Newbie Looking for Place to Shoot

[brutal]

BLGC's requirements should be on the website. But there's no RO's except during events, and you can do any kind of shooting you want except artillery. Just clean up your mess and use common sense.

No officially scheduled RO's. There are many members that are RO's that are frequently at the range, and everyone I know is always on the lookout for safety issues regardless. I was supposed to get an RO badge but Dan kinda dropped the ball on that.

There is also a sticky thread on this section that may help you with your research. Good luck...

I actually prefer a more laissez-faire approach at a range BUT the people at the range have to be competent, courteous, and clean up after themselves for me to feel comfortable.

BLGC sounds like my style. Rondog, has there ever been any problems with anyone at the range?

I have no idea about any problem folks. Never seen any, but I don't get to go out there that often. Someone may stop by where you are to say hi, maybe discretely look to see if you're being safe, have eye/ear protection, no booze, BS a little, and then leave you alone. It's not hard at all to have a pistol or rifle range to yourself for most of the day, if not all day, it's seldom crowded. The exception might be the High Power range, which has maybe a dozen benches and target lines from 100 to 600 yards. The smaller pistol ranges, you can usually have to yourself.

It's 560 acres of club owned land, and all the ranchers/landowners all around are life members, so no bitching neighbors. There's portajohns and trash cans everywhere, a clubhouse with a relaxation area, big kitchen, bathrooms with lavatories and showers that are always unlocked, RV parking with hookups, picnic and camping area, 11 individual bermed ranges - 2 are 100yd. rifle, one 50 yd., the rest are handgun. There's a 500 yd. range for lead bullet rifles only, like blackpowder or cowboy. There's a shotgunning area, and archery area, a .22 silhouette range, and I think 6 new special use/competition pistol ranges.

And it's waaaay the hell out in East Jesus, and that alone deters most riff-raff from going out - they can't afford that much gas. Drive east from Castle Rock until you say "Jesus, where are we?", and East Jesus is farther east from there.

Rondog, you are right I looked on Google Earth.

How pasable is the road?--Looking at the road via Google, it looks a bit rough. I have a sports car and I don't want to ford a river to get to the range (sarcasm).

Thanks by the way

Drive till your butt hurts, then it's 19 more miles.

Gravel/dirt roads once you get off 86. No problem for cars, lotsa members drive low cars out there. Not so good for the paint.

[ImNtUrBuddyGuy]

Thanks! I will look into joining.

5 miles of dirt road but it ain't no thang. Roads at the range can be gummy when wet, might keep that in mind. Only real negative is wind and heat, but you'll get that anywhere. Never had a bug problem I can recall, other places I've been were awful.

Oh! Check the website, I think there's usually an Open House weekend every year, might be soon if they're having one again.
