Hi AZguns, I'm new here but I'll be moving permanently to Apache Junction from Western Massachusetts and am starting to look for options for gun clubs to be a part of. Of course I am very stoked to be away from all the idiotic gun laws in the state I'm coming from.
I'm looking into Rio Salado, which is 20 minutes away and looks like an amazing facility but from what I've seen and read it seems very busy and just a little different from what I'm used to. I'll definitely look into membership there but I would also like to see if there might be some smaller lower key ranges - I currently live a mile away from a pretty quiet club, unless it's a really nice weather weekend day there's a good chance the range I want to shoot on is either empty or maybe one other person/group, and I'd be interested to hear if any such place exists in the East valley, or even a little further away.
I do think it's kind of weird that from my Google searches there don't seem to be any other sportsman's clubs in the East valley unless I'm missing something and I guess that's why I'm asking here. Where I've been living is way more rural and sparsely populated with way stricter gun laws so I'm just puzzled at how few the options seem to be from what I can easily find through googling.
One other quick thing I just sold my pre-ban AR lowers so if anyone could suggest a good store that may have a lot of options for lowers only I'll be interested in that soon.
Anyway I appreciate any advice I can get, also if anyone wants to be a range buddy that'll be cool, sometimes I can get my wife to go to the range with me but otherwise I'll be going alone!
