Set against the Sonoran Desert backdrop, Usery Mountain Shooting Range—operated by the Rio Salado Sportsman’s Club—delivers serious capability for long-range shooters across 140 acres just outside Phoenix.
The facility includes 48 covered benches, with paper targets of 500 yards and steel targets at 200 and 300, supported by a high-power rifle range and a 500-meter silhouette layout.
The monthly NRL22 matches are a key draw for competitive precision shooters, featuring dynamic stages with props and terrain. Long-range access on high-power and silhouette ranges is gated by match-based qualifications, ensuring a vetted shooting experience. The facility also supports USPSA, airgun, and sporting clays, with a dedicated 24-lane airgun hall and lighted pistol bays for nighttime training.
Safety rules are enforced tightly**.50 BMG is prohibited**, holster work is limited to approved settings, and prone is allowed only in designated zones. Public shooters can walk in daily, but members gain extended access and qualification privileges.
From LE sniper training to structured PRS-style competition, Usery is built for shooters who take precision seriously. It is ideal for locals training regularly or match shooters looking for a well-run, accessible long-range venue in central Arizona.
