Ben Avery transitions to regular summer hours

Now that daytime temperatures in the Phoenix area are hitting 100 degrees, the Ben Avery Shooting Facility Main Range and the Ben Avery Clay Target Center will transition to regular summer hours of operation beginning Friday, June 1.

The hours of operation will be:

Mondays: Closed
Tuesdays: 5-9:30 p.m.
Wednesdays: 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5-9:30 p.m. (closed 1-5 p.m.)
Thursdays: 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5-9:30 p.m. (closed 1-5 p.m.)
Fridays: 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Saturdays: 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5-9:30 p.m. (closed 1-5 p.m.)
Sundays: 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“The primary difference between our May schedule and this new schedule is that we’ll close on Saturday afternoons and at 1 p.m. on Sundays, due to the high heat at those times of day,” says Ben Avery Range Manager Marty Herrera.

The Ben Avery Shooting Facility Main Range is located at 4044 W. Black Canyon Blvd. in Phoenix. The Ben Avery Clay Target Center is located at 37016 N. Archery Drive in Phoenix. To get to either, take I-17 to the Carefree Highway exit (exit 223). Go west on Carefree Highway about 1/4 mile for the Main Range entrance, or go west about 1/2 mile for the Clay Target Center entrance and follow the signs.
