Ben Avery Clay Target Center / Review & Photos.

The Ben Avery Clay Target Center is located just north of Phoenix AZ. It’s on Carefree Hyw. Just off of I-17. They’ve got trap, skeet, 5-stand and sporting clays. Next door at the handgun / rifle ranges they’ve got rifle ranges out to 1000 yards, handgun ranges, practical pistol bays, bench rest, metallic silhouette and more.

The sporting clays range is a mostly flat ¾ of a mile walking course through the desert. They have 15 stations, but at anytime you only shoot 10 of them. We shot 5 true pairs at each of the 10 stations. They had some challenging but fair presentations.

They also have a really nice AIR CONDITIONED club house. After shooting in the summer heat, you’ll be glad they do. Yeah it was HOT, but since we’re real men, we persevered. All in all it was a fun place with good targets and friendly people. As soon as November (cooler temps) rolls around, I’ll be back.

Nice post, thanks.
What do you see for the future of the Ben Avery range- is it still safely out in the boonies, or is civilization starting to intrude?

Also, still trying to figure out the meaning of your user name.....

Go fast and look fast bike rider.:)

Ben Avery is , and has been, under attack by developers. So far, the attack is being repelled but the fight is far from over.

I have driven by there a few times on my way to Vegas but never stopped. Maybe someday I should do that.

Just wish the shooting range down here at 3 Points had a Skeet/Trap range

They hold a cowboy shoot every month and it looks like fun. Might go out someday and watch. Missed the last one. Got there at the very end.

I used to race those little Yamaha YSR-50s. It's a little 50cc sport bike we race on kart tracks here in So. Cal.
