High Point in Belle Chasse is absolute worse place I ever shot.
1/2 of stations did not work,
grounds not keep,
literally grass looked ready to be hayed.
Had to buy their shells, and rounds was still expensive as hell.

How much does a covey rise cost?

Don’t they have a lodge too?

I think Covey Rise is member only, I might be mistaken.

Agreed, I was a member at High Point for a year when I lived in Belle Chasse. If two thirds of the machines worked in a day it was cause for celebration. But if you live on the West Bank it was better than driving to Houma or Covey rise for a quick practice round.

Running Creek Ranch also opened recently in Poplarville, MS. Hawk who used to set targets at GOL is the course manager so the targets should be great. Looks nice but haven't been yet.

Covey Rise is the overall best in LA at the moment. Their membership is reasonable, $65/month which includes 200 targets that roll over if you don't use them. I would put 3D at a tie for quality of targets but doesn't compare on facilities.

Place is legit as hell. Lots of tough targets and registered shooting opportunities.

Sad because as a kid in the late 80's, my Dad had a membership there and we'd go almost every weekend. It was more of a club than just a clay shooting range. Every weekend dozens of families would go out there. Go shooting, cook amazing foods at the clubhouse and just stay there all day enjoying life. Grounds and equipment were always pristine and fully operational. It was some of the best times I ever had back then. The owner then got greedy and tried to start doing quail hunts on the property. Got busted for baiting the fields. My dad went on 1 hunt and the guides had to walk up to the birds and kick them to get them to get up off the bait.

Since then it's changed hands many times and closed down several times and it's a shithole from what I hear.

McHenry Shooting Range in Perkinston, MS is legit for a public range.
