WARNING: YELP MAY GIVE YOU THE WRONG ADDRESS. I would recommend calling this place for more specific 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. read more

Copper Star Indoor Shooting Range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Camp Verde, Arizona

I found Copper Star back in 2021, when I moved from California. It was one of the first places I sought 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! read more

Total hidden gem, awesome range. The indoor rifle range was very cool to experience, and helped me zero in my rifle. The target holders are very nice, and automated, helped get the perfect distance every time. The staff were friendly and helpful, and were very knowledgeable. The place was clean, and well kept. I'm honestly surprised this place isn't more popular, especially with how long the rifle range is. Definitely will be going back read more

Very clean, organized and the staff was very helpful getting me set up on my first time there. It's great that they have a rifle range so I could shoot my 30.06. read more

I have had two memberships and would recommend Copper Star for a shooting range. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have received training and instructions from there and have also purchased firearms also. read more

We stopped by this indoor gun range on our way back from our family trip to Sedona. We were all newbies - half of us had never shot a gun before - but Ronnie was super knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Ronnie was also right - when comparing final targets, my wife kicked my ass! For those on the way to/from Sedona, I highly recommend stopping here for an hour or two. read more

Not the worst range Ive been to, but staff was unknowledgeable, rental firearms were poor quality and not sighted in, prices were terrible.

Be wary if you want to shoot both a pistol and a rifle. We were informed after we shot in both the pistol and rifle range, that each range has it's own charge. We were charged for an hour in the rifle range which we used, but also we were charged for an hour in the pistol range, after only shooting in the pistol range for 2 minutes. Then we're informed that after coming there atleast 20 times, that they have a membership program which would have saved us hundreds. Can't wait till this fire ban is over. Edit since first review: I went in today, and they didn't have enough range slots for us, that's fine. We then asked if we could reserve a spot, since we're locals and have spent literally thousands of dollars there. Then we were informed that you "have to be a member" to reserve slots. I'm done spending my money at this range and also sending friends and family here. read more

So grateful we found Copper Star Indoor Shooting Range while on a Valentine's weekend trip in Sedona. The facility was clean and well organized from the lanes to the bathroom. My partner shot rifle and we were glad that there was a 100yd lane options for him, whereas I shot pistol and there were separate lanes. Whereas we aren't into archery (just yet) we were able to tour the archery lanes as well and preview their rentals. The staff were beyond friendly and knowledgeable- answering all of our questions on their in stock pew options. As a safe-shooting advocate, I can attest that they ensured proper eyes and ears as well as checked ammo. They also have D-lead soap in the bathrooms which supports in removing lead from skin after shooting at indoor ranges. The staff of Copper Star were present and ensured we got setup on our respective lanes. We were able to meet the owner Ms LouAnn and a few regulars as well. We'll definitely be back, in spite of our living in the Valley (over 100 miles away). Many thanks for the impeccable customer service and kindness. read more

I did a CCW class and with the class, fingerprinting was included to get a concealed weapons permit. Wonderful! But I had to return because DPS could not use the prints as they were not clear. I have had a stroke, so my fine motor skills in one of my hands are diminished (totally frustrating for me for sure). As with most stroke survivors, sometimes there is residual spasticity, which means a muscle might flinch or spasm, even sometimes very slightly. Well, when I went back to get my fingerprint cards redone, it was mostly fine, until my stroke hand decided it wanted to have a little spasm while doing the prints, yes, still very frustrating for me and I already feel pathetic sometimes, but there was absolutely no reason for the guy to raise his voice at me, "why did you move, why did you do that?" Really dude, you think I wanted to do that, that I intended to do it? I get that you hate doing fingerprinting, as you stated, but for real, way to be soo professional! You didn't need to be an a**hole about it and you should try a little more compassion and patience. And if you didn't want to do it, refund some of the money I paid for the class, so I can go pay 40-some dollars for a real professional to do it. read more

This range is the coolest indoor range I've ever been to! They have the latest range tech on the market (their words, not mine) and it makes range time even MORE fun! You can program your target for distance and for training (moving target). Additionally, they have range ammo, that's insanely cheap, for purchase with range time! My whole experience at this range made the 1.5 hour drive from Phoenix (twice in two days) more than worth it. The staff there is great! The guys are really nice and easy to talk to (even if you don't know a ton about guns). I went with my fiancee and a couple of his friends, and I shopped when they got talking about the really nerdy gun stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like range time but when they get started with topics that are beyond my realm of knowledge/interest I keep myself occupied. It doesn't hurt that they have cool merchandise. I've read complaints about the staff and can only suggest educating yourself with the basics prior to walking in to any shop or range. Check out videos on YouTube regarding firearm safety and handling. There is NEVER shame in knowledge. These (and most) gun shop/range peeps love their guns and are more than willing to help. If you are genuinely interested in learning about the culture and self defense, then their time will be useful and not wasted. *I'm not speaking for them, I'm just expressing my perspective on the matter.* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=katoko733iw read more

What a great place for a first timer/women! I came in with my family a little nervous because I had only shot a gun once. Richard, was very helpful in picking the right guns and arranging a coach with us in the range. Our coach walked us step by step from loading a magazine, aiming and firing accurately. He stayed close to watch and answer any questions we had. Aside from the great service and friendly shooters in the other lanes, the prices are incredibly CHEAP! Their hourly rates allow more chances to experience their wide selection of guns. My first experience shooting a gun in Los Angeles, I spent nearly $120 for one person while at this facility we spent $100 for three people plus a small coaching fee! I highly recommend coming here if you love great service, low prices, and an air conditioned shooting range. Can't wait to go back! read more

Copper Star Indoor Shooting Range - WWII Automatic Gun shot by the British Army - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Camp Verde, Arizona

After working at an indoor range for a good while, I can say that this puts my old workplace to shame. Well run, well staffed, and well stocked. Their firearm prices are reflective of local market prices. They carry TOPS knives in store that I've never even seen let alone held. They also have a beautiful archery range with rental equipment to boot! They accommodated my family and myself exhibiting the best customer service experience I have had at a range, to date. My first time in guaranteed that I would return in the future. I'd drive from the valley just to zero here. No question. read more

I won't lie, I kind of came in a bad mood with an attitude. But the man behind the counter really made me feel better. I had a bad day, and they were about to close. And I was kind of disappointed. But he still let me go shoot, he gave me a bunch of information about taking concealed weapons class is it made me feel right at home. He even convinced me to come back with my fiancé, to sign her up for the concealed courses and we did. My biggest thing is how friendly to stop is, even if you don't know much about guns. read more

This place is amazing right when you walk in you feel welcome not like other places I've been too I'm not an expert in guns but I know some things. The guy who helped us out was really friendly and explained everything we needed to know. Definitely the place to come and learn how to shoot a gun properly. The best thing ever was miss lovely Abigail the most adorable puppy ever very welcoming and so soft. read more

What a great experience! Went here on a whim. Had not shot a hand gun in many years and my wife had never. Ronnie, our instructor, was great.

Made some new friends at the Copper Star gun range this week. I told the guys there, Lee and Morgan that I've only had limited experience with guns and my wife had never handled or fired one. They spent over an hour talking to us about the various options, historical significance and the progression of firearm design over the years as well as life in the verde valley which is an area I can't wait to return to. They truly enjoyed teaching us about something they're passionate about and we learned a lot and had a great experience. I would recommend a visit to the copper star indoor gun range to anyone and will be sure to return. read more

Love this place. Friendly staff, clean facilities, good amount of space. Cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a range! It's the details Love the pistol range target system. It's great that you can program different courses for your targets. Limited number of rentals but super affordable and a pleasant place to shoot. Thanks again for everything guys! Y'all were awesome and make me want to come out more often. read more

Great place, friendly knowledgeable staff. Our instructor, Richard, helped my son have a great first-time rifle shooting experience. Highly recommend this place. Modern, clean, professional. Exactly what we've been looking for. read more

My family is into archery, so when we visited Cottonwood we noticed this place on our drive in. We spend a few hours one day on the archery range which was clean, well kept and quite nice. My son shoots a recurve and enjoyed the 50-60 ft. length of the course. And prices were reasonable. The next day we came back for a few more hours, this time just to shoot some guns. Richard gave our son step-by-step safety instructions because it was his first time and went over all the details of each firearm (he shot a total of 5 different firearms that day, including a cool machine gun). He had a blast! All the staff was personable, the place was clean and well-kept. This range was built by and is currently owned and operated by a local Cornville military veteran family and we're proud to support their local business. We completely enjoyed our time at Copper Star and look forward to stopping by on our next visit. read more

Really great place to stop by! There's a well stocked store with guns and accessories for those in search of a new toy. The staff came across as very friendly during my visit. They have a clean, beautiful and high tech indoor shooting range with electronic touch screen controls which control the distance of your target and target illumination. ... The likes of which I've never seen! And for the novice or for those who simply want to try something they don't already own, there's a slew of nice pistols and rifles to choose from for rental. The biggest gem in the arsenal for rental their fully automatic ak style machine gun! Which happens to be the same exact gun used by Patrick Swayze in the 1980s film, Red Dawn! All in all, an amazing time. read more

The pistol range is top-notch and the ammo and target prices are very reasonable. You can buy name brand rounds at a good price (~ the same as Wal Mart) or hand loads they reload themselves even cheaper. I'll be renting one of their AKs this weekend to spray some full-auto! read more

Me and my boyfriend visiting from NY were looking for a shooting range and we found Cooper and decided to give them a try. Customer service was incredible and we had a blast. A lil pricy but I say it's definitely worth it. For the two of us doing 3 rounds with different guns ranged to about $200 but like I said it was worth it. Instructor Morgan was knowledgeable and helpful even on his first day. KEEP IT UP BUDDY. Definitely recommend this place. We're coming back next year 2019. read more

We went to this range yesterday (2 families of 3). We rented two lanes, and we were charged $45 per hour. Mind you, they still rented out all the other lanes beside us. My experiences at other ranges has been $30 for first shooter and $10 for each additional shooter on the same lane. That fee is for however long you take, not like this range's hourly charge. I guess we should have asked for 6 lanes and we could have gotten out of there in an hour. It cost us $212 for two hours of shooting ( 2 lanes, 4 targets x $1.50, 2 rented sets of eyes and ears x $1, and 1 $5 bottle of lube). I guess I'm upset because they never explained to us it's an hourly charge. I tried to pay up front before we went in to shoot, but he said we pay after, which is typical. On our way into the firing line, the staff member(extremely nice), explained if we hit the metal target carrier, its $25 per shot that hits it. Not sure if he was just trying to scare us or if he was serious. Either way, really was taking the fun out of bring our daughters and wives along. Overall, nice, clean facility, with exceptional staff. Prices are way way too expensive and were quite a shock when we settled up. My advice: if there's multiple people in your group, get a lane for each person because you are paying the same either way. FYI, brass rules, you can collect any of your brass that falls behind the red line. All brass in front goes to the range. No scooping it back safely with the squeegee. read more

Thank you Mr. Munday for instructing us on using the assault rifle it was a fantastic experience. We will definitely be back and stay longer next time!!!! read more

Went to Copper Star during a vacation in Sedona which is also near an animal park for other members of the family. Nice gun rental selection. After shooting several handguns we tried the fully automatic Valmet M78. So much fun!!! The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time and were kept safe. Highly recommended. JM New York read more

Just completed my CCW class with Copper Star. Richard was a superb instructor making a mundane legal discussion of State and Federal laws interesting and enjoyable. I have better respect of the responsibility and seriousness in being a CCW permit holder. Prior to the class, I took a hour of training with Richard and he quickly improved my accuracy and understanding of my new pistol. The modern and climatic control indoor range is a delight to use -- highly recommend. read more

We had a GREAT EXPERIENCE when we got our Concealed Carry Permit training with RICHARD. He was VERY PATIENT and helped my wife tremendously with her shooting test. However, we went back today (Saturday) to buy a new gun for my wife because she's still having accuracy issues with her small revolver. Richard wasn't there. Some other guy was working and initially he was helpful. But as time went on he became more condescending and interested in letting us know how much knowledge he had, how nice he was being in spending his time sharing his knowledge, how little my wife new and that we probably wouldn't want to spend enough to buy any handguns he had for sale. (Little did he know.) Basically, the dude walked me and lost a sale. I won't ever go back unless I know Richard is there. read more

The service and education provided by the staff was wonderful. The range was spotless, rental guns were in perfect condition and the range master took his time to explain and demonstrate guns that were foreign to the user. First time visiting and I can't wait to go back. read more

Awesome range and helpful staff! Was great to get some practice in while on vacation. Clean and professional.

Copper Star is serious about fire arm safety. I am just learning about fire arms and I so appreciate their effort to ensure Every One's safety in their facility. I am thankful that I am being instructed by professionals. We are very fortunate to have a facility of this caliber in the Verde Valley. As a novice, I notice that the staff enforces the rules across the board, regardless of one's ability or experience. I excited about expanding my knowledge and skills, but all in good time. As a novice, I do not even have my own gun, but the ability to rent different fire arms is wonderful. When I do purchase my own fire arm, i will know what i am buying and that it will be just what I want. You guys rock! read more

"The most fun you can have with your clothes on" when asking about the full auto tommy gun. Very good staff and nice shooting facilities.

Hopefully the next owners get a good deal on this place at the auction so you will not leave here feeling like you just got robbed. Pricey, there is a reason they do not let you pay until you are leaving the facility, you would walk out before shooting. Shot for 20 minutes with my wife, they whacked both of us for the full hour "lane fee". Customer service was interesting, nobody seems to know how to operate their systems excatly so with the tag team and 20 minutes after you are done shooting you should be tearing butt out of there wishing you had went a mile down the road, shot into a hill and had the money left over to go to the Out of Africa wildlife park. I give two stars because the range facility is nice, probably too nice. This is the range a rich guy would build in his back yard, not something you could expect to make money on in Camp Verde, AZ. As such the "we're losing money" theme reeks throughout this place, their high prices won't help them cover their nut and in my case they sealed the deal on me never coming back. OOh but the real deal is realized when you buy the membership...... a shooting range membership in Camp Verde.... read more

Super fun guns to shoot!!! I had the opportunity to get my hands on the m4. First time with the auto so the RSO gave great instruction and pointers. Definitely a place to check out and experience some amazing and super fun guns! read more

We took a group of friends as a part of a surprise birthday trip for my husband to AZ wine country. Copper Star Indoor Shooting Range was a fun thing to do and everyone loved the facility. It was very pricey because I was not clear on their fee structure. Per their website I was thinking $15 range time for one hour and $15 gun rental for one hour per person (x9), plus our boxes of range ammo (which was very reasonable for a box of 100). So, I was thinking $30.00-$35.00 per person (x9). IF anyone in your group needs help loading the gun or basic gun safety instructions, it is an additional $25.00 per person (not per group). IF you SHARE a rental rifle or pistol while on the range (even to shoot it once) it is an additional $15.00 each person as if you rented that gun as well for the whole hour. They have 5 bays in the shorter range room, so if you have more than 5 people (we had nine), you will be sharing bays for your hour. Not really suited to groups over 5. I gave Copper Star a 5 star rating because they are so nice and knowledgable and they have a wonderful shop and range. I was just a little sticker shocked with my end bill. We had nine people, one hour or so, sharing 5 bays, and 4 rental guns for a grand total of $750.00!! Hopefully they will update their website to show the whole fee structure in the future so there are no surprises with add on costs. Or even explain how much the instruction and sharing of guns will cost each guest prior to entering the range. So, in conclusion, it was very fun activity, and we will try to do it again. Just next time we will bring our own guns, or NOT share our rentals, and get basic loading and safety instruction from our own gun enthusiasts in our group. read more

After being a Shooter's World customer for a couple years, I got fed up with their customer service and stopped shooting there. Since the urge hit me to go shooting, and doing so outdoors wasn't viable because of 110+ degrees, I decided to make the drive and try here. I had passed the place many times going back and forth to Sedona. They have 100 Yard indoor ranges, so you can shoot rifles there. This was nice. The ranges are well lit, and have new computerized target trams as well, they are really nice to use. My friend and I showed up at 10am (Their opening time) and I called the day before to reserve a lane (which they allow!) However, this was not needed as they were not busy. Why, I have no idea - as it is a much nicer range than any indoor range in the Phoenix area. The two employees we dealt with were extremely nice, and friendly. We chatted about old Enfields on our way out. Range rental was 15 an hour per person. We used a 100 yard range for an hour or so, and a pistol range for an hour or so. The overly oppressive RSOs that frequent other ranges were not present here. It was a very comfortable and relaxed (yet safe) shooting environment. The other shooters there were friendly and responsible. I will be back, soon - and I highly recommend this range. The nice people, nice range, non-super crowded environment and RSOs who actually are not on a power trip make this the best indoor range I have shot at in Arizona. The location may be an hour drive from Phoenix - but it is worth it, and it is an easy drive. read more
