Highlights
Outing Highlights
Full‑auto machine‑gun packages
Select from a range of small‑boat shooting packages — from single‑gun options to cinematic action packages — and add extra ammunition at checkout for a heavier trigger day.
Private airboat through classic Louisiana swamp
After the range you’ll board a private airboat for roughly an hour and a half of swamp running, giving any day‑tripper a chance to see marsh, cypress, and the wildlife corridor beyond the city.
Door‑to‑door, coolers, and a private party option
Private tours include door‑to‑door transport, a private airboat, coolers or cooler bags, and an optional stop for provisions — with alcohol permitted after the shooting segment.
What the day feels like
How the day feels
The day moves with deliberate momentum: pickup at your hotel or AirBnB, a drive straight to the range for your chosen full‑auto session, then out to the bayous for an hour‑and‑a‑half private airboat tour — a compact, high‑energy package that mixes rangetime intensity with the slower, atmospheric rhythms of the swamp.
