About this range Moderate evidence

Red River East Outdoor Shooting Range is a public shooting range operated by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF). LDWF operates Waddill Outdoor Education Center with a dedicated public air gun range (12 stations at 10m + 4 stations at 20m, designed for official competitions), establishing state-agency airgun infrastructure precedent. LDWF FAQ explicitly states: 'Is the air rifle range open to the public? Yes. Any individual or small group can use the range' (with rule 'Air rifles exceeding 1200 fps are prohibited'). LDWF's state-agency framework supports airgun activity at LDWF public ranges.

State public shooting range operated by Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, federally funded through the US Fish & Wildlife Service Wildlife & Sport Fish Restoration Program (WSFR), funded by the Pittman-Robertson excise tax on firearms, ammunition, and archery equipment. Range Type: Firearms. State fish & wildlife agencies typically permit airguns under standard 'rifle and pistol' rules; phone canvass recommended to confirm explicit airgun policy at this specific facility.

Always call ahead.

Range policies change — sometimes mid-season. Indoor lanes update caliber rules, clubs revise membership requirements, and public ranges suspend airgun access without warning. Confirm current policy by phone or website before you make the trip.
