Hear you on too hot. This is mummification weather. Hope you get the monsoon blessing soon, Steve.


There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

Is this range open when the rest of BLM/NF is closed due to high fire danger?


I ran into a BLM guy out there in the spring. He was doing a downrange vegetation study. And yes, they are closed due to the possibility of a fire. I'm thinking they'll re-open as soon as the monsoon rains dump a couple.

I have not even gone out to check. It's too damn hot to shoot at 118 degree's. Even the mornings are uncomfortable.


I am back in CO; shooting several times per day but I am returning for about 10 days Aug 1.

Like you Steve, I ride bicycles. I was getting up at 4:30 am to ride but even then it was 90 deg. But that beats hiking in the South Mountain preserve in the dark.

I still shoot in the desert but this sounds like a great spot. These days I spend most of my time at my CO place where I can shoot right out my back door past 1000 yards.

I don't understand why anyone in Phoenix would drive 45 minutes out to the desert to shoot pistols at 25 yards when there are three great ranges in the metro area: Phoenix Rod and Gun along South Mountain, Usery Pass, and Ben Avery.

PHX Rod and Gun is like $100/year for unlimited us; can only shoot to 500 yards, but for anything closer, it works. Usery was 300 yards last time I shot there.


I just joined Cowtown shooting range. They have a very, very nice open desert, steel PRS range. 5 platforms having 90 plates at ranges from 200-1000 yards. Its a membership only range and is run the way a shooter would run it.
