About Second Knoll Target Range
Second Knoll Target Range currently offers a 100-yard all-purpose range for public use of rifles and pistols. It is open for public use on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, weather permitting. (See footer for Winter and Summer hours.) Our 300-yard ‘Precision Rifle’ range is open several days a month as staffing allows. (For updated days/times, please check this website or call the Range phone at 928-205-3609.) Both ranges are under the control of trained volunteer Range Safety Officers whose primary goal is to ensure that everyone remains safe.
The range complex also offers other facilities that are available through affiliated club activities. These are a 50-yard ‘Bullseye’ pistol range equipped with turning targets, and four 25-yard training and competition bays. All ranges and competition bays are also available to rent for matches and private events.
Our range is a public range under the auspices of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The department has 11 ranges throughout the state and ours is consistently ranked in the top 3. Moreover, we aren’t done. Future plans include a clubhouse, a classroom, and a resident caretaker.

Cowboys of the High Country
We are a group of folks who enjoy rolling back time to a bright sunny day in 1876 where we put on our cowboy duds, strap on our shootin’ irons and grab our lever action rifle, trusty double barrel shotgun and a handful of ammo then heading out to the range for a few hours of having fun shooting and listening to the steel ring out as we have a little friendly competition . . . cowboy style.

White Mountain Practical Shooters
Practical shooting is a sport enjoyed all over the world. It involves the use of firearms in simulated situations where you might be forced to defend yourself. Handguns are our primary focus, with two matches a month (weather permitting) on the 2nd Sunday and 4th Saturday of each month. A PSCL 2-Gun match is held on the 2nd Saturday of every month. We hold a ICORE Revolver Match on the 3rd Saturday and a SCSA Steel Challenge Match on the 3rd Sunday of every month. Check the Schedule & Results page for specific dates.
The “stages” that are set up for handguns include targets that are placed anywhere from point blank distance to 30 yards away. They may be paper targets, steel plates, or knock down steel targets called “Pepper Poppers” after their inventor, John Pepper. After the course of fire is described to everyone, you get to try your hand at the course. We rarely repeat a course of fire, so the challenges are always different. Your score is divided by your time, measuring both speed and accuracy. The person with the best score in the shortest time is the winner, although we place no emphasis on winning.
We want you to: A) be safe, B) have fun, and C) learn something.
Shooting Dates:
USPSA: 2nd Sunday and 4th Saturday of each month
All Steel Match: 1st Saturday of every month
PSCL 2-Gun match: 2nd Saturday of every month
ICORE Revolver: 3rd Saturday of every month
SCSA Steel Challenge Match: 3rd Sunday of every month
