If you have a semi auto 22 and a shotgun, join a multigun match at CHAS or SPFGA (or both).

I fully agree with this suggestion. Along with your shottie, a 10/22 or TM22 would set you up for two-gun match fun. ​​

I work and used to live in the fort and never tried it out, how's the experience?

pretty much:

  1. Get a range membership. SPFGA or CHAS recommended. Phoenix if you want indoor

  2. Go on a weekend.

  3. Talk to people. Most are very friendly.

SPFGA is great. Lots of value for the money you spend on a membership, leagues, all that good stuff. You also get unlimited camping on the property.

If I was on that side of town, I'd be very tempted by SPFGA for the camping  and shooting. Is there hunting there too?

1

u/johnnyfuckinghobo Apr 14 '26

I believe there is at least one hunting property connected to the site and at least one ACA zone between the city and the range.

u/Venetian_chachi Apr 15 '26

No hunting at SPFGA. There is ACA land nearby.

SPFGA range is a Cadillac range. Nicest I’ve ever been to.
