Question: How and where can I do my target practice?

Answer:

There are restrictions about where you can do that shooting, but be careful wherever you shoot a firearm.

You cannot shoot any firearm from within city limits except:

• At a properly supervised range.
• In an area recommended as a hunting area by the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
• For the control of nuisance wildlife by permit.
• By special permit from the chief of police of your local municipality.
• To protect yourself or your property against an attack by another person or animal.
• When using blanks (ARS §13-3107 (C)).

Local city ordinances should also be consulted as cities and towns have the authority to regulate firearm possession in areas developed for public recreation or family activity, such as picnic areas, swimming areas, golf courses, horseback riding facilities and boat landings (ARS §13-3108 (C)).

If you are near Phoenix, the Ben Avery Shooting Facility off Carefree Highway is rated one of the finest shooting ranges in the U.S. It is open to the public; You need to be accompanied by a parent or adult certified instructor. There is another range near South Mountain, but there is an annual membership fee there.
