    I thought Cherry Creek was an outdoor facility? Or am I thinking of something else?

    Damage Factory just put in a range next door to their shop. Might want to take a look and see if it meets your needs.

    I’m a member, they’ve made some ventilation improvements over the years. I shoot mostly jacketed or powder coated bullets but lubed cast bullets can be a little smoky. I retain my membership mainly to have access to the 100 yard rifle tube so I can do load development for my rifles.

    I am a member too, I've never been there when there were more than to maybe three other members max on either the east or west pistol range and ventilation was never an issue. The beauty of membership there is the key card based 24x7x365 access and no RO to bother you.

    2 Am and can't sleep???? Hit the range and work on your trigger time. Just don't forget to turn off the lights when you are done.

    Yes, just make sure you check the cameras before you step out and do a security sweep as you do............
    I've been there at odd times and "walkers" have been checking my ride..........

    I am very interested in joining. I live not far from there and am sick of public ranges.

    I would like to get a tour of the place and discuss the rules as far as making sure what ammo is allowed, and a million other questions I have.

    Yes, I have read all the information on the site. I still have questions.

    Can you members help me in this? Or tell me who to contact to check out the facilities and discuss membership.

    I took a tour a couple weeks ago.

    Old but clean. Two sides with ten lanes each. At the end is a water trough below 45 degree steel plates. Bullets hit the plates and are directed into the water.

    No steel jacketed ammo or AP rounds. Three lanes for magnum.

    No shotguns, which kinda sucks. It would be nice to pattern turkey loads and chokes.

    The place is very bright. Good ventilation. A chronograph on one lane.

    The rifle tube is an 8 foot diameter culvert, 100 yards long. Three shooting positions, two for right handers and one for left. Chronos for each side and spotting scopes.

    You have to have a separate two hour orientation and qualification to use it.

    400 members. I toured it on a weekday afternoon and there were two other guys there. Everyone mentioned it must be a busy day.

    I really like no range fees.

    I liked it enough to put in my application and was voted in as a new member.
