Do we need another outdoor range in the Phoenix Metro area?

Yes. Without AZFG. Steel out to 1k Membership only. Dynamic movement. Etc, Etc.

I just moved to AZ and heard it was the all about shooting, but I have to drive +2 hours to get most of my rifle practice in and the long range rifle matches are really lacking. PRS/NRL (centerfire & 22lr) type shooting is the fastest growing of all shooting sports, but there is much here. Seems we are still not considered important.

Been Avery is adding a 300yrd range with steel targets on the public range. They have a 1000yrd but it's private for clubs.

100 yard indoor seems like a no brainer in the Phoenix metro. It gets stupid hot here. There were 2 open to the public and 3 private in the area I lived in.

It would need to be a underground structure. In the NRA books a outdoor range requires a minimum of 1/4 mile away from any outdoor structure. Now at one time I was looking at real estate in the valley to put a range in. Still looking a a k mart building and a old frys building.

New 300 yd steel range is just west of the DPS range. Has been open a couple of months now. Pay $12 at the public range.

Do you need to be on any special shooting team or group to get access to it?

I think it's open the second and third weekend of each month. If enough interest, they hope to open it every weekend. I started a thread about this a while back -
