Heard several months ago land had been cleared for construction of an indoor range on or near Hwy 59 in the Covington or Mandeville area.

Anyone know anything about it???

It's right by the new Herc Rentals, other than that I know nothing.

Construction has started, but the building is not complete.

Will be able to shoot rifles there? We really need a rifle range open during the week around here.

I’m not sure how these pistol only indoor range places stay open. The construction is expensive as shite and it doesn’t seem like the demand is really there. I pass the one on Millerville 2x a day and it’s always deserted in the parking lot

I really wish there was a nice outdoor rifle/shotgun range between BR and Slidell. I can shoot handguns in my backyard

My dad and I have been the only folks in there before and also have been only a lane or 2 open. 8 or 10 pistol and same number on the rifle side. It's a gun store with a range.

You're referring to the Range USA, correct? I stop by to buy ammo from time to time. There's always someone or a small group shooting. There always seems to be 1 or 2 people throwing down 700 to 2k as I look around. They are doing fine.

Slidell has a really cool range, F.I.T.S., but it's indoor and pistol only. They are always busy. I've been driving out there twice a month since maybe June. With my military discount, I only pay $16 after purchasing 2 targets.

There is an outdoor range in Madisonville/Ponchatoula. I'm not sure if they are currently open, though. It's called Bedico Creek shooting Grounds. (985) 974-4201. Give them a call and let me know!

LA Guns in Madisonville on Hwy 22 is also opening a range around March. It's indoor and pistol only.

I was told Apocalypse Sports was opening a range in Ponchatoula, but it's been a while since I've heard anyone mention it. I bought a 1911 from them in October. Great selection and really good prices.

Bedico range is open, went a couple of times over the past 2 months to get a couple rifles sighted in. It's a dump of a place but at least somewhere to shoot (100 yds). They have a longer range onsite by appointment. Think it's 300 or 500 yds.

What's the current price? By hour?

It seems like their fb page is not current.

I thought they used to do Frangible Fridays. You had to buy their .223/5.56 ammo, but you could shoot your rifle indoors.

I might be thinking of another place though.

I'm not sure. I've only seen handguns inside the range. I have never been on a Friday, though, only Saturdays, Sundays, and the occasional Tuesday.

I just checked their FB page, and they have a post about Frangible Fridays...from May 2022.

Probably a safe bet that they're not doing it anymore.

Probably not! I didn't think to scroll that far back.

Apocalypse range is currently being built. The metal structure is up. It shouldn’t be much longer
