I would never wait to shoot at that place. How come you didn't go out to table mesa instead?

That or its cheaper to shoot there then any other range. I go to Shooters World every once in a while in the summer and never get out of there for less than $20-30.

You know we always have ARFCOM shoots up here in Prescott, but I'd love to do some kind of get together at Ben Avery so we could utilize the long distance ranges and the handgun ranges. RSOs are a pain the ass sometimes, but I'm open for doing it some morning in the middle of the week if some guys wanna join me. I've been meaning to get over there and do some shooting, and it's only an hour drive south for me.

Hell yeah, no one EVER does shoots on the week days, and it is pretty much impossible for me to get off weekends.

Rio Salado range FTW

Or whatever you call it Usery Mountain Range.



The area you guys use in Prescott for the shoots was great. Altough I missed the exact area by about a mile.

Well, then let's come up with a weekday and make an ARFCOM range day. Now that it's so nice and "cool" in the Valley that I can actually breathe down there, I'm looking forward to it!

what about the week after? That would be the first week of december. Only way I can make it out would be to take leave and I can only take one week of it right now. Saving up the rest of it for when the kid is born.

Just double checking because I haven't been to BA in over a year, but how do they feel about shotguns anyways?

Just went yesturday and got scolded for shooting bird shot. The kicker was, I was doing a function test and did'nt even have a target frame up. I was told slugs or 00 buck, no birdshot. I told the RO that I was not going to waste slugs on a function test and put it away.

good to know about the birdshot. I'd like to know why they think OO buck or slug would be safer then bird when birdshot barely kills most small game as it is.

I am not sure about their thinking on the birdshot, may be they think it will richochet more. You may want to call and see what they say.

1st pic is usery mountain range and 2nd pic was ontop of a mountain/hill whatever you call em in Prescott down the road from where
the AZ Arfcommers have their shoots. Walked up the steepest side, get to the top and see a 30x easier route up
