Only bad thing about Sherburne is that since it is open to the public the weekends are packed and not everyone is as conscientious about firearm safety as most folks on this board. This time of year every bubba hunter that hasn't touched their hunting rifle since last year shows up with his rifle, a paper plate and a box of ammo. I have had to loan them my stapler and they stand there with their fingers in their ears for hearing protection. It can be a dangerous place on the weekends.
It sounds pretty dangerous. You should charge em $3 each to use ur stapler
If its like the other public ranges I've been to, they wouldn't pay the $3 and instead have their buddy hold the target up for them.
I am looking for an Outdoor Range for my daughter at 100 yards. Need it to be close to the Lafayette area and would prefer not to join a private range. Any ideas would be extremely helpful.
The Lafayette parish sheriff's range has a 100 yd line. I understand they are open to the public one Saturday morning per month. The Iberia sheriffs' range is very nice also, but a bit of a drive from Carencro.
LMAO
I do not know how old your daughter is but when my oldest son was old enough to start shooting with me, that’s when I said *screw it* and gave up on Sherburne, IPSO, St. Mary SO, etc and just joined the Fusilier Complex. Worth every penny.
I have confidence in most of the members I’ve met and all of the RSO’s. My oldest is now ten and has learned a tremendous amount in both gun safety and pistol marksmanship from members. There is a level of comfort when shooting around others that was not there at the public ranges. Obviously I’m still very cautious around strangers with guns, but it is very easy to see how much more safety minded these folks are. I know spending the money may be a difficult pill to swallow, but it’s relatively cheap peace of mind. I’ve had too many bad experiences at those other ranges to go back to that...
