Whether you're experienced or just getting started, it's a great place to practice and spend some time at the range. Definitely a 5-star experience!

We came here for some afternoon target practice and it was a gorgeous day. Plenty of parking, clean restrooms, a water refill station and fountain. There was a store on site and a chilli dog truck nearby too. After checking in, we went to our assigned lane which was clean! Apparently this range also offers archery and clay targets, so lots of options! They have multiple gun ranges too! Looking forward to coming back here.

"See that painted rock on that hill? Hit it."-instructor…read more My favorite quote from my 5 day experience here. Mind you the painted rock was 1600 yards (4800 feet) away. For amateurs like me it took about half a dozen times, but I hit it. I still have found memories of this place and would one day love to come back. Its probably been 5 years now since I attended, but GPS Defense Sniper School was worth every penny. GPS is located in the same complex as Cowtown. Don't know anything about long distance shooting? Don't have a rifle? Don't have ammo? GPS Defense can teach you and provide the rest. This can be a little pricey, but you will become a better shooter guaranteed and get to meet a group of talented people different backgrounds. Go you won't regret it!

I enjoyed that day so much, I signed up for Rock Mountain Defense CCW class. Then I had fun trying to do the Navy Seal Rifle qualification course. It will make you appreciate the skill level of our talented military, police officers and first responders. They also offered a free AR cleaning class at Sportsmans Warehouse. I care a lot about a persons background and history when I am paying for a class. Jon, being a retired Phoenix Police Officer, has practical insight​ on defense with a rifle. He is an NRA instructor as well. I felt very comfortable learning from both him and his wife. I encourage new shooters to take their courses. You won't be disappointed.

John was very thorough and he drilled in the basic tenets of firearm safety. They also learned the ins and outs of range safety and most importantly, how to handle and discharge a handgun. The range work was awesome, as they had the opportunity to fire off between 60-100 rounds each (9mm) and became familiar with sidearm handling characteristics, such as grip, weight, balance, and recoil. They entered with absolutely no knowledge of firearms and left with the confidence that if needed, they could load, handle and discharge a handgun safely and with purpose.

If you are looking for something that truly strengthens communication, builds confidence, is…read moreengaging, fun and brings people together, I cannot recommend AZ Tactical enough especially with Michael as the instructor. From the moment we started, Michael was clear, direct, and incredibly helpful. He explained everything in a way that made it easy to understand, whether you're brand new or more experienced. What stood out most was how encouraging and honest he was. His feedback wasn't just generic praise it was specific, constructive, and genuinely designed to help us improve. And when we did improve, he was just as excited as we were. That kind of energy makes all the difference. This experience goes far beyond the activity itself. It forces you to communicate clearly, trust one another, and stay calm under pressure. For families, it's powerful. For marriages, it's eye-opening in the best way you quickly see how you handle stress and how important strong communication really is. And for teams? It's invaluable. It highlights leadership, listening skills, problem-solving, and collaboration in real time. Honestly, I don't know why more companies aren't doing this regularly. It's one of the most practical and engaging team building experiences we've ever done. Whether your group is small or large, this is something every team can benefit from. Strongly, strongly recommend AZ Tactical and if you can request Michael as your instructor, do it. You won't regret it!

They have different difficulty level courses but we stayed with the beginners. Someone met us at the first one to show us the ropes. Then we were on our own to have fun. That 50 clay targets went pretty quickly though. Looking forward to going back.

Gunsmith's name is "Steve". What a nice man! Add to it being a very competent & efficient gunsmith…read more I brought him my Taurus Tracker and the specific platform necessary for the installation of a new ADE RD3‑019 (RMR green dot scope.) After consulting with my ChatGP "buddy\advisor" specific screws were crucial to successful install. I purchased them separately from Amazon. Steve didn't like the head tapering. He asked permission to use his own screws. Upon my affirmation, he proceeded to his belt sander to make custom length modifications on his own screws. He treated my Tracker like a surgeon with his scalpels being a host different punches, screwdrivers, and Allen wrenches. He was intriguing to watch! Not only did he calibrate my scope perfectly, I asked him if he could take a quick look at my 9mm semi with a green dot laser to check its alignment. "No problem". Done in a jiffy. I can't recommend Steve more highly!

From the moment we hopped on the ATVs to the full-on machine gun experience, it felt like we were dropped straight into a real-life video game--except way more fun and way louder. Rick made everything exciting, and safe. He knew his stuff, kept the energy high, and made sure we all felt like total pros out there (even if we definitely were not.) Between the rocky ride and the adrenaline rush of shooting, this was hands-down one of the coolest things we've ever done. If you're even thinking about booking--DO IT. 10/10 would absolutely go back and pretend we're in Call of Duty again.
