Scottsdale Gun Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottsdale Gun Club (SGC) is an indoor shooting range located in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.
The facility is a large public indoor shooting range with 32 total lanes.[1] The building's architect was Arrington Watkins of Phoenix, Arizona and the Club is recognized by the National Association of Shooting Ranges as a 'Five Star Facility'.[2][3] The 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) building includes three eight lane public shooting bays, a tactical bay, and a tactical shoot house.
The Scottsdale Gun Club opened for business in May 2004. Conceived by Terry Schmidt, Nadine Little and Mark Hanish, the $8.2 million club was to be a full-service facility for military, law enforcement and private citizens alike.[4]
Some amount of resistance by the community was met when the club was first proposed. As well, banks were reluctant to finance such a project. However, with the support of shooters and firearms enthusiasts, the City of Scottsdale finally approved the club in September 2001.[5]
