Does anyone know if Tallow Creek Shooting Grounds outside of Covington is still open for business? The phone number doesn't work, but I seem to remember that it didn't work a couple of years ago and range was still open. The last review I can find is from Jan 27, 2017. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pretty sure the old Tallow Creek owners just opened up Bedico Creek Shooting Grounds off Traino landing.

Any more info on this? If it's the same owners I'm sure it will be just as shitty as Tallow Creek was. Probably be even more expensive since it's "new".

I dont know, but they are going to be pissed when I win the Powerball and buy that 820 acres on 22 in that area and build a bigass range.

Thats my plan anyways.

Glad to see them go. Even though they are 5 mins from me it was a mudhole. $10 per hr and mostly wet and muddy. They were convenient to go for 10 mins to make sure the rifles were sighted in at 100 the day before deer season but if you have time its worth the drive to honey island. Whats this new range the OB speaks of at bedico? Where? Cost? Amenities?

They have a facebook page. Ita off traino rd which is off 22 by bedico.

Pictures on facebook don't look like much, but its better than nothing I guess.

Ill drive by tomorrow since I'm in the area.

Rode by there, couldn't see anything other than a wooden sign.

There was a chain blocking the driveway, couldnt see the range.

Sign didn't say anythung other than "range", guessing they are going to put something else.

I sent a message on Facebook on the new page for the Bedico Range and here was the reply...


So. Yep... Same owners. It'll be a run down, POS in no time at all.

Bringing this back up, but is this range for sure closed? I see people posting they were recently there using the range.
