Firing Line Range Question

[MrPrena]

Planning to go there today.
Just can't afford to drive long distance with baby and the mama.
Last time I went there was around 1996 and 2005.

My experience on 1996- dark... Very Dark.
My experience on 2005- smoky... Very Smoky.

if you live in thornton, WHAC is a good place to go. we just joined it couple weeks ago. it's only 30mins or so from thornton. http://www.wildlifehunters.com/

we have not been to other ranges in/around denver. but for the price and distance, WHAC is a simple choice. they also have regular events/matches free to member and public. cy is a great guy to deal with.

Any rifle up to 30.06 is welcome @ the Silver Bullet Shooting Range on 38th and Harlan in Wheat Ridge.
25 yds lanes.
Only limitations are no steel core bullets and no steel or alluminum cases.
See you there.

That place is alright, usually pretty busy in the afternoons, they also let you shoot full auto.

I think Firing Line is my preferred range at this point - I was strongly against it for a long time, and still have strong reservations about its ventilation (black boogers), but The Shootist seems to have slid downhill in recent times (bad lighting, ventilation doesn't run consistently).

Cherry Creek is too expensive and too restrictive.

Did that used to be under different management? I can't imagine there are 2 ranges in that general area, but the name doesn't sound familiar. I quit going down there 10+ years ago because there was this white supremacist vibe.

But maybe I should check it out again, it could have been just the guy working there at the time

Went to Firing Line on Wed afternoon. No waiting in line.
Seems like it was brighter, and they got the vent system on the back.
Not bad of a range for $12.

BTW, i accidently left my ID there. Gotta go there tomorrow again to pick up my ID.

Sounds like a great excuse to squeeze off a few more rounds!

hahaha! that is what Firing Line employee said!
I went there with the wife and the baby to pick up the ID.
Firing Line were real friendly and nice to my family.

Both the owner and the manager have hispanic last names.
Hardly a white supremacist place.
Not that there is anything wrong with that...
