Phil Dunlop Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Pretty keen to checkout the shooting scene on my upcoming trip, can anyone suggest some must sees while I'm there? Thanks P.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 william, larkin and moore in northern Scottsdale has an awesome collection of fine double shotguns and some nice hunting rifles if you are into that sort of thing. It's pretty close to Dillon. 1911 Heaven (Dobson and Elliot) in Chandler probably has the biggest selection of competition guns - made on site. Arizona Sportsman has 2 stores, 1 in Mesa, the other in Phoenix. Sometimes they have some interesting stuff - sometimes not. Same with Caswell's Indoor Shooting range in Mesa, just off hwy 60 and Country club. Legendary Guns (19th Ave just north of Camelback) shares a strip mall with the Wilderness (makers of tactical nylon equipment). Legendary always has some interesting stuff, particulalry if you're into cowboy stuff. Finally, what would a trip to Mesa be without going to see Derrick Martin at Accuracy Speaks at the Rio Salado? A true must see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunlop Posted October 26, 2001 Author Share Posted October 26, 2001 Thanks Kelly, that should keep us buisy for a couple of days. P.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Phil, you do of course have to go to Casey's. It's a widely known place amongst us Norwegian shooters :-) This will cover your nightly activeties.

Nik Habicht Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 Phil, Make sure you show Kelly where it is....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunlop Posted October 26, 2001 Author Share Posted October 26, 2001 Even, I think I read in The New Zealand Herald Travel section that they do incredible Buffalo wings at Casseys. Its not hard to see why Kelly is so poorly informed, I'll have to send him a subscription. ......or was it GQ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 ditto on Derek Martin's shop, it is something... Dillon Precision is a pretty cool tour, especially the airplane hanger. Hopefully they might have a mini-gun set up also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 Now that I have successfully located Casey's, you can call off the hounds! Please, no GQ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Phil, No, it's Long Wongs for wings and burgers Casey's for meals (not barfood) and just hanging out. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Dunlop Posted October 30, 2001 Author Share Posted October 30, 2001 Thanks Brian, my Scandinavian informant let me down on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Long Wongs for wings and burgers AMEN BROTHER BRIAN :-) Gawd I miss that place! We also use to hang out "The Vine" Friday nights - .10 wings and $1.50 pitchers!!!! Is Los Dos Molinas still there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 Phil, If you're into clays, head out to Ben Avery some evening. All the trap and skeet you can eat. You don't even have to drag your shotgun along, they rent Beretta 390's for $5 a night. It's a super deal. Have fun!! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Dunlop Posted November 6, 2001 Author Share Posted November 6, 2001 Thanks Eric, that sounds like a good night, see you all there, got to catch a plane.. P.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Kelly now that you know where to find Casey's and Long Wongs, you will successfully survive in Tempe. Even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Shooter grrl, Yes, Los Dos is still there, but it doesn't seem as "pure" as it used to. I think they had a big change in cooks and management (they were actually closed for months). But it's still not bad, really there is nothing else like around. Kellyn, Now that you can "survive in Tempe," do you know were Four Peaks is? Sorry. It's a great place to hang, especially if you like being outdoors... be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted November 7, 2001 Share Posted November 7, 2001 HA! I know exactly where 4 Peaks is. Nothing like a Kilt Lifter or Oatmeal Stout to ease the pain. They used to have an awesome garlic and clam pizza (!!!) but my wife and I were the only ones to ever order it. Sublime bar food! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
