Denver Indoor Ranges

It seems to me that a lot of the indoor ranges in Denver have a flat fee for shooting, no time limit. I'd much rather be able to buy 30 minutes and get in and out. I've been at Firing line waiting for people to leave, when they stop, come out, chat, leave a lane empty for 15 minutes. People don't do that when they have a time limit.

Firing line just asks about your ammo, Green Mountian checks it, so I don't think you can even preload your mags.

Yeah you can. They just want to see that you aren't shooting non-jacketed, lead stuff. All you need is to show them the box of ammo. Just save a box of WWB and throw whatever you want into it. I've never had them actually open it to see the rounds unless it was something obscure that they weren't familiar with.

You must have a trusting face, or I look like an ammo whore. They opened my boxes and checked the ammo- they said that people try to sneak in Wolf ammo in regular boxes. I some .223, and they were going to open all my boxes of FEd XM193! She opened one, saw the rest were unopened and let them in. I almost don't mind, they run a pretty tight ship over there. I've been places where sweeping people and unopened chambers are common.

I think the difference is that I was always shooting pistol, and haven't seen any common full lead pistol rounds.

the air vent system at the firing line is aweful - nice range though - some "basic supervision" would go a long way to improve safety over there.

I saw some terribly inappropriate firearms handling in the lobby of the silver bullet by 2 customers waiting to get a lane.

the shootist is skanky as hell, they make you buy their targets which arent cheap

I hear Green Mtn is super nice but pricey. and they will terminate your session after a minimum of 30 minutes if others are waiting

That's true, but I've NEVER had to wait for a lane there. Not once.
