Range Shooting (4 hours) - David Wittmayer has invited you to join him at his outdoor shooting range in Dewey. The outdoor range is about 20 miles away from Camp Verde. It is outdoors so; weather could be a factor. Mostly will be shooting pistols but can go back to 100 yards for rifles or shoot rifles at close range. The range is wide enough to handle 10 people in a line. If any experienced shooters want to help by being range safety officers, it would be appreciated.
Participants will need to bring: A weapon to shoot, ammunition, ear protection, and suitable clothing.
If weather is not permitting, participants can plan to go to the indoor range. Copper Star Shooting Range http://copperstarisr.com/
Cost is $20.00 per hour, per person on a first come first serve basis. Hours will be 1:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. Its indoors, it is temperature controlled, a person is shooting down a lane at a target. They have guns to rent and sell ammunition at additional costs. If a rental gun is used, then their ammunition needs to be purchased. If you need to rent a 9MM pistol, 50 rounds of ammo, ear protection and a target the rate is $67.50 per hour.
The range rules are simple: Always keep your weapon pointed in a safe direction. No drinking, drug use, or impairment of any kind. Have fun. If the rules are violated, you will be asked to leave the range. Safety is the first concern.
