Pookies has those scopes you can see very well at night.

Troy is the best in the area about archery. They’re supposed to move the store @ the end of the year and it’ll have an indoor shooting range out to 60 yards in the new location.
The owner of the store is a really nice guy as well.
As far as size and selection, there’s nothing close to Simmons in the state.
TP is a nice store.
Spotted Dog is nice as well. Chad & his dad are good people.

Simmons is the best. Some other cool stores out there but none compare to Simmons in size, scope and quality. Just too far from south and central LA.

Security sporting goods in Alexandria.
But seriously Boone's Hunting and Trapping in Woodworth is a little gem. Just pass up the entrance to the shooting range and you run in to it. Just a little building behind their house but a great place to buy a gun and some ammo.

Lafayette Shooters is awesome. I haven't been in Songy's in probably 20 years, but that used to be a good spot back in the day.

If there's something better than Simmon's I'm not familiar with it.

Terrible location to get in an out of but hey do have plenty of what you’re looking for. Always aggravated me to have them follow you around so they could put their commission # on your items.
Haven’t been in security in probably 35 years, downtown location was cool as a kid.

Spotted Dog in Columbia is really good.
Best place in Louisiana hands down.
