Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Near Longmont/Boulder? Need a place?
Wildlife Hunters Association of Colorado has a range out in Brighton, about 30 minutes from Longmont, that is pretty darned decent. They have a contingent of action pistoleros, plus rifle ranges out to 400 yards.
Dues are $275 to start out, and as of last week, they didn't have a waiting list to join.

Thanks for the info.
I'm going to have to check this place out in person. I've been looking for a good range for awhile now.
Google maps says about 1 hour from Boulder and Longmont from the directions I got from the website.

Depends on how one drives, though I could be mistaken on exactly how far out it is, I was estimating,.Originally Posted by LeJerk
LeJerk is right, our range is located approximately 50 minutes from Boulder and about 40 minutes from Longmont (depending on traffic and specific location).
We have quite a few members from the Boulder/Longmont area that have chosen to join our range because the wait list at the Boulder Rifle Club is a bit long and it would take them several years to earn a spot at that range.
Cysoto, are memberships still available ? What kind of activities are allowed, like USPSA / IPSC practice ?
According to the website, they do allow that sort of practice. I believe they also have a practical pistol league.
Interesting... Is the range open some days, so someone could just stop by (without any firearms) and take a closer look of the range ?
Cy was very happy to offer to take me out to show me around the range before I joined...having been a rampart shooter a long time, I opted to simply join, figuring it couldn't be that bad.
Worst case, I'm happy to take you as a guest (assuming that's allowed cy?)
Wow, lots of questions!!Let me try to address them all...
We have two monthly pistol competitions that are open to non-members. One of them is a Bowling Pins Shoot that we hold on the first Saturday of every month and the other is a Defensive Pistol Match that is shot on the fourth Saturday of every month. This last one follows the rules and guidelines of IDPA but with two variations: we don't enforce the use of a cover garment and we only load magazines with eight rounds each (we have a lot of 1911 shooter and they don't want to be beat by the "10-rounders").
We allow and encourage members to setup and practice courses of fire that require movement (IDPA/USPSA style). I try to make it to the range at least twice a week to practice some "run-and-gunning" and I always love when I can meet up with some of our members to practice these. There is a lot that I can learn when someone is looking and pointing out mistakes that I may be inadvertently doing. (You would think that with all this practice I would be a better shooter but sadly I am still a lowly "B" shooter).
Guests are most certainly allowed at the range. We ask of them to please read and sign a waiver form and to wear an ID cards that identifies them as 'VISITOR'. There is no charge to them but they must be accompanied by a member.
We don't have a full-time Range Officer but I live really close to the range so anytime a person would like to come visit us for a tour, I am happy to accompany them; they just need to call me to setup an appointment (my phone number is on our website). The other option is to come visit us at one of our schedule events which, like I mentioned before, are open to non-members.
I hope I have answered all the questions and, if I didn't, feel free to contact me either through this site or through my contact info found in our webpage.
Thank you all for your interest and Thank You DeltaKilo for presenting our range as an option to those who may be looking for a place to shoot.
