About Southeast Regional Park Shooting Range
Southeast Regional Park Shooting Range stands as one of Tucson’s premier public shooting facilities, operated and managed by Pima County Parks and Recreation. Located at 11296 S Harrison Rd, this range has earned a solid reputation for maintaining one of the safest and most welcoming shooting environments in the region.
The facility caters to shooters of all skill levels, offering multiple shooting lanes configured for both pistol and rifle disciplines. Whether you’re a seasoned marksman honing your skills or a newcomer interested in learning safe firearm handling, the range provides an inclusive atmosphere. The RSOs (Range Safety Officers) and volunteer staff are consistently praised for their expertise and friendly demeanor, creating an environment where education and safety are paramount.
What sets Southeast Regional Park apart is its commitment to accessibility. Unlike ranges that charge premium fees, this public facility keeps admission and target costs remarkably reasonable. Paper targets range from just $0.50 to $2 depending on the style, making frequent practice sessions financially feasible for budget-conscious shooters. The facility provides various amenities at no additional cost, including target stands, sand bags, blocks, and tape - resources that private ranges often charge extra for.
The range layout features both short and long-range lanes suitable for different weapon types, an archery section, and clay shooting areas, making it a versatile destination for diverse shooting disciplines. Ample parking and accessible restrooms ensure a comfortable visit. The facility maintains strict safety protocols with 30-minute rotations and consistent staff oversight on the firing line.
Operating Thursday through Sunday from 8 AM, with extended hours on weekends until 3 PM, the facility provides consistent access for the shooting community. While the limited weekday hours and closed status Monday through Wednesday may inconvenience some, the facility’s summer hours schedule is available on their website. For those seeking an affordable, well-maintained, and safety-conscious public shooting range in southern Arizona, Southeast Regional Park delivers exceptional value and a genuinely community-focused shooting experience.
