The Shooting Range is a family-owned indoor shooting range and gun shop at 18618 S 186th Way in Queen Creek, Arizona. It has operated in Queen Creek since 2010. Liz Robinson and Amanda Krugen own it, and Amanda runs day-to-day operations. The range also serves shooters from Gilbert and San Tan Valley.
The range has 20 lanes at 25 yards. Rapid fire and double tapping are allowed, and drawing from the holster is allowed after consulting a staff member. Firearms must have sights and/or optics, and shotguns must have a stock. Prohibited ammunition includes steel core, steel case, armor piercing, tracer, incendiary and bi-metal jacket rounds, bird shot, and anything smaller than #4 buckshot. Buckshot and slugs only are allowed in shotguns. Customers can rent handguns, long guns and NFA items, and machine-gun rentals are priced individually by phone. A 5-lane bay and a 10-lane bay, each with a classroom, can be rented for private groups.
