Honey Island AAR

[OneStory]

First time at Honey Island and I'm impressed. Nice place. Nice people. Very helpful range staff.

For what it is, I'm satisfied and will go again. I'll drive right passed the range in Covington and drive another hour (round trip) and burn $15 in gas
to go there instead.

See you at the range...

i enjoyed honey island the one and only time i went also. My son has 2 free passes to allow a adult of his choice in for free, the range officers give them out to kids at the gun shows. Hopefully i can put those passes to use soon.

Yep, Honey Island is my "Happy Place".

The summer heat cam be so brutal, but with the weather getting better, i hope to make a lot more trips.

Went there a couple weeks ago. Everybody was zeroing in their hunting rifles so there was a little bit of a wait for the rifle range but it wasn't too bad. I got to shoot an HK SLB2000, that is a bad-ass gun!

Me and my wife went yesterday, for the first time. We had to go to Mall Wart to get a
one day Louisiana Wildlife stamp. We wanted to check the place out before we went
long term on the range. Had to sign in and out to get out of the refuge. Its a little pain
in the butt, but it is understandable when you deal with anything that the government
is managing. I understand it is also good if there is a person missing in the refuge. Not
really a hassle.

Oh yeah, the range. Real nice. The weather was great. My wife got a lot of free lessons
from the range officer (I think he liked her :-) He gave us some good information to help
us shoot better. The range is run professionally and safely. It was a pleasant experience.
A lot nicer shooting outdoors that in a dark indoor range. We will be going back soon,
especially in the cooler weather that we will be having now. Me and my wife = four thumbs
up!

A couple recommendations...get a Cane Pole fishing license instead of the Wild LA Stamp. I think it's $2 if I remember right, and it's good for a year. Also, next time you're out there grab a few extra check-in cards. I fill them out at home before I leave (takes me about 6 seconds now ) and just toss them in the box on your way in.
