About this range Strong evidence

Southwest Airgunners is an AAFTA-style Field Target club founded by Rex J. serving the Eastern Arizona / Western New Mexico airgun community. The club operates a 13-lane FT course on private property along the Gila River in Duncan, AZ — a cottonwood-and-river-bottom natural setting that contrasts with most desert AAFTA venues. The 2026 calendar includes three spring matches (April 3-4, April 30-May 2, May 29-30), with the late April/early May date serving as the inaugural Gila River AAFTA Grand Prix. Match weekends include silhouette and field target combined formats. Multi-year community presence, sponsorship from major airgun retailers.
