Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
It is a nice range. Very well kept, very orderly and well run. Too strict for me though. That added with the $7 to get into the park, and $15 to shoot...

Yeah, the range nazis are nice and helpful, but still range nazis.
The cost is steep for what you get, plus they pretty much demand your brass, But for a close, easy place to zero with minimal distraction, its ok for that. I don't use it for anything else.
Great safe place to shoot but the guys are right about too strict- 1 second between shots so if your an AR guy forget about mag dumps.They are AR friendly though so that's good. I've been friends with the owner and one of the nazi's for years and a fellow NRA instructor but I still struggle with some of the rules. That said I still like the safety factor for a public range.I haven't run into the brass problem but if it's in front of your position forget it ! If you live close and are going to go a lot get a year parks pass and some discount multiple range cards.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
It is a great range during the weekdays only... and $22 fee is abit on the high side. I got into it w/ one of the safety officers when he grabbed my piece out of my bag without my permission. I dont think I ll ever come back. Typically, I go to Kelsey nowdays (20-30 min away from SW Denver) and its free!
ive never heard of the kelsey one before, whats the info on that one? i went to the cherry creek on the other day, its not too bad. i have a parks pass anyway, $15 isn't great but considering when you compare it to rampart i don't mind too much as its a nice set up and safe. the instructors were actually quite nice and answered some questions about reloading. also, its weird, but almost no one there collected brass so i got a ton of .223
Went there once and they had kittens when I ran some full max loads through the .300. Said they saw 1'+ of flame out of the barrel which "wasn't safe". I'll never go back.
at $15 its expensive
I like that the guys are strict
a lot of people need those guys to keep the rest of us safe
even with the tight range officers I have seen plenty of inapproprate firearms handling, its freaking scary what some people do
they even caught me once or twice - I thanked them for keeping "us" safe
