Best club to belong to within reasonable driving distance to Denver

[def90]

Boulder rifle club has something like a 5-8 year waitlist, also they don't really have any pistol/rifle bays, just ranges with designated and covered shooting benches.. If I had just signed up when I moved here I would have been a member a decade ago.

Empire gun club....... hands down. I am a member there and shoot there about 3to4 times a month. As well as night shooting with nods and white light. If you are a competent gun handler you can use it to train. I use it to train for USPSA, tac rifle and 2 gun. Its an awesome place and in about a week or so the 400 yard bay should open up, which is even better. Its 59 mins from my doorstep in Denver to the range. It has recently hosted Warrior Poet Society and other great training classes. Check it out and let the owner(Kyle) know that Matt T sent ya! See ya out there!
They are currently accepting new members for 2022 also!

GGC is a great place to shoot.
I have been a member for years and shoot 50-550yds weekly.
However,there are no bays, just designated shooting benches.
If a move and shoot deal is what you are looking for, definitively BLGC or Lead Valley.

Is CRC still the best place close to Denver with outdoor shooting bays where you can practice the stuff that you learn in your tactical handgun and carbine classes?

Sucks to take classes and then be limited at local ranges to not being able to draw from a holster, practice mag changes, rapid fire or rifle to handgun transitions and so on.

How about looking NE. Weld Cty fish & wildlife. Also known as the Galeton Range has numerous shooting bays. The first one on the line is the R.O, we were members there for 25 yrs, till we moved.
