Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any shooting experience to book?+
No experience is required. Every experience is guided one-on-one by a professional instructor who teaches proper firearm handling, safety, and shooting fundamentals at your pace. We welcome complete first-timers as well as experienced shooters.
Where are you located?+
We operate on private desert range land in Hurricane, Southern Utah, just outside Zion National Park. Exact meeting directions are shared when you book.
What firearms will I get to shoot?+
Depending on your package, you can shoot 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP pistols, AR-15 rifles, an AR-10 in .308 for long-range targets at 400+ meters, and a 12-gauge shotgun with flying targets.
Is it safe? What about beginners and kids?+
Safety is our number one priority. You receive thorough one-on-one instruction and supervision the entire time, along with eye and ear protection. We tailor the experience to your comfort level. Minors may participate with a parent or guardian present.
What should I bring and wear?+
Bring closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen for the desert sun. We provide all firearms, ammunition, eye and ear protection, targets, and water. Just show up ready for fun.

Packages range from $100 for the introductory Southern Utah Shooting Range experience up to $350 for the all-inclusive 'MERICA Package. Use the Book Now button, call 725-696-4707, or message us on WhatsApp to reserve your time.
Do I need a reservation, or can I just stop by?+
Reservations are required. Zion Shooting Experience is a private, guided outdoor shooting experience—not a walk-in public shooting range. Each experience is reserved exclusively for you, your family, or your group, allowing us to provide personalized one-on-one instruction in a safe, relaxed environment without sharing your experience with strangers.
