Welcome neighbor!Hello shooters. I am retired military and have lived in AZ about 10 years. I am raising my two boys and we spend as much time as we can shooting, camping, or anything that keeps us outdoors. Looking forward to a forum of like minded people!
A little late but I haven't been here in a while. Where in Arizona do you live? I'm in west Phoenix. I use to take my 3 girls shooting. Now I take the 5 grand sons, but not all at once. I can't afford that.Welcome...
We are in East Mesa but have ammo will travel. Now that it's cooling off a bit we are always open for some desert shooting.A little late but I haven't been here in a while.

Have you driven the back road to Roosevelt Lake? Highway 88 out of AJ. My bad
Apache Junction. Take a lunch and water if you go. Mostly gravel and some narrow mountain roads reminiscent of the trucker shows in South America. It is a long day to Roosevelt and then home on the highway. Lots of wonderful sights and plenty of places to pull over and loose some lead.
Best advice I've read coming from a native Arizonan who's trekked 100's of miles of "No G Land" starting as a kid who did not start out telling the folks exactly where I'd be. A must for sure!There is one place back there past Tortilla Flatt's where decades ago I went with a buddy to get some rattle snake skins. It is in the bottom of a canyon with water running in it when I was there. We got all the skins he wanted with in 5 minutes and 30 feet from his truck. I sat on the hood and with my scoped 10/22 found em and sent them to heaven as quick as can be.
Be careful out in the desert there are lots of critters that can and will hurt you and yours.
Always tell someone back at home where you are going and how you are getting there and back. There are huge areas of the South Western US that what I call "no G land". Used to drive from Tucson to Silver City there is at least and hour out there with no cell coverage That trip was ALL interstate and state highways
I had a CB for a while which worked OK as long as you were on pavement. If I were to set up another 4x4 I would consider a sat phone.
In a lot of ways Arizona is still the west. I love the desert and enjoy it more than any of the places I have visited. Just need to keep the brain engaged when traveling in the backcountry.
Now that sounds like a place I'm going to have to visit.
