• Places to Shoot

    Originally created in July of 2015, this map quickly became one of the most used resources of the firearms community in Arizona. The map is easy to read. Red stars are shooting ranges and red pins are open land areas. You can click on each star / pin to pull up more information on that particular spot. Indian Reservations are the dark gray / black areas and are off limits to target shooting.

    This map is available for any shooter to use. We just ask a few things in return. Please pick up your trash when you're done shooting. This includes targets, brass, shotgun shells, trash, food/drink packaging, etc. Much of our land has been trashed by irresponsible people and we would like to see that pattern reversed. Lets work to keep our land nice and clean so future generations can enjoy it!

    Even if you do not reload please still pick up your brass. There are many reloaders on our website who will be more than happy to take your used brass off your hands. Most might even be willing to pay you a bit of money for it. Scrap metal yards will also buy your used brass.


    If you have any additions you would like see added to this map or if you have updated information please e-mail members@azgunbuy.com. If you share this map with others, please share the link to it on this site and do not duplicate / copy the data. Thank you!

    We try our hardest to keep this map up to date with accurate information. Every shooters should double check to verify that the area they want to use is in fact open for public use. We are no responsible for any errors contained within this map.

      Map has been updated to include Indian Reservation land that is off limits to target shooting. These areas are marked in dark gray / black.

      I'm a bit of a newb, never gone shooting on open land and want to try it out. I'm thinking of trying the miller road location, but how do I find it once I'm on Miller road Never been out there before. Any help would be appreciated!

      Make sure you pick up and take out everything you bring to shoot. People have zero respect or regard for the desert and use it as a dump. I wont be surprised when it become illegal to target shoot anywhere except for ranges since people are so selfish and pathetic that they use shooting areas as a dump.

      Leave areas cleaner than you found them. Lets keep public lands open to the public. In the last few weeks I've hauled out a TV, lots of trash, and a complete nativity scene left out at my regular spot on public land, sad that people will trash these areas.

      I only know of one shooting site off Price Rd (there may be more), but it's about 1/4 to 1/2 mile off of Hwy 79 on the right (south) side of the road. It's a small hill that's unregulated and fairly messy. It feels like no one has picked up empty rounds for years. There isn't any specific targeting system, just a rocky hill. I've only been a few times and found that typically there are few to no people shooting, but I've also left other times as there were too many people shooting for my taste.

      Shooter's Hill:
      33.841537,-112.332301
      This is a place thats been around a while, but not accurately marked on this Map.
      Just West of Lake Pleasant, just north of the Carefree Highway. After Mile Marker 18, take Christian Church Camp Rd. 2wd accessible.

      UPDATE: This site is closed until approx August 2021 for the construction of a permanent open-to-the-public shooting range!

      Carefree Hwy Marker 14:
      33.830623,-112.395891
      There are a lot of off-roaders that set up shop nearby, but past all of that and the power lines there is a large hill to shoot against. The trails go for miles, with many pull-offs. 2wd accessible.
