This was my first time at a range, so my experience is fairly limited. But I found that this range was accomodating and it served my purpose, which was to teach the family how to fire a pistol.
It was very inexpensive. $5 per shooter. The fee is good all day, so you can come and go as needed. There are discounts available. Targets, hearing protection, and protective glasses are available for purchase. Other facilities are limited.
The range is quite a distance from town. A good 13 miles and the road to the range is unimproved and extremly bumpy. I would recommend bringing plenty of ammo, and, if you are going to stay for awhile, bring drinks and food.

I have been stationed on and off near the Sierra Vista Shooting Range for almost four years. I can tell you that it has changed from better to worst in the last year alone. Today was a perfect example of how the leadership at this range is not in tune with supporting our soldiers. Due to complete miscommunication on the range organizer part, they threated to kick deploying soldiers off the range because it was not coordinated with them in advance. It is shame that we were not allowed to qualify and train prior to deployment because we were not members of the range.

I've visited the SV range several times over the last ten years- it's ALWAYS had poor access. The road in is not maintained, dirt and rocks, narrow and VERY ROUGH. Range masters are more interested in BS'ing than range management. Shooting intervals vary- no consistency. The range faces East, the benches are too close together, facilities are poor, open pit toilets,no water, little shade. It could be nice, if the managers cared.

Went to this range for the first time. The road is very bad going in. When I arived I met with the Range Master. He was very helpful in getting set up in the right spot for Pistol shooting, & with the rules of the range. The range was in good shape, & well run. It seemed like a good safe place to shoot. I will return.
