NEWS RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oct. 15, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHOENIX \u2014 The Ben Avery Shooting Facility (BASF) is shining the spotlight on a new way to have some fun breaking clay targets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the sun goes down on the first and third Thursday each month, recreational shooters can gather behind the Clay Target Center Pavilion and give their shotguns an \u201cafter-hours\u201d workout under the lights on the 5-Stand course. \u201c5-Stand@Night\u201d puts an exciting and challenging spin on a popular clay-target shooting game. From 7 to 9 p.m., shooters aim at colored targets that appear to be glowing against the dark, desert sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those new to the traditional game, 5-Stand involves shooting clay targets in rounds of 25 from five stands, with each shooter rotating from station to station. Clay targets are thrown in a predetermined pattern that is indicated on a menu. 5-Stand uses six to eight machines and simulates game-bird hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost for this shooting opportunity is the price of the clay targets. Customers are encouraged to purchase a Gold Card before 7 p.m., when the facility closes Thursday nights. A Gold Card is a preloaded target card that has a one-time cost of $15. That target card then is used to load a  minimum of $100 in clay targets (about 350). As an added bonus, the target card can be kept indefinitely and used anywhere at the Clay Target Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a reminder, all firearms must be cased before entering the course. Customers are responsible for picking up their spent casings. Eyewear and hearing protection are required.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clay Target Center is a professionally managed public shotgun-shooting facility, located at 5060 W. Skeet St. (about 1.5 miles west of Interstate 17 on West Carefree Highway) in north Phoenix. Hours: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Closed Monday.
