    Phoenix range meet spring 2020

    I would like to host a range meet next spring on my private range.
    I am open to a weekend between January and April 2020.

    Location is near the town of Wittmann, AZ which is the far northwest suburbs of Phoenix.

    This is not an Amway sales event. I will have my machine guns and suppressors for my entertainment and they will be available for rent but there is no requirement to pay anything to attend and shoot your own guns.

    I would like to start out small so this will be limited to 10 vehicles and 30 people.

    I practice the 4 rules of firearms safety.

    My range is on primitive land. No bathrooms/medical facilities/utilities. There is cell reception but it is weak.

    Access requires a high clearance 2wd vehicle. 4wd preferred but 2wd can be done by good drivers. At least 8" of clearance and minimal overhangs in front/rear. A 2wd Tacoma could do it. A stock awd Subaru will not without body damage.

    Camping is allowed. Fires at my discretion. RVs will not make it. Overlanders should. Toy haulers/trailers will be able to get within 100 yards and can camp on a friends property that is flat.

    There are miles of utv/bike trails nearby on trust and blm land. If you get bored with shooting you can wheel all you want.

    I'll be changing out the layout of the range next fall.
    100ft wide back stop for typical public range style shooting.
    Run and gun course with plates out to about 100 yards. The run and gun course will be wide enough to drive tracked vehicles through so it should be easy to run 4x4s through the course.
    Long range out to 1200 yards.

    There are some nice hotels in my town if you do not want to camp. If we did this during Spring Training month you could catch a few games while in town.

    Feel free to post questions/suggestions in this thread or via PM.

    ATTENDEE LIST
    SINCE THIS IS SO FAR IN ADVANCE NO WORRIES ABOUT CANCELLING. JUST LET US KNOW ASAP IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND SO SOMEONE ELSE CAN GO.

      Would it be OK if I bring my machine guns and other NFA stuff too?
      A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you may never need one again.

          Yes. Just no explosives that can launch projectiles like encased grenades. Simple stuff like tanerite is fine. Military vehicles need to be approved as some could get stuck. I have acces to a bulldozer but there will be a hefty recovery charge.

              You can borrow my Jeep. I will probably need 2 vehicles anyway.

                Sounds badass, I'm only in San Diego and would love to shoot out to 1200 yards. My Tacoma will easily make it.

                      Cool. I want to come along if someone can spare enough room/weight for 180lb scrawny asian. What else do you need assistance with?

                        A stock AWD Subaru Crosstrek with 8.7in ground clearance will go anywhere a RWD Tacoma will

                        In fact, any of Subaru's crossover/ suv's will.

                        =P

                        So are Calgunners already in Phoenix area welcome, or just the CA calgunners?

                            I would be honored to attend. Sincerely.

                            4 X 2 with mild lift and good tires, shootin' irons and camp gear featuring some '40s and '50s vintage Coleman.

                            Camping and shooting in the desert is all I want to do these days. And I don't get to do it much. So, yeah, please count me in!

                              Down 89 it is about 95 miles and 2 hours form whiskey row. 17 is slower and farther.
