who would like a range in south port Allen?

[rjamesmann]

I want to see if it would be worth building an outdoor range, with covered lines and benches, possible location is just south of inter coastal between port Allen and brusly. proposing a 25 yd pistol range, 100 yard rifle range and maybe a 600 yard range and skeet range. a fair range fee would support upkeep and expansion of a small shop for targets and ammo etc. if businesses supports it, an in house gunsmith would come later on.

at first customers would bring there own targets and ammo. all activity would be overseen by a range master, with a cease fire every so often to go down range.

ideas and input welcome, I just want to know if there's enough shooters to support this thing, I'm tired of driving out of town to get on a good rifle range!

Almost everyone wants a new range in their Parish.

I'd like to see a semi private range built in slidell/Covington area with rifle at 300+ yards.

The more the merrier.

Would love to see a range in the location you are talking about.

 

[JCcypress]

I would be all over it.

I can think of at least six people, including myself who would support the range.

There is a huge market there because of the plants and other industries.

 

[Danny Abear]

Yep, the Boulanger tree service site would be a perfect place for it

hunters run is a skeet and trap country club with a small range on the side, that's awesome but I'm not a bird hunter, I'm talking a short to mid range rifle haven with no commitment, that caters to all shooters, even if you shoot twice a year.

I'm loving the feed back, pros and cons! keep it coming the more support- the more possibilities!

thanks for the info JC!

Me and the wife would be all over it. I live in Plaquemine, so I'm stuck making the trek to Sherburne every time I want to shoot high power stuff. The proposed range would be a god send, especially for the 600yd targets. I'd love to see a 1000yd setup one day.

hey guys, spread the word about this thread, I'm gunna use it like a "petition" and maybe get a ball rolling on this!

 

[BlackStallion]

I'd love the sound of that idea!!!

 

[dantheman]

Is this just a dream or is there a chance of it really happening ?

Petition to who? I would love to see it happen but is this something you're wanting to build you're self or just something you'd like to see one day?

In the past 10 years approximately 12 people told me they were going to try to open a range in the Greater Baton Rouge Area and Alan Easterly is the only one to do so and that has taken him several years of hard work to achieve. I wish the Op. all the best.

i would come shoot there if it really happens.
