Lets get a list of good LA ranges/ gun stores going (Page 2 of 2)
|
Does anyone know anything about this place? Its supposedly right down the road from my house, but the address is a Karate place or something. |
And all the fat-skinny people and all the tall-short people And all the nobody people and all the somebody people I never thought I'd have to penalize so many people.

New Gun Store in Bossier,
Had afew minutes to kill poked my head in. Seemed like nice, good knowledgeable fokes. In house gunsmithing Say they should get there NFA license soon for suppressors and all that fun. DavTac Prices seemed very reasonable. Update, my original post one about Shreveport area gun stores |
|
I shot at FITS in Slidell for the first time this weekend.
Their store wasn't very impressive. Not a whole lot there, and not a lot of high quality stuff. Prices didn't seem fantastic. Their range, though, I would go back for. Nice little 8 lane indoor pistol range. Everything was in good working condition, seemed reasonably clean. |
| I usually shoot in the cane fields and behind the levees near the south farms of sherburne (Ramah/Maringouin) being that i work as a LEO on the northend of iberville parish...the farmers greatly appreciate me and my partners' clean,fun and humane styles of varmint eradication or as we call it tactical long range firearms training for SWAT...we dont charge anything for our services but more tham few times ammo has been discreetly, tactically and even strategically placed in our (technically theirs) hunting areas..along with the occasional cases of beer, water, tobacco products, slim jims and non mass produced (purchased legally at EVERY store/gas station these days from sellout shiners or legal distillers) |

The prices were higher than I expected, especially for transfers, but as far as pistols ranges go; I like it. |
Do you live in Louisiana? Did you know we have our own club house?

Small shop that opened a little while back: BRG Gun Parts & Ammo in Ruston. Don't seem to carry a whole lot of stock (except 5.11 clothes and LEO/EMT/FF uniforms). They charge $15 per item for transfers & can order anything you ask for, Class 3 included... actually had a Silencerco Sparrow sitting in the display case when I was there a few days ago. PMags for reasonable prices ($13 regular, $16 windowed); also the only LA dealer for ETS mags, if you're looking to buy local. CHL courses offered. Nice guys! |

Yup, Friday plate matches are back! Nice shop, $20 transfers for non-members. Range updates going on right now too so the facilities are well cared-for. |
Left-handed and right-minded!

| Fuselier in Arnaudville is putting a lot of money into its range. We now have a keycard swipe for the front gate, and the new pistol range is nice. It's nice to be part of a club that is steadily putting money back into the range. |

| We can take TurboGoat off the list; they closed the doors on Nov 4th. AFAIK the owner's keeping his FFL and doing transfers and orders by appointment, but the storefront's gone. |

I recently did a few transfers through Louisiana Explosives Training, located on the 90 between New Iberia and Lafayette. Gentleman that helped me was friendly.

We seriously need more long-range places to go. I'm a member at Fusilier and cannot understand why there is so much resistance among the members towards extending the range. 300 yards is too damn short. They have a TON of land out there to do whatever they want with.

"Ya brung two too many"
| All members of Fusilier should make every effort to attend the annual meeting on Friday Sept 6th. A LOT is going on with the club, including possible changes in leadership. From what I hear the main topic of discussion will be the expansion of the property to include longer ranges. Votes will be held so please try to attend! I'll be there for sure. |

Lake Charles/DeRidder/Westlake DTS Tactical right off of Hwy 171 North of Lake Charles. On the right hand side after you cross the river basin and first come into Moss Bluff. They have a great selection of almost everything one could need. Good selection of ammo and reloading powders also. And an amazing “Consignment” wall with a bunch of cool items for sale there as well. And a fresh coffee table to boot too. Their website www.dtstactical.com has a lot of good stuff as well that other people are always out of stock or backlogged. And if you buy from the site, have it shipped to their store and you won’t get charged shipping. They will then call you when it gets to the store so you can go pick it up. Just all around a great place, friendly and humble and just nice good family oriented business. Doc & Sarah Hampton are the husband and wife owners & operators of it. And they have a Silencer Co kiosk there too. Arabi/NOLA Neutral Ground Gun Company…. The former St. Bernard on 212 Aycock Street. Re-opened under new ownership, one of the owners being James Reeves from TFBTV. Not a bad place! Went to their grand opening and they had a decent selection for a quick start up. The range is also updated with new and brighter lighting as well as other newer features. |

Gun Shop: Metairie / New Orleans Freedom Brothers Armory on N Causeway right off the I-10. Nice young guys and they deserve a try. Cheap transfers, nice shop and customer friendly. They are at most of the local shows, too. I try to support them because most LGS and enthusiasts seem to be in the rapidly greying category!!! |

Long Range Alley (Shreveport area) is shutting down. They posted this the other day: Attached File |

Couple stores, a range and monthly PCSL style match I didn’t see listed. Desoto Pawn/Desoto Guns&Gear Keachi La great selection of everything and also an NFA dealer. Keeps a good selection of suppressors on hand. Overall just a great store, people and their pricing is really good. Spotted Dog Columbia La nice selection of guns. Has hunting and fishing stuff, along with a bow shop. Also an NFA dealer through Silencer Shop. They also keep a selection of suppressors on hand. Great guys to deal with. White Feather range in Deridder haven’t been to it in several years. Had a nice pistol range with plenty of steel targets to plink at. Rifle range went out to 700 IIRC had steel targets hanging every 100 yards. Believe the gun shop that’s attached to it is Max’s Monthly match in Leesville Sports Shooters West Louisiana second Saturday of the month. Usually in practiscore about a week before. The group on Facebook goes by the same name for any questions or match info. PCSL style match with some fun thrown in. Really good monthly match for someone wanting to get started with pistol matches. |
