Encroachment by housing is forcing a lot of clubs to close. The Phoenix Rod &amp; Gun Club is really nice, and they've been there since the 30's. They are located right next to the Phoenix Police Training Academy, up against South Mountain. They recently had an electronic gate installed. They give the code to members only so I like going during the week, after rush hour is over. I punch in the code, the automatic gate opens, and I've got the whole place to myself. They have several ranges, and it's a really nice place. It's built up around there but the Phoenix Police Dept. shoots all hours of the day and night and they're not about to kick them out so the location is very safe in that regard. I shop all the time at Randall's. I always try and buy from Davidsons on line thru them. Their prices and service are top notch. I'm just 2 miles from the new Cabela's and we have 3 Sportsmans Warehouses, and a Bass Pro Shop coming to Mesa later this year which is really nice. Like any big city, housing is getting very expensive, and it's getting crowded. Bill T.</p></blockquote><p></p>
