Us arizona guys

There used to be this AWESOME shooting area out by Florence Federal Prison. Had a great setup, was outdoors and fulfilled all the state wilderness shooting requirements, and it's kind of cool to be target shooting with the old Florence prison in the background....kind of surreal.

If you guys get a Phoenix date let me know. I'll figure out SOME way to get time to get down there!

 

Scottsdale

 

Hell, if there's enough interest I might just have to take some leave and make the 8 hour trip just for the occasion. Of course, I'll bring all my toys... hopefully I'll have some rounds for my Desert Eagle reloaded by then and won't have to buy any new ones. At $35.00 a box of 20, it's getting ridiculous.

 

Well I'm comming from Flagstaff. I have a little but sturdy Tracker 4 door, so I'm not adverse to car-pooling with other Northern Arizonans. Ben Avery would be choice since it's on the North side of Phoenix. Agreed about the Tuscon/Casa Grande/Yuma folks.....a bit of a drive for them.

Keep me posted!

 

That would rock! The more the merrier. Phoenix is a pretty cool city to vacation in if you've never been here as a tourist.

 

I live in Coolidge and have been to that range in CG. This video was shot out there. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvI3PP8W4Lw[/ame] There is no rangemaster and it is free to use. There are about 10 tables out there, but it looked like they were building more. You have to bring your own target stands. They have several separate shooting lanes including a 300m rifle range. The last time I was out there, only the rifle range had tables.

 

Damn.... that adds a few miles (about another 65). But, depending on when you guys want to do this I should still be game.

 

Target stands really aren't that hard to make. All you need is some 2x12's a skil saw and some nails. If you have some 2 inch square iron tubing, you can bolt that to the back of the stand to insert the target holder in. From there, you just make a square target holder with long legs on it out of 2x2's and staple cardboard over it. Shouldn't be that hard to make. Only if you have some spare lumber laying around.

 

Here is the range in CG http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v...e=h&lvl=17&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&encType=1

 

Looks like a really great place to shoot. I like the berms all the way around the ranges, that way you don't get a stray bullet from a different range. Looks good.

 

I just need you guys to give me a date at least 2 weeks in advance if I am going to take leave to make the trip ok?

 

Requesting status report.
What say ye, "Handsome One", any more details??
