Haven't seen this posted on here yet. The SE Regional Shooting Park skeet range in Tucson is now open. Can't wait to try it out!

What are the hours out there I need to sight my gun in and nobody ever awensers the phone.

Good to hear -- sure a long time coming to fruition.

The new trap and skeet range is a first class setup.

 

Right now it's open Saturdays and Sundays only, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. A round of 25 targets costs $8. You can save a little money by buying a bunch of rounds. Clay birds are provided, but you must bring your own shells.

 

If we want to keep this range operating, we'll need to use it. Most of the staff is volunteer, but they do have operating costs (targets, etc.) If it doesn't support itself, the county will close it. If they get enough usage, they'll expand the number of hours and days it's open.

 

What I'd really like to see is lights for night shooting. But in the meantime, it's a great place to stop over after you've sighted in your rifle for deer season or whatever. It's located directly across from the rifle/pistol range.

 

I'm really enjoying the skeet range. If it's ever discovered that gambels quail aren't extinct after all, I'm expecting my success rate will greatly benefit from the skeet practice I'm getting. I was out there both Saturday and Sunday.
