Re: Jim jones range
I have been a member for years. Well worth it. It’s closed to the public right now. When it reopens, it’s open to the public on Saturday’s. Keep in mind it’s a roughly 2 mile dirt road drive once you turn off 87.

You know us city slickers need help . I won’t tell you the story of how I buried a Lexus up to the fenders in mud a few years ago at the range when it started to rain.

Hey, it happens to country folk, too! After the last rain storm, I had to pull a young lady out of a road ditch, just a quarter mile from her driveway, when she tried to turn around to get something she forgot at home. Four wheeler just got her more buried than she could handle.

Re: Jim jones range
Been a member there the last 5-6 years. It’s nice to be able to drive up on a weekday during the summer and stay a little cooler while getting some practice in.

Re: Jim jones range
That's what I'm thinking. Are there any kind of shooting restrictions during Summer when Tonto has fire restrictions?

Re: Jim jones range
Not that I recall, it’s private land. Looking back through my club emails I can see where smoking was restricted on the range, but shooting was permitted during NFS restrictions.

Re: Jim jones range
That place was supposed to be kept secret for the locals. Never advertise your shooting spot on a forum!

Free cool aid. You sold me on that alone.

Do they have a 1000 yard range?
