Anyone from Tuscon, AZ? - The Firearms Forum

LDBennett · 08-13-2006, 09:50 AM

I am contemplating a week long trip to Tuscon, AZ around the first week of October.

Can anyone recommend a pistol range and/or rifle range there that is nice? Indoor or outdoor, both pistol and rifle or just one or the other but must be open mid week. One of each is OK too.

The reason for the trip is to go to the vintage camera show being held that weekend and visit with friends.

Are there any "must see" places or gun shops there?

When I lived in AZ, anywhere off the hi-way was a shooting range. I think everyone in AZ shoots.
