Black powder at ranges?

[Smoothbore]

Anyone know of any ranges within 50 miles or so of N'Awlins that allow black powder?

Lafourche and Terrebonne sheriff ranges allow black powder.

 

[topgunz1]

any outdoor range should be good to go

I've seen them being fired at Honey island, and no one is going to complain out at the buffer zone.

I've seen blackpowder at Honey Island and at Nick's in Garyville.

Thanks, but where's the buffer zone?

OK, so this is around Stennis. Is it a legitimate shooting range? Is it legal to shoot / be there?

OK, I'll have to stop by. I just don't want to find myself in a situation where "for starters, the penalty is confiscation of your gun(s). Then,...."

Shooting by yourself at an unorganized shooting area can be uncomfortable. For best results bring someone with you or meet one of us out there.
When shooting by myself in an undeveloped area I always keep one loaded firearm on me at all times. I've had strangers show up and take an overzealous interest in my guns(one guy in particular, he was a banjo short of being a Deliverance extra...).

Smoothbore, when you want to go out with those black powder pieces let me know. I'll try to meet you out there with some of mine.
What do you shoot? Traditional or that new in-line stuff?

The APSO range in Gonzales allows blackpowder I think. Last time I was there the guy next to me was shooting blackpowder.

Tallow Creek in Madisonville allows blackpowder. 100yrds, $10/hr (not the best, but all we have here)

I'm not-yet a blackpowder shooter. I shoot cartridge pistols, at the Jefferson Indoor Range on Hickory Avenue (Street?) - but I have ordered a blackpowder revolver: an Uberti .44 Remington.

I've also ordered an R&D conversion cylinder to go with it, so should be able to shoot loose black, or black cartridges, where the smoke won't be an issue, and smokeless cartridges where it would be.

I'm interested in the traditional blackpowder guns.

Yes, that's another thing that worries me. There are a lot of guns and a lot of screwballs floating around: and when the two of them occur together...

When you're ready to go, give me a shout. We can hit the BZ together and smoke out the skeeters.
Here's some of my stuff; .50 Kentucky pistol, .36 Colt sheriff, .44 Colt Confederate Navy.

Those skeeters haven't a prayer, GB!
