Member-owned clubs carry a big share of the shooting in Southern Arizona. Several open their public bays to anyone who pays a day fee, and all of them host the matches, leagues and clinics that turn casual shooters into skilled ones. Membership usually adds private bays, longer hours and match discounts.
