Bringing the folks down to Scottsdale in May to meet the in-laws.  Planning a trip up to Sedona and Jerome for the weekend of the 7th and 8th.  Other than Dillon, the Scottsdale gun club and Ben Avery Range, what else should I get him to while the womens is shoping?

TIA

Maybe try going to Cabelas or Bass Pro just to see all of the animals? IMHO, Cabelas is better than Bass Pro.

I think the Dillon retail store is only open 'till noon or one o'clock on Saturdays.  Not at all on Sundays.

USAutoweapons is literally next door to Scottsdale Gun Club.  Can't miss it, and its worth a half hour or so. Both are open Sundays––9 a.m. For SGC and 11 a.m.for USA.

Thanks, yes Bass Pro and Cabelas.  The one has a really good restaurant with it, Bass Pro I believe.  We will be there from the 5th through the 9th so we shouldn't have issues with the shop hours and weekend crowds.

For the Sedona and Jerome trip it looks like we are going to stay at the Grand Hotel in Jerome.  Wife likes to "ghost hunt".

In the past at least, you could call Dillon ahead of time, and get a tour of their commercial shop.

FIL has a friend who's son works there.  Worse case we should be able to make something happen.

depends on age/shape but hieroglyph canyon in the superstitions is pretty sweet (though it's actually petroglyphs, but whatever), about a mile and a half hike each way.... just past AJ going east on the 60.

if you take a trip down to Tucson the Titan Missile Museum is cool... and I have heard that the Pima Air and Space Museum is cool too...

You could always drive right past Ben Avery and just shoot in the desert, no range safeties, its not busy, no bullshit.

If the grand hotel is the hotel that sits above the spirit room bar that is a really neat place.

Dad shoots highpower so when I final move and get them to move, we'll be shooting there.  The open desert will be good too for other times.

Yes, the same grand hotel with the spirit bar.
