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.

Heard the manager at the Siegen location say Airline flooded while shopping Saturday morning. Probably a roof leak.

Have not been but I have heard good things about the Meadows Gun Club in Forsythe, GA.

Santa Rosa Shooting Center near Pensacola is a good stop depending on your route. It is a well taken care of course to keep in your back pocket for beach trips. I believe they added a second course since I went.

Providence Hill is a must go place if you are into sporting clays. It is private but open for registered shoots several times a year. If there is a finer place to shoot clays in the country I'd like to see it.

My grandfather took me fishing with Troy Robichaux with Saltwater Guide Service out of Golden Meadow when I was little. He was great with me, I caught a couple reds and was hooked for life.

He is still good with my little cousins 20 years later. I highly recommend him.

Just moved back to BR after living in Belle Chasse for 2.5 years.

I Agree with Htran's list. Crime is low and there is a lot more green space than the rest of the westbank. It seems like a sheriff's officer lives on almost every block. When my wife got in a fender bender in town 8 cars responded immediately.

Additions to Htran's list:
1. The public schools, especially the elementary school, rank high every year.
2. Best place for lunch is Lil Lee's at the Conoco station in Jesuit Bend. (Aka "Pink Store" or "Green Top" depending on where you work)
3. World class fishing and duck hunting a short drive away that never has traffic.
4. Jeanfreau's is a great hardware store with awesome service. Beats the 15 minute drive to Home Depot or Lowe's for inexpensive items.

Cons:
1. A lot of the restaurants have very similar food so you will be headed across the bridge or to NOLA. BC did just get a decent Mexican joint though.
2. Small town drama / inbred politics
3. Newwave communications is the cable provider for most of Belle Chasse and they absolutely suck.

State sporting clays shoot was at Covey Rise this weekend. A lot of regulars (including the new owner) were there this weekend.

We have hundreds year round in the treated water ponds at work. Sometimes thousands, and they will make a literal pile of ducklings.
