Slight correction for those who´ve not been to the Bogue Chitto range: there is no longer an orange triangular reflector; we will post a large white sign with the letters "SWGC" at the entrance.
Thanks for the post Doug!

Just a quick update for those interested: the match is a "GO" and the sign is currently south of the border in Amite LA so just look for the open gate.
See y'all at the range!
