The Stennis Buffer zone (one of the first exits heading I-10 east in Mississippi) and the Honey Island Swamp (one of the first 5 or so exits on I-12 heading towards ???)
Both are about the same distance from NO. Where in New Orleans are you located?
Bayou Dragon is in Crown Point, down Lafite-Larose Hwy towards Lafite. Like greg said, last time at BD, the ventilation was HORRIBLE! As opposed to Top Gun in Houston, where I've shot a bit, they have hospital OR spec HEPA ventilation/filtration.

I used to go to FITS in Slidell. Its a very nice fairly new indoor pistol range with GOOD ventilation- It even has AC.
Heading west, I like Nick's in Garyville (Airline hwy about 10 minutes past Laplace). 100 yard outdoor range. Good people too...

Go the The Shooters' Club at the north end of Hickory (or is it Dickory?) - It's the one that starts at River Road and dead-ends into the train tracks. It has many lanes, lots of space and light and good ventilation. Lots of cops practice there too, and the lanes are about 50' long. It's at the limit of my Ruger MkII's range. Most of the time the guy working there is really nice, but it is affiliated with Shooter's Club, so sometimes the guys working there are jerks like they were on David Dr. Another nice thing about it is you don't get the hoodies coming in wid' dey Hi-Points and Taurus's waving them around like toys.
It's about $12 per hour.

yea shooters club is my favorite place to go. me and my friends go there all the time. some of us live in marrero, and some live in avondale.
only person i like chatting to is the old guy with glasses, very cool guy. all the other guys working there just seem to give off this attitude like they just want you to leave.

its so expensive to shoot over here...
i went to Precision Firearms & Indoor Range in baton rouge cause they had full auto to rent, but when i went over there they had told me they only had a thompson for rent.... i was under the impression that i was going to shoot m4 and h&k mp5 that my friends shot before.... but was utterly disappointed when i got there...
it was 15/person for each lane. i'm so used to shooting in texas with my friends for free at ranges that i forget how expensive shooting is...
indoor ranges are ok but real expensive... any nice outdoor ranges for pistols that are cheap?

honey island is cheap, but it's a bit of a haul. i'm still wondering about the land fill just south of belle chasse. it's obviously not official, but there aint **** there. if the sporting clays place right around the corner from it would open their rifle/pistol ranges, we'd be set. but they don't seem too likely to do that.
Come shoot with me. I have a membership at Shooters, saves us a few bucks.
shooters club (NOT david drive) is around $12 i think, and that's not TOO bad, i guess.
personally, i want a free-or-cheap place to shoot outside that's a maximum of a 30 minute drive. i don't think that's too much to ask, but apparently i'm wrong ...
ETA - maybe i should just move ... and don't think i haven't considered it ...
shooters on hickory is 14.99 for the range and 5.99 for extra person
with a membership its 4.99 for the range and 2.99 for extra person
the membership is 60 bucks for 6 months. So if you go 6 times in 6 months it its about the same. but if you go as often as I do, 2 to 3 times a week, It is worth it.

BZ is about 45ish away. May cost you more in gas then range charge. But I guess you're free to shoot whatever you like.
If you go there (the BZ) once the drive dosent seems that bad.
I drive to gulfport every Tuesday. Its not an issue.
