Trigger Time Gun Club and Colorado Rifle Club have been added.
thanks thought i would post for others to enjoy!
Just on the north end of Canon City the Royal Gorge Gun Club has a really good, and from what I've seen- under utilized range. Membership is required, and bring your own targets. They have a rimfire bay, pistol bays, Trap house, and rifle range (with pits) to 1300 yds. Shot a few of their pistol matches over the summer, pretty informal standard IDPA type shoots, same 8-12 shooters every time. Don't know if this place isn't getting used intentionally, if there are issues with range/club authority, or if nobody knows about it. Figured I'd toss it out there.

Thanks SA Friday for the post. I love the Google Maps link!
East of Sterling is the Red Hill Gun Club. It's private, costs about $100 the first year and then goes down to $50 or something like that (I can't remember what I paid last year) depending if you take part in the annual clean up day.
No RO so it's informal and you have to provide your own targets of course. Has a pistol area out to 100 yards, and 50, 100, and 200 yard ranges. It also has a 235 yard metal gong and if no one else is there there is a table set 100 yards back from the others that makes it a 300 yard range.
When you get your membership they give you a key to the gate and you can bring as many guests at a time as you want.
You just have to watch out for the cattle that wander through every once in a while.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the rifle tables are 4-6" concrete in a T shape with 6-8" steel pipe sunk into the ground for bases, rock solid.
