    Dear god I hate Tucson lol, it's been a while so I'm not sure of any recent places. I remember an outdoor range down there. It is a lot different. They had all kinds of different stages and ranges. It was real cheap and no one was even out there. We had the AKs with us that day, and we were told not unload because the berms couldn't handle it. Some of the shooting gallery reminded me of a carnival. Wish I could remember the name of the place

    Renting a room off a chick? Does it have straw on the floor and chicken wire for walls?

    No free places to shoot, other than out in the desert. Some folks go out Reddington Pass way to plink - a friend ended up with a 40 S&W ricochet in his elbow from some fool not ensuring his backstop. Restaurants - good, great, mediocre. Food - Safeway usually has the best truck. What side of town will you be on? PM me...
    And the one off Houghton is a county range, costs $8 a day, nice range, far SE side of the community.

    If you like airplanes there is a great museum.
    Half day project to walk through it.

    Re the Air Museum - I volunteer there, drive a tram telling visitors about the outside displays. Anyone from here can get comped in (by me) if they let me know, and can come on Wednesday when I work. Largest non-governmental Air & Space Museum in the world...
