Itinerary
- Transportation
Complimentary shuttle service is not available for single shooters. However, groups of 2 or more shooters can enjoy complimentary shuttle service with all Door Gunner packages. Need transportation for 1 Door Gunner? Book our Upgraded Door Gunner and receive complimentary Shuttle transportation.
Prefer to drive yourself? We recommend using a jeep, truck or SUV to reach our outdoor gun range. Because the scenic mountain roads can be rugged, we suggest requesting a Jeep for the smoothest ride. Private chauffeured transportation is also available for an additional fee—call for details. Please note: Uber, Lyft, and taxi services are not available for transport to or from the range. Complimentary shuttle transportation is subject to availability at the time of booking, and pickup times may be adjusted to meet qualifying transportation requests.
- Arrival
Our outdoor gun range is located approximately 45 minutes south of the Las Vegas Strip in Sandy Valley. Arriving more than 30 minutes late will result in a forfeited experience. We strongly recommend using the Waze navigation app for the most accurate directions. Reservations are required, and please ensure you are heading to our range—not our Las Vegas office—on the day of your experience. The range address will be included in your booking confirmation. Be mindful of your timing—we want you to make the most of your adventure! For full details, visit our tour policies.
- Briefing
Our professional range safety officers will provide a full safety briefing before your experience begins. Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and our team is committed to ensuring you have the most exciting—and secure—experience possible.
- Ready, Aim, Fire!
Climb into our open-door A-Star helicopter and prepare for an adrenaline rush like no other. This aircraft is among the safest and most popular commercial helicopters in the world, comfortably seating two passengers. Any last-minute questions will be answered before you’re lifted into the sky toward our aerial shooting range. Once airborne, you’ll take on the role of a door gunner, firing a M249 SAW at a variety of targets below.
- Departure
Following your unforgettable door gunner adventure, we’ll return you to your pickup point—but not before you check out our upgraded shooting packages. Our arsenal is unmatched! And ask yourself—how often do you get to fire from a helicopter at a 71-acre outdoor range in Las Vegas?
