IMO most of the range officers a whiny babies. They always seem to ignore the lighter calibers (up to about 30-30) but as soon as someone unleases something around an '06 or bigger they flip out and immediately go hassle them (which is an issue for me because I love the big boomers). I have been tempted to get a box the baddest production ammo I can for the .300 and go back there so when they start bitching me out about how unsafe it is I can just hand them the box. I've been to other ranges where they had "safety fits' because after every shot I would REMOVE THE BOLT then use a bore light and check for unburned powder on my test loads and record the result in a notebook. No bolt, no boom. duh. I personally would rather deal with the occasional blatantly unsafe individual at an open range than the whiny babies at the controlled range.

^yep!

I often times wonder which is the bigger risk or hassle. Driving up a spot in the hills where guys are drinking and firing a will, leaving a mess. Or, driving to a range, paying the money and having a bit of restriction to keep things safe. I really do not mind paying to have the safety, but do not want to be hassled with micromanagement. I had a good experience with Pawnee, but just a bit too far.

Our north spot is just east of 72 on 7 ...

Newton creek and the clamerkin are nice, the creek by Yarmouth is also good - I once took a 36 foot fin keeler up to Newport - and have no idea how much further you could go in a canoe.

Have fun.

I know several of you Denver Metro area guys are farther up north and west, but if you are willing to drive or for those of you further south and east there is Golden Gun Club out in Watkins, its a pretty nice range and the guys there are really nice. We use that range to qualify for work. There is also one out around Kiowa that a friend of mine goes to, I don't have the details on it, but I plan to go out there with him next weekend. Both ranges are strict on firearm safety, as well they should be. However they let you do things like draw from a holster and some of the more tactical type shooting. Definately worth looking into. I'll get details on the Kiowa range.

I've been wanting to check it out, but I'm a member at Ben Lomond, which is absolutely perfect for my style. I'm not into "firing line" places with people all around me. But it's just so far away, and CC is much closer. I need to at least check it out, maybe for an hour or so.

Will they allow M1's there?

Not sure of the name, but if Ben Lomond is near Kiowa then thats probably it. I can't imagine there are multiple ranges out in BFE lol.
