The Scottsdale Gun Club is an indoor shooting range located in Scottsdale, Arizona,USA, and is the nation's largest indoor shooting range.[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 building includes two public shooting bays, a tactical bay, and a tactical shoot house.

[edit] Indoor shooting range

There are a total of 32 firing lanes and targets can be set as far as 75 feet from the shooter. For safety, each lane is separated from the adjacent lanes by bullet-resistant glass. The range's backstop can handle most calibers of rifle and handgun, anything that produces less than 8100 Pound/Feet of force.

[edit] Tactical shoot house

The two-story, live-fire, 360 degree tactical shoot house allows for realistic training in a completely configurable environment. Moveable walls allow users to construct the exact layout of a specific room or building in which they want to simulate. There are two staircases separating the floors, a cut back with a landing, and a straight staircase, allowing for a variety of different training scenarios. The shoot house can be used for force-on-force training with training munition converted firearms.
