THE COWTOWN RANGE STORY

LET US TELL YOU A TALE

If you’re game to get some desert dust on your boots and get a whiff of what’s left of the Old West, then come to Cowtown. This storied facility was originally built in 1973 by Hollywood stuntman, Ron Nix, as a movie studio and general entertainment and shooting facility. More than 200 movies and television episodes have been made at Cowtown, including Knight Rider 2010, Billy Jack, and Dead Man (starring Johnny Depp).

Some of the country’s best shooters have called Cowtown home over the years. It’s the venue of choice for western shooting clubs, competitions, and festivals, as well as Cowboy Action shooters in the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS).

The precision shooting curriculum, other specialized training and unique facility are also valued by elite special operations units and law enforcement.

Cowtown Range is owned, managed and operated exclusively by retired and active U.S. military service members and law enforcement professionals.

SHOOT YOUR OWN ACTION ADVENTURE AT COWTOWN

REAL-WORLD TRAINING

No static point and shoot here. Get experience with night shooting, high-angle shooting, vehicle-based shooting, movement to contact training, and more.

UNPARALLELED TERRAIN

Off grid, but still accessible. Our isolated, hilly, high desert terrain is just 30 minutes from downtown Scottsdale and Phoenix, but closely resembles Afghanistan.

PRIVATE & EXCLUSIVE

Our members-only facility is open to civilian shooters, government agencies, commercial training companies, security companies, R&D firms, and firearms manufacturers.

THE BEST COURSES

We offer training courses for long-range precision (beginner to advanced) and, coming soon, introductory courses for pistol/revolver, rifle/carbine/PCC, shotgun, shooting competitions, and special courses for CCW Permits and ladies pistol shooting.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Best place in the Phoenix area to shoot, no matter what kind of shooter you are.

I have been a member for two years and couldn’t be happier with the facility, R/Os and other members I have been lucky enough to run into there. Wednesday night steel is a blast. I bring a bunch of friends out every chance we get.
