My dear friend asked me to go shooting we knew that there was a gun range in Catalina. Had no idea where it was but now we know this gun range you would go east on wilds and follow the map from there just a short ways. I felt all the employees were extremely accommodating, I had never been there before. I didn't know the rules but now I do and I will be back. I hadn't shot for 10 years and my trigger finger isn't as strong as it used to be. I think I will get a another gun that has a more gentle trigger. I also shot the judge which is a lot bigger gun and I didn't have any problem with it. It was that small 380 purse size that I wasn't able to pull the trigger double action. So that is my adventure of the day I am sure I will be back. I love this kind of exciting outdoor adventures

I am from out of town and decided to join this PPC as opposed to being a walk-in daily pay. The price is well worth it. These are some phenomenal ranges, at least a dozen that are available to members. The professionals that work there are just that, professionals. They are very pleasant and helpful. Since being a member, I've gotten to know some of them and they take safety first, obviously! I wish I had a place like this in Illinois! Highly recommended.

Did my homework by checking yelp and their own website about rules and regulations. What's acceptable and what's not. No where does it say no shotguns. I wanted to shoot my new tactical shotgun and was very excited to line it up and test fire it. Never use a weapon you haven't tested yourself lol. I drove all the way out there and went to the check in and was informed that they do not allow shotguns because it tears up their target stands. First, their target stands are a small metal base that holds 1 x 1s with a thin sheet of plywood or cardboard. While I was talking with the guy people are shooting high power rifles and hand guns. One bullet from any of those guns would take down a 1x1. I hate when first you don't specify what you can shoot there and then you give me a very weak excuse why you don't want me to shoot there. Second, the road coming in will tear your car up more than me tearing up your stand and on top of that you are charging 20 dollars a head to simply shoot. Ok. Good logic. How about posting it on your website genius

For a first time experience with handgun instruction and actual shooting for my sons this was a great and safe experience. Clean range, well signed and knowledgeable staff. Thank you

this was my first time shooting guns, but it was SO MUCH FUN!!! the guy that ran the range the day we were there happened to be from NJ, so we chatted about where we lived, Wawa, and other Jersey things. He was super nice and walked us through the rules and even told me not to be nervous, that noone would laugh at me for being a beginner.The actual range is well kept and clean, lots of seating and places to put your giant bags of gun paraphernalia. We brought these awesome zombie targets (hey, you need to be prepared!), and had everyone at the range asking where we got them and saying they loved them!Only downfall was a group of macho dudes who refused to stop shooting so that we could clear the range and go get our last target to leave. they were too busy readjusting their scopes every two seconds to notice us standing there patiently waiting for the range to go cold. but, that has nothing to do with the actual range itself, just the douchebags that you can find anywhere.and it turned out i was a natural :) headshots on the zombie target from 100 yards with a .22 pistol and rifle, and a .40 pistol! i can't want to go back and kill some more brain-munchers :P

Beautiful outdoor setting. Safety was highly emphasized. A little bit off of the beaten path, but certainly worth the drive

I'm an (very), old NRA guy. First time at the Pima range. Fellow in office was pleasant easy to talk with. He explained the costs, etc.Went down to pistol range. Only one guy there and he was most helpful in setting up and getting going.After firing my pistol, I took a rim fire long gun to the rifle range. There was one fellow keeping an eye on things. Very, very military in authority. Guess he just didn't understand that you don't talk to civilians the same as a drill sergeant talking to cadets. And that paying customers, especially new people, EXPECT some friendly help, not just policing. Civilians resent that kind of behavior and might push back. I didn't see that attitude towards the old timers there. Yet, I understand where he is coming from. It's hard to change years of military atmosphere to a civilian environment. Yes, safety is first, but it can be done better in a helpful friendly environment, appropriate to a general public setting. That's just good business. In this day and age, service is paramount. And it must be done in a way that will bring people back.The NRA needs to know the results of the grants invested in ranges like Pima. They want new shooters to be warmly welcomed, creating an attractive atmosphere, pulling back repeat customers. That is the only way the club will grow, creating a new crop of shooters, supporting the NRA. That is it is all about. Gaining support, educating people, in a safe and socially comfortable attractive environment, not just punching holes in paper. Does Pima needs some readjustment of it's sights???If my wife and I were to become members, it would only be after Pima leadership at least seriously addresses how things could be improved, making new customers feel more welcomed. Continuous improvement!!!!!!Eugene

The range itself is not bad, but had I known how much members are put on the back burner in terms of member range availability I never would have purchased a membership. The main days that I was able to go were Saturdays and almost every Saturday the range gave priority to competitions so I found myself using the general ranges, completely voiding any member benefits.

I have been a member of Pima Pistol Club for about 3 years. My visits to the range and interactions with the Range Officers have in the past been productive and professional. That all changed on May 7 when I visited the range with a friend for target practice. When we checked in I was asked what we were going to shoot. I replied that we were planing to shoot AR's and Pistols. We were told to use the range behind the check in building. We parked and began to set up. I was loading a clip for my Ruger 57 when the Range Officer came over and told me I could not shoot the pistol here. I asked why and he replied that this was a rifle range and no pistols allowed. I stated that the rules must have changed because I have shot pistols here in the past but I would comply. he seemed very angry and stormed away. My friend and I put our pistols away in the cases and began setting up to shoot our AR's. The target stands were beside the tables and we were taping up targets when the Range Officer ran over and dragged the target stand out into the dirt and shouted at us that we could not set up targets next to the tables. He was very angry at us. I then loaded up my AR and set it on the table with the muzzle clearly pointed down range. The Range Officer ran over toward me with a pistol shoved half way down the front of his pants (NOT HOLSTERED), grabbed my AR, Striped out the magazine, unloaded the live round and the slammed it in my case while shouting at me I TOLD YOU TO HAVE THE MUZZLE POINTED DOWN RANGE (IT WAS). He then told me and my friend to leave. I checked out, tossed my range ID on the counter and told him that I would never come back.I am 78 years old and been around guns my whole life, in the military and as a Federal Agent. I have never seen such disrespect and conduct. Although we never fired a shot, they refused to return my friends $20.00. What right does he have to grab my equipment anyway.A week and a half later I received a letter from the president of the board of directors stating that they have reviewed the incident and suspending me for a year. They never contacted me for my side of the story.Both my wife, who is a member, and I will never return to Pima Pistol Club.Stephen T

Terrible! Way overpriced. They treat you like a child and require you to watch safety videos and buy range flags regardless of your experience level. You can't draw from the holster even if you are military or law enforcement. Also they don't allow any service dogs period on-site even though mine has been to just about every gun range in Southern Arizona. They even said I can't keep him in my car with the AC on. A business can't legally refuse business to a service dog unless the dog has behavioral issues which he doesn't. I left California to get away from this Mickey Mouse BS.
