PLEASE READ AND AGREE TO
THE RANGE ORIENTATION INFORMATION BELOW
Membership to the Tonto Rim Sports Club, Inc. (the “Club”), d/b/a Jim Jones Shooting Range (the “Range”), will not be issued until a Membership Application has been completed and the membership fee has been paid.
The Range consists of five (5) individual range areas:
RANGE USE RESTRICTIONS: In the event of special events, such as shooting matches, ranges may be unavailable to members. It is important to check the Range calendar on the Club website for range availability. In addition, the Range may be closed from time to time for maintenance necessary because of bad weather or due to fire restrictions. Subject to special events or closures, generally all the above ranges are available to Members on a first come first serve basis, 24-hours a day and 7-days a week. Other than checking the online calendar, it is a good idea to call the Range Hotline (928)970-1766 to ensure that it is open.
FIRE SEASON: It is always fire season at the Range. Fire supplies are distributed throughout the Range property. If you see a fire call 911 immediately and, if the fire is on Range Property, please work to contain the spread. If you are the last one at the Range, check to make sure all areas are clear.
AMMUNITION: No armor piercing, tracer, incendiary, steel core or other ammunition that can potentially cause a spark are allowed on the Range.
ALCOHOL OR DRUGS: No alcohol or drugs are permitted on Range property. Violation of this rule will result in termination of membership.
SMOKING: Tonto National Forest smoking rules apply on the Range.
MEMBER SIGN-IN: All Members must sign-in in the logbook located on the Main 100-yard Range.
GUEST SIGN-IN: All guests, whether shooting or observing, must sign-in in the logbook. Guests are limited to two (2) per membership.

MEMBER PERSONAL PROPERTY RESPONSIBILITY: You are responsible for your own equipment. Put your name on everything. If you lose something, you can check with an RSO on Saturdays during Public Day.
GATE ENTRY: Applicants for a NEW membership will have their gate card mailed via USPS after the application is approved and processed.
Your gate key card works when in proximity with the card reader located on the left at the gate. If following another vehicle, wait until the gate closes and swipe your own card to access the range. When leaving, your vehicle will be detected as you approach the gate and will open without need of the card. Do not lose your key card because you will not be able to enter until a new card is issued and that may take more than a week. REPLACEMENT CARD FEE: $25.00.
