Shooting targets

Had an amazing morning doing the guided tour. Easy to locate overall but did have to travel a little bit down the dirt road to park. Every single staff member seemed like they genuinely loved their job. The tour guide on the UTV tour shared facts about the desert. Really great experience, I'll be back.

Alex was great! He was a fun tour guide and very helpful for my friend's bachelorette party. We rode an UTV and ATV. They were both fun to ride. The trails were a lot of fun and cool sights to see. He showed us different plants and cool views.

1/2 point lookout!

Landon and Kyle were incredible guides and we had a blast!!! We did guided on the front side and unguided on the way back. So much fun!!!

We had a great time on our guided UTV tour this past Labor Day weekend. There are several different guides; ours was Sam. The tour itself was on very rough and bumpy terrain. The UTVs seem way safer than ATVs, so i felt mostly safe. The route is awesome with plenty of opportunities to take pictures and record your experience. It is AWFULLY hot in AZ so if you cannot stand prolonged exposure to extreme heat, then I would reconsider and book this tour in the fall/winter. PRO TIP: BRING A TOWEL TO SIT ON. THE UTV seat was VERY hot and challenging to sit on with no barrier. They do offer free water battles throughout the course which is nice.

From the instructions, to the hills and turns. What an awesome experience. What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday

Matt was the freaking best. Would recommend him as your guide 100%. Friendly, informative, funny, and really great hangs. He also knows a ton about the wildlife in the area so was fun to ask him questions!

Had a 10/10 experience with our guy, Austin! Customer service was amazing from beginning to end - we were well taken care of. Check in process was seamless as we ordered, paid and signed a waiver ahead of time. My party of 6 went on a guided UTV tour and we booked two UTV's for it. Total was about $130 each. Our stay there took around 3 hours, so make sure to plan accordingly. Austin lead us through the beautiful desert of AZ. We passed a river, saw some wild cows and rode through a beaaaautiful canyon. Took 3 pit stops to take some pics, switch drivers and Austin offered us water. The ride IS BUMPY as you can imagine, but well worth it. If you're inexperienced I highly suggest you do the guided tour.

What a great time! We originally signed up for the ATV centipede tour not realizing that it wasn't exactly beginner friendly. For no extra charge, we were offered to join the UTV guided tour, instead, as first timers. We live in the area and figured we could come back and try the ATVs once we saw the difficulty of the trails. Holland was an impeccable tour guide!! She had amazing energy and was also a very enthusiastic photographer (See pics :) ) Needless to say we'll be back to try the ATVs after how much we enjoyed the UTVs :)

Super fun! We did the UTV guided tour. Great views, including a history lesson of the land, plant and animal life. Totally worth it! Our guide Jake was awesome!

Our guide, Sami, pointing out some areas of interest.

WARNING: YELP MAY GIVE YOU THE WRONG ADDRESS. I would recommend calling this place for more…read morespecific directions, as the area is under construction, and when I used Yelp's "directions" feature it sent me somewhere 15 minutes away. We absolutely loved this place! My girlfriend and I were visiting Sedona with my father and his wife who are considering moving here, and they asked what I wanted to do. Seeing as I am from a small town in Northern (like, WAY northern) California, it is relatively difficult to rent or buy a gun, or even to find a shooting range. I told him I thought we should go shooting, so I looked this place up, and saw that it had noteworthy reviews. They provide a package that costs about $80 and includes everything a beginner needs: gun rentals, ear/eye protection rentals, ammunition, a characteristic; fun; patient; and knowledgeable older instructor who is convinced he can convince anyone that they can and will shoot today (hey, it worked on my step-mom), etc. On top of that, to the surprise of a Californian, you can actually rent and shoot fully-automatic rifles the same day you walk in their door. I got to hold an M4 and an AK. The rental process was very smooth, the gentlemen working there were courteous and knew their stuff, and our overall experience was very positive. My dad (who was not a huge supporter of guns beforehand) was raving about it on our way home. He said he'll likely go back there for a few more lessons. I would highly recommend this place for beginner, intermediate, and advanced shooters alike.

I found Copper Star back in 2021, when I moved from California. It was one of the first places I…read moresought in order to obtain instruction and firearm knowledge. I took their CCW class in October 2021 and have been a regular since then. Staff is knowledgeable and efficient. There is a rifle range and pistol range, as well as archery. The pistol range has six separate lanes and area for loading and personal storage. Clean and temp controlled, although not everyone cleans their brass after a session, so be sure to ensure your lane is clean before firing. I've purchased firearms through them and staff is competent and thorough. They offer hourly lane and firearm rentals as well as 6-month and annual memberships, which I highly recommend. The facility is perched up on a hill over looking the Verde Valley, located by the Yavapai Sheriff station/jail and Out of Africa. I do wish they had a larger selection of pistols for "try-out", and for sale. However, they can order anything for the customer. Highly recommend if you're visiting and want something fun to try..or if you're a local and want to brush-up, or maintain your skills!

I recently finished a 3 day class at Gunsite for small pistols which are what most people carry on…read morea daily basis. These are pistols with less than a 4" barrel. We started on Friday and finished on Sunday firing 1000 rounds while developing skills shooting targets from 3 yards up to 140 yards. I never thought I could shoot such a small pistol that far and be accurate but I did. Our course also included outdoor and indoor (playhouse) simulators with our instructor requiring us to use only one hand to shoot and also one eye by putting tape over our non dominant eye. Other training included shooting from and around vehicles. Gunsite training is for real world situations and consists of the highest standards. No wonder why it is the oldest and largest firearm school in the US. The facilities here are world class along with the instructors. This class was led by Jim Owens and he was excellent as a teacher and safety was paramount. I always enjoy coming to Gunsite and consider it to be without equal. Yes, it's pricey but you get what you pay for.

I cannot express how much i enjoyed my class here at Gunsite. I attended the veterans 250 pistol…read morecourse and it was an amazing week. The instructors were enthusiastic, encouraging, and extremely knowledgable. The facilities are amazing, well thought out, and very clean. Seriously, every bathroom was absolutely spotless. I would have to say that my favorite part about the course was that it was all action. We did not spend countless hours in a classroom learning theory by powerpoint presentation. Everything we learned we learned by doing on the ranges. If you have ever considered taking a course here you need to pull the trigger (see what i did there?) Because you will not regret it.

This is where my instructor journey began…read more I initially signed up for an RSO class, but PJ encouraged me to pursue instructor level-certification, so I added CRSO. That was the beginning of some crazy "stuff." I have to add that I didn't consider it a sly sales tactic, since he said "pay when you can," and debt collection can be a PIA! I've since acquired my NRA BOPS rating with CTS' as well, so PJ is one of my NRA Training Counselors (I had to get USCCA & BORS elsewhere due to scheduling). I feel comfortable reaching out to him first if I have questions. The CRSO class was a fun bunch -We all looked like we didn't belong in the same room together, and I still wonder what those folks are up to today. This was the first of two times that "moving forward," despite my initial reservations walking into thar classroom (in 2A community) didn't bite me in the butt. This class is kinda' what I think "2A community," should look and feel like. The politics of participants can present themselves in others, but in my experience, it didn't get too out of hand: There are probably some things I wouldn't allow students to say because if you've ever been mocked or excluded, don't want any of your students feeling that way. It's also not obvious who is identifying as, or navigating what, and I just need to acknowledge their experience and teach correct firearms instruction. I, even, shared something in class that probably should have been given better context, knowing what I know, and would definitely benefit from better framing as an instructor (if you ask me, I'll tell you what I shared and how/why I would say it differently/better next time). But I also should have given it better context as a student, as well, or said nothing at all. To be fair, I didn't mention this on my class feedback form. It can be a difficult thing to understand and articulate in the moment. Cathy & PJ of CTS' remind me of a time, maybe late 80's or 90's, when things were screwed, but we could still disagree and take care of each other. I'm middle-aged but old enough to remember that. This is all important to mention because it speaks to matters of safety and inclusion that matter to people and become obstacles to training. It helps folks "trust" and "feel safe." All in all, they are good folk, humble folks, and knowledgeable firearms instructors with a weird and diverse roster. I really enjoy/ed training with them and their cast of new and return characters. **Photo is me after a volunteer RSO shift at the range. Having my NRA CRSO rating got me a response when other requests were not answered.

I took the CTS ARMS CCW CLASS it was so informative and was a great amount information I didn't…read moreknow as a gun owner. I would totally take any classes they offer. I have also purchased a gun through CTS. PJ is awesome and easy to work with the prices are great and I will continue to give him my business! Dale Hipes
