I moved here from Battlement Mesa, Co. for my arthritis and I can relate to the winters. I shot 12 arrows a day during the winter just to remember. When I lived in Vermont I shot indoors in the house! Here in Mesa, AZ. I've died and gone to Heaven. Three big ranges. One is 6 miles away and has a 3-D course, hunter animal, feild and field hunter courses not to mention two main ranges one of which is covered and lighted. It's $75.00 a year. I forgot to mention the broadhead pit too. I shoot a light bow about 1000 arrows a month. I may go to PSE in Tuscon for the Vegas warmup next month. They have a big range there too.

Our indoor league is second to none! As wapiti67 mentioned, we have 20 3D targets ranging from 15-70 yards with most in the 20-40 yard range. We will be having our annual 3D tournament coming up in late January as well. It will have 30 3D targets set up, best indoor shoot in the state IMHO.

You can sign up when you get there. A membership includes a years membership to UBA as well as Stansbury Oquirrh Bowmen. Come on out January 7th and say hi and have a good time shooting foam critters.

Year round here. I've only touched snow twice in my whole twenty five years of livin' and I had to drive a few hours to get to it. No snow here in the valley though.

 If that's the place my friend took me on Christmas day in Salt Lake, they have a longer range outside

Datus you can shoot 30 indoors and up to 100 yards outside. the only other place with a 30 yard inside that I have been to is Utah archery. SL archery and Jakes only have 20.
