If you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at target shooting in a fun, safe environment, there’s no better place than under the Sonoran Desert’s sunny blue skies.

Your Scottsdale target-shooting adventure starts with a scenic ride to a dedicated shooting range. Once there, you’ll receive an in-depth firearms safety briefing and then learn basic gun-handling and shooting skills from NRA-certified instructors. Next up, live-fire exercises using paper targets so you can see just how good your aim is. Firearms, ammunition and safety equipment is provided, so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure!

Before you head out, take a glance at our Target Shooting 101 Tips and get a preview of the Sonoran Desert plants and animals could see on your way to the range.
