About Bodcau Shooting Range

Bodcau Shooting Range is an outdoor shooting range in Haughton, LA, open to the public. One reviewer describes a rifle range, a pistol range and a skeet shooting area, and another lists four ranges: shotgun clays, rifle, pistol and archery. A reviewer who identifies as a volunteer lists rifle distances of 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards and pistol distances of 10 and 25 yards, and another wishes the range went beyond 200 yards.

One visitor describes the range as "tucked away deep in the woods". Reviewers mention a range safety officer and spotting scopes on the range, one reviewer notes shaded and covered firing lines, and another describes an archery trail with targets of varying sizes, heights and distances. Several reviewers advise reading the posted rules before bringing a firearm in, and two mention taking kids there. Several reviewers describe the range as clean and well kept, one reviewer notes clean toilet facilities and ample parking, and another, quoting the range's site, lists a shotgun range with manual target throwers.

Reviews of the staff and range officers are mixed: many describe friendly, knowledgeable staff, including help sighting in rifles, while several describe a rude range officer or an uncomfortable encounter with one. Some reviewers also report long gaps between shooting cycles while targets are checked.

I’ve been a regular visitor to the range for some time and truly appreciate the facility. The free access and the generally professional, relaxed approach of the RSOs have made it a place I enjoy returning to almost every weekend. However, I had an uncomfortable experience today with one of the new RSOs (wearing a green shirt, no range shirt yet). While I was actively shooting, he entered my lane area multiple times to pick up casings and sweep, at one point brushing my feet with the broom. I buy small/medium targets and I can fit 2 in the middle placing them on top of each other he instructed me that I could only use one target, citing that some shooters hit the sides of the frames. I’m concerned about the safety implications of RSOs working so closely around shooters who are actively firing live rounds. Having someone sweep near or against a shooter’s feet or enter their personal space while they are handling a firearm can be highly distracting and creates a potential safety risk. I understand the need to keep the range clean, but this should be done in a way that does not interfere with shooters or compromise safety. I hope this feedback is helpful as you evaluate new staff. Maintaining the high safety standards and respectful environment I’ve come to expect is important to me and, I’m sure, to the rest of the shooting community. Thank you for your attention to this matter

My son and I got to the archery range together. They have a great trail with targets of varying sizes with a wide range of height and distances.

Great Shooting Range. Most people shooting there seem educated, so no range officers yelling all the time. I really enjoy going there to shoot. 28 Dec. 2025, still a great place to shoot.
