Located on 1,650 acres in north Phoenix, the facility averages more than 120,000 shooters per year. It\u2019s also the first government facility to receive a Five Star rating from the National Association of Shooting Ranges, meaning it\u2019s the best of the best at providing a quality recreation experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/shooting-sports\/ben-avery-shooting-facility\/\"><strong>www.azgfd.com\/shooting-sports\/ben-avery-shooting-facility\/<\/strong><\/a> for more information, or call 623-582-8313.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Avery Shooting Facility&#8217;s summer hours of operation will be in effect through Aug. 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":9029,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[88,92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-basf-all","category-main-site"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Shooting facility switches to summer hours - Arizona Game &amp;
