All about Pima Pistol Club

Facility and Ranges:

• Outdoor Complex: The club is an outdoor facility spread over 15 acres, featuring 15 different range bays for various uses and distances.

• Public Ranges: The facility is open to both members and the general public on a daily fee basis. The public typically has access to two main ranges:

  • Range 1 (Pistol Range): Restricted to pistol shooting at distances from 10 to 15 yards. Drawing from a holster is prohibited here.

  • Range 2 (Rifle Range): A public rifle range suited for longer distances, with a maximum of 100 yards. Rapid fire is generally not permitted on this range.

• Member Ranges: Members have access to numerous multi-purpose bays, including dynamic pistol ranges (like the 25-yard "Marshal" and "Bronco" ranges) and a dedicated 200-yard long-distance range for sighting in or precision shooting, which is the longest range at the PPC. Member ranges typically allow for dynamic shooting, holster use, and the use of steel targets.

• General Amenities: The range is open year-round, except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It operates as a "cold range," meaning all firearms must be unloaded and cased before check-in. The club sells a limited selection of targets and hearing protection, but does not rent firearms or sell ammunition.

Services and Disciplines:

• Competitions: The club is a major hub for competitive shooting and hosts a wide variety of matches, including:

  • USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association)

  • IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association)

  • Steel Challenge

  • Rimfire Challenge

  • ICORE (International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts)

  • 2-Gun Action Challenge

• Training: PPC has a classroom and ranges available for scheduled training use by approved user groups and certified professional instructors, covering basic pistol, rifle, and safety courses.

• Membership: Membership is available, offering benefits such as full access to all 15 ranges (including member-only dynamic bays), the ability to draw from a holster, and use of steel targets. Prospective members must apply in person at the range office.

The Pima Pistol Club serves a diverse community, from casual recreational shooters and local law enforcement to high-level national and international competitors.
