As of October 1st, 2024 the new SOP went into effect. You can find a copy of this document with the link below.
In section 16 the board authorized a $15.00 a day fee for all non-members no matter the discipline of use for the range. This means no matter if you are shooting pistols on the bays, using the archery range, using the 500 or 1000 yard ranges or shooting at the Clay Target Center you will please sign in at the Range Office.
If you are a member you will sign in with your member card. If you are a non-member you will sign in and pay the $15.00 day fee. This section also states that price of the clays will be the same for members or non-members which will be $5.00 per round of clays. A round of clays is 25 clays.
Chamber Flags are MANDATORY during a cease fire on the range and during all events & matches. You may also remove the bolt from any bolt gun instead of a chamber flag.
At the “CEASE FIRE” command, all firearms will be unloaded, magazines removed, actions opened, and placed on the benches, with the muzzle pointed down range.
Move immediately BEHIND the YELLOW SAFETY LINE and stay there until an “All Clear” is given. NO ONE is permitted to handle firearms or stand at the Firing Line while there is a “Cold Range”, or “Cease Fire” having been called.
If you don’t already have one, Chamber Flags can be purchased at the Range Office for $3.00 each.
As per Arizona Game and Fish, the 1000 yard range and 500 meter range cannot be used simultaneously. This is due to close proximity and lack of angular difference between shooting lanes; which is obviously a safety issue. Until a permanent solution is implemented the 1000 yard range and 500 yard range shooting times will be as follows:
Monday: 8am to 12:00 pm, 500 meter range open to public.
Monday: 12:00 pm to 4pm, 1000 yard range open to public.
Tuesday: 8am to 12:00 pm, 1000 yard range open to public.
Tuesday: 12:00 pm to 4pm, 500 meter range open to public.
Wednesday: 8am to 12:00 pm, 500 meter range open to public.
Wednesday: 12:00 pm to 4pm, 1000 yard range open to public.
Thursday: 8am to 12:00 pm, 1000 yard range open to public.
Thursday: 12:00 pm to 4pm, 500 meter range open to public.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday will remain first come first served.
Special events, matches or LE requirements will take precedent.
Duty Range Officers discretion may change schedule to serve public as necessary.

Not only did we find and repair one leak, but two!
We would like to thank the usual group of volunteers, Farren Clark, Russell Holm & David Henry.
Extra Special thanks to Craig Severance and Fred Hearring for going above & beyond. You both made short work with your expertise.
The range is thankful for the work they do!
Water leak repair in progress! We've discovered that the water leak is more extensive than initially thought, affecting the entrance road to the range where the water main runs underneath.
To address this, we've had to excavate part of the road, and it's now reduced to one lane.
Please slow down and exercise extra caution in the repair area.
We're also seeking volunteers to help with asphalt repairs once the water main is fixed. If you're willing to lend a hand, please contact Farren, our club vice president, call or text 928-362-0476 or email vicepresident@mohavesportsmanclub.org. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!
We would like to thank Bob Waller and his daughter Laurie Taylor for their continued support and volunteer service to our range.
The range and the Membership of the club are thankful for the work they do!
Calling all furniture donors!
The range is in need of gently used chairs for our firing lines. If you have some spare seating you'd like to donate, we'd greatly appreciate it.
Your contribution will help support the range and provide a comfortable experience for our members.
Please bring your chairs to the range office! THANK YOU!!
We have 5 new gun racks on bay 8!! Big thanks to our Vice President, Farren Clark who rebuilt them. He is now rebuilding the bay 10 rack.
An appreciation plaque was presented by Fred Herring to MSC for our support for Fishing for Smiles.
Our deepest condolences to Jim Carter, a long time member and match director of the Cowboy Events for many years. He will be greatly missed!
Big thanks to Joseph Nemeck for stepping in to take over as the Cowboy Event Director.
I believe it's safe to say, the Revolver Challenge was a great success. Not painless, but most everyone enjoyed the stages as set and there were no injuries.
I would like to thank Bruce Buelke for taking the Range Master roll, setup, and keeping the bays stocked with paint tape and targets.
Vicki and Russell Holm for their assist with setup, check-in, prize table operations and photos.
And, thanks to Henry and Tracy Toribio we had a nice prize table. Their sponsors were very gracious.
Henry, Tracy, Bruce, and Greg Drewitt all played RSO / Pad keepers as needed.
David and Linda Henry for their guidance with Practiscore, and award/shirt design and printing, as well as their donation to the prize table.
Last but not least, my brother Charlie. He came five days early to help set-up and be a nagging voice telling me why I can't set some targets the way I want. Always a learning experience.
With more volunteers, next year could be much better.
Thank you all, Craig S..
Mohave County 4-H would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Mohave Sportsman Club!
The Archery kids had an absolute blast at the range today. We had 3 different age groups. Junior, Intermediate and Seniors. The kids, Parents, Leaders that showed up and assisted raved about your Archery Range!
We want to acknowledge 2 exceptional behind the scene helpers.
Ross Hunter
His help presetting targets and making these kids day with a 3D course. He welcomed us with open arms. Truly a blessing to the Archery Range. Thank you so much Ross for you assistance.
RSO Russell
This guy is a outstanding staff member! He is always smiling and just a pleasure to interact with. Helped get our sign in a breeze and thought out our day on the range made it just perfect.
These kids, I believe our the future, and with out positive role models can struggle. We strive for positive youth development, that is our main focus with 4-H. The motto is To make the best Better.
Today, Mohave Sportsman Club made our 4-H Archery event not just better, but GREAT!
Thank you, from the bottom of our Hearts. We would like to Thank Ross, and also left a $300.00 dollar donation for your Archery Range.
It is with great appreciation that we have received a $500.00 donation from the Arizona Rangers for us to fix the roof on bay 10.
The Arizona Rangers used to come to our range to shoot but they now have their own range to shoot at. They have never forgotten us and wish our range to continue on in the fabulous glory of being available for all to shoot at. When they heard the call for help they stepped up and brought us a check for $500.00. This donation was presented at the August meeting to our President, Fred Bunge. We would like to give them a big round of applause and sincere thank you.
A Girl & A Gun Women’s Shooting League is a ladies-only organization established by women shooters for women pistol, rifle, and shotgun shooters! The league is designed to take beginners to whatever skill level they wish to achieve and provide experienced shooters with more opportunities. The objective of some is to improve their skill levels for self-defense and competitive shooting. Others also are interested in learning how to choose the right guns, gear, and accessories for long-term participation in the community.
Please check the club calendar for our next event. Normally we will meet once a month on Sunday at 2pm.
Please bring eye & ear protection, a brimmed hat, a handgun (unloaded), at least 2 magazines, a kydex holster, belt, pants with belt loops, NO serpa holsters, and 50-100 rounds of ammo.
Expect to be working on firearm safety, manipulations of your firearm, including stoppages, stance, grip, and shooting fundamentals. As the skill level of the group goes up, different shooting drills will be introduced.
You do not have to be a member of AG&AG organization, nor MSC to participate. Range fee for the events are $10 for non-MSC members and $5 for MSC members.
AG&AG membership is $50 per year and comes with many great benefits and perks. You can visit their website here: AG&AG
