3405 Gerstner Memorial Blvd. | (337) 240-5387
Hours: Monday–Saturday, 9am–6pm (Closed Sundays)
Archery: 6-lane, 30-yard indoor range. Same pricing structure as Baton Rouge—$100 bow setups (free with purchase), $40 basic inspections, $25 paper tunes, $10/hr or $200/yr range access.
Fishing: Live worms and frozen shrimp in stock.
Their closeout and overstock section moves regularly—they stock listings on GunBroker, Amazon, and eBay in addition to in-store inventory. Staff recommendation: call before you hunt specific items, but check back weekly since inventory updates happen constantly.
Both locations offer the same core services, but Lake Charles has the larger retail footprint and a bigger archery range (30-yard vs. 20-yard). Baton Rouge has been the flagship longer and carries deeper local knowledge.
