Buckeye, Arizona - Joe Foss Shooting Facility
http://joefossrange.com/Appleseed range since 2009
Located in the Buckeye Hills Recreational Area just South of I-10 to the West of Phoenix, the recently built range, named after Medal of Honor recipient General Joseph Jacob "Joe" Foss, is one of Appleseed's mainstay ranges, typically hosting at least six Appleseeds per year.
Appleseeds are held on the "Medal of Honor" training range located just to the South of the main public range - continue on through the main range parking lot and after crossing the bridge at the far end, Appleseed parking is along the arroyo to the right. The concrete firing line is covered, but West-facing, so the line loses it's shade in the afternoon - bring a towel or something to cover your rifle between stages in hot weather, and bring sunscreen.
Directions:
From Interstate 10, approximately 30 miles West of Phoenix, take Exit 112 - (Hwy 85 South) approximately 10.5 miles to the Buckeye Recreation Area (Buckeye Hills Dr. on the right), entrance to the range is on the left about 250 yds in. Proceed all the way through to the "Medal of Honor Range" on the far South end of the parking lot.
Free primitive camping is available further West along Buckeye Hills Drive in the Buckeye Hills Recreation Area.
