Where to shoot .50 BMG near Denver?

Where can I take a .50 BMG rifle and my own steel targets near Denver?

I?ve looked into both Colorado Rifle Club and Golden Gun Club and both prohibit .50 BMG. Surely there?s somewhere that allows large calibers like this, right?

Maybe Pawnee Sportsmen's Center? I absolutely love shooting there. Great long range and more. Always a nice older gentlemen who checks you in.

Thanks! .50 doesn’t appear to be forbidden in their rules, so that’s looking like a good possibility. I’ve dropped them an email to verify, but it looks promising.

If you're a member or guest, BLGC allows 50 cal and we have a 600 yd range. I think our only large caliber "rule" is not shooting high power under 100yds (there's only one or two 50yd rifle ranges) and no incendiary. No steel when it's hot/dry.

It's a hike, 46 miles for me from Parker. Pawnee is a bit further depending on where in Denver you're coming from.

I think we're back to wait list status @BLGC, but worth looking into. Super cheap dues.

Sounds good! They have a thousand yard range, which is a ton of fun and will be with a .50 no doubt

That looks good, too. Both BLGC and Pawnee look to be the same 90min away from downtown, so I’ll have to try them both out.

What older gentleman? NVM i was a member there and never shot on weekends. It's a set steel range out to 1K, where 50 is not discouraged. BUT. they're set plates and you're not permitted out past the berm, to repaint them. Bring good spotting scope to get an idea where those 1K targets sit.

How far are you trying to shoot?

Can we dispense with the short names. I have no idea what y'all are talking about and I though I knew the area.

BLGC ?
NVM ?

Thank you and please carry on.

Ben Lomand Gun Club (some range that is far away in a direction I don't usually travel)

Nevermind (children came up with this text abbreviation and adults adopted it)
