Archery Range in Baton Rouge?

I guess you could always bring your own target to the old highland range?


I used to bring a target and shoot in City Park when I lived in NOLA

This range was previously located at Highland Road Community Park but was moved to Louisiana Park - 6998 Antioch Road, Baton Rouge, LA 70817 - to make room for a boat launch to be constructed at Highland.
Here's a link to the new location:

My yard is not long enough (TWSS). Where you guys shooting for this type of distance practice?

If you have your own target, you could always set up on the river side of the levee just about anywhere between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. (Shhhh, I know a few guys who've sighted in rifles like that.)

Not in Baton Rouge, but if you are across the river for work or anything, the Iberville Parish Firing Range near Plaquemine also has 20, 50, and 70 yard bow range with an elevated shooting tower. Have used the firing range a few times and it is excellent.

I have my own target but would prefer a bigger backstop for those long shots.

I hang a big rubber stall mat up behind my target when I shoot that far. They're about $50 at Tractor Supply.

Stopped by for the first time last weekend to check it out. Cool place

Yeah it's a cool shop. Clay the owner is a good guy too. I don't mind giving them my money

I know Bass Pro use to have one.

I bring my Block out to the old Highland range and shoot since I live close by. Been doing it the past couple years and never had anyone approach me.

Also climbed a tree by the kayak launch with my saddle and shot down into the parking lot since it’s usually empty

Congrats on the tag!!!

Percy quin state park in mccomb. You could get a cabin for the weekend and practice your long range there.

I regularly shoot 100yds in my yard. I use a black hole 18”x18” to shoot that distance. I have a 8” circle on. The only reason to practice that far is to make 50 seem like a chip shot. It does great to stop arrows at that distance.

Good luck. If you cant find anywhere, and want to come to mccomb, we can shoot in my yard one afternoon.
