Anyone know which BR area LEOs let the public use their outdoor ranges?

I’m not 100% positive but I thought Ascension Parish range by Lamar Dixon had times the public could use it. That or it was the one in Livingston.

Been to both for work and remember seeing something about public use during certain times but that was a few years ago.

Ascension parish sheriffs office does public shooting the second and 4th Thursday of every month from 2-6pm.

APSO will provide eye and ear protection and targets
APSO will provide spotting scopes
No rapid-fire shooting allowed
For questions or more information, please call: 225.621.8365
I don't think it's a requirement to be an AP resident, I don't remember being checked last time I went. It's also until safe light, so November-March it may get shorter a bit shorter.

ETA: As someone who passes it most days for work, there's probably not a place I'd rather avoid on a Thursday between 3:30-5:30 than that part of the parish, plant workers getting off on their last day for the week, an outlet mall, a community college, a sports complex, and connected to an unfinished roundabout with traffic lights that are as far out of sync as possible rivals Siegen Lane

Not BR area per se but Terrebonne and Lafourche both have pretty decent shooting ranges.

I think there is an Iberville Parish range on Hwy 1 that is open to out-of-parish residents for a fee. Not sure what the fee is, though.

ETA: $12 for non-residents. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 9-5 (standard time) or 10-6 (daylight savings time)

Have shot at Iberville range a few times. Great facility. Rifle range goes from 25 yards to 100 yards. Have to buy their targets. Rifle range is covered and has multiple shooting tables. They have sleds and vises along with spotting scopes, ear protection and glasses.

Sherbourne WMA has a public range. Years ago, BRPD opened their range to the public before deer season for sighting in. Honey Island Swamp WMA has a public range which is open Fridays and weekends.

Big fan of the Iberville range as well. Very nice, clean, well run facility.
