I'm trying to find an AZ range suitable to hold a KD. We need target stands at 100, 200, 300, and 400 yrds. Other than Kingman, does anyone have any suggestions?

I know it's been a while since I've been active, is there a problem with Kingman?
There was always a problem with 100 & 200 yards. But there was always an option of using Bay 1 for 100 & 200 and then relocating to the 500 yard range for 300-400 and 500? Just saying.

Utah observer, here. Keep me in the loop!

Did you look at the Tucson area county ranges? I know that both of the county ranges have at least 100 yards available. https://www.pima.gov/1271/Shooting-Sports

Why not try Ben Avery?  They have a 1000 yard range with firing points at 100, 200, 300, 500, 600, 800, 900, 1000. The Desert Sharpshooter club (desertsharpsooters.com) hosts practice and matches on this range. They may be able to help with info on how to get access.

The answer was in your statement,  there is no 400 yrd which is one of the required distances. But that does make me wonder if we can modify it and use 500 as replacement.  Certainly worth me running up the chain. Ill get back to you on that.
Thanks for posting

IAO 
Would the range allow moving the firing line to the 100y line to engage the 500y line? (distance to target would be 400y).

Alternatively, the KD Manual (p15, item 5) addresses the lack of a 400y target line.

BRILLIANT !!! Thanks ArmyVet

Hi All I was at this range for a Pistol event some time ago and looked at the 1000 yard range for the possibility of future KDs.

I had an idea then that hasn't been discussed here as of yet. The range has slightly elevated shooting positions for 100, 200 and 300 yard ETC shooting. This is pretty common and we have the same thing at a range down here in Fl. The 400 has no defined shooting position and I think it is even close to the road at your range.  That said you could just shoot from the ground. This would mean you would have to elevate your targets slightly on the berm so you can see them from the ground-based firing position.  This is how we handle it at the range in Fl. I got down in Prone when I was there in AZ and it looked fine when I looked at it. Admittedly I don't know the range rules for the 1000 yd range.

Advantage.
You are still shooting a target directly on the berm, a requirement for many ranges. 

Disadvantage.
1. Your targets are not all the way at ground level so you must ensure you have plenty of berm above the target for safety.
2. You have way too many rattlesnakes for my liking. I love snakes but you might want to check the line before putting shooters down there.
