description

Spanning 1,650 acres on the north edge of Phoenix, Ben Avery Shooting Facility (BASF) is one of the largest and most professionally managed public ranges in the U.S. Operated by the Arizona Game and Fish Department, it features a 1,000-yard High Power Range. It supports disciplines like PRS, F-Class, NRL22, and silhouette shooting.

The range layout includes:

  • Covered rifle bays with targets from 100 to 1,000 yards
  • Steel silhouettes on the Frank L. DeSomma Range (200–500 meters)
  • Positional props, concrete pads, and shaded benches

Public access is the default—no membership required. Rifle and pistol lanes cost $7–$12/day, with additional user group options for specialty ranges. Full-auto fire is permitted in prone or benched positions. Still, shooters must keep rounds on berms and follow strict RSO supervision.

While introductory firearm classes are offered, no formal sniper or tactical training programs exist. However, monthly matches and national-level events, including the Southwest Nationals, attract skilled shooters nationwide.

Expect desert mirage and heat challenges at longer distances, making early morning the best time to dial in. BASF best suits PRS competitors, distance-focused hobbyists, and anyone seeking affordable, structured long-range practice in a professionally run facility.
