Whistling Pines or Magnum

[colorider]

Just my 2c. I was in the springs for a 2 day pistol class. Had an extra day and popped into whistling pines not knowing it was a private range. They were SUPER friendly and let us shoot on the range anyway. Even charged us what I thought was too cheap of a fee. Afterwards, we got a tour of the place and chatted for about an hour. Extremely good experience and would join there in a flash if I lived there. Was very impressed with the facility and people.

how many 100 yard ranges at the wp west range?

There are five 100yard rifle lanes at wp west. All lanes have benches that you can 'pull back' if you want to use a mat (they have some for use). It's worth mentioning that they have coffee for members too.

I've been to seminars at WP West. I've shot a few times at Magnum. I (used to) believe each club was excellent....

Lately I've heard a few friends give less-than-glowing reviews about Magnum's staff. Pushing particular firearms too aggressively ... speaking unkindly to members and guests.

I do not enjoy shooting indoors. I'm a member at Pikes Peak Gun Club, where I really enjoy the people and staff. It's great that we have multiple locations in The Springs.

I’ve been a member at WP. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Tossing around the idea of becoming a member. Any fellow Colorado Springs shooters care to weigh in?

Are you a vet by chance? Magnum always has free shooting for vets so I wouldn't pay to join if I were you.
