Phoenix Rod & Gun Club is a member-run shooting club founded in 1937, located at the base of South Mountain next to the Phoenix Police Academy, where 7th Avenue meets South Mountain Park. It operates a member range open daily from 7am to sunset and a public range open to the general public on weekends.
The Public Range is a covered range for rifles and handguns at distances from 10 to 100 yards, with 27 positions and shooting tables. It is open to the public Saturdays and Sundays from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM year-round, with no seasonal schedule change, and may close on holiday weekends. A range update notes the mid-berm on the Public Range was moved from 55 to 35 yards, with the west-end positions 10 to 22 restricted to 10 and 25 yards. A misting system has been installed on the Public Range. Members also have access to High Power Rifle (500/300 yard), Pistol, Small Bore Rifle, Practical and Steel Bay ranges, and an Indoor Range.
The club is organized into divisions. High Power Rifle covers centerfire rifle competition from hunting rifles to military service rifles. The Pistol Division runs precision pistol competition, rimfire and centerfire, including NRA Precision Pistol, CMP Service Pistol and international air pistol, along with Bullseye matches, DMW results and an AP League. The Practical Firearms Division runs scenario-based pistol, rifle and shotgun matches, including IDPA and Thursday Night Steel, and the club also lists shotgun matches. All matches are open to the public for a match fee, and matches and events have priority over members' range use.
Members receive a membership card and gate code with daily access from 7am to sundown and may bring supervised guests. The club does not rent firearms or sell ammunition. Two handicapped parking spaces are installed in front of the Public Range office. The club does not offer junior memberships; children under 18 may shoot free on the public range when accompanied and supervised by an adult.
