The Shootist

[Wulf202]

Shootist Pistol Range
2980 S Galapago
Englewood, CO 80110 - 1448

(sante fe and dartmouth, east on dartmouth, first left, on the right)

(303) 781-3382

Ladies night is tuesday, half price.

12 (?) Lanes. Pistols and .22lr rifles only. Extra charge for big guns like 44mag and the like. No wolf ammo allowed.

They're open until 9pm some nights.

The rangemaster is a hypocrit (sp?) Everyone except him has to wear saftey glasses apparently. The ventilation is ok at best. The lighting is poor, or good depending on how far you set your target. The range is loud however, i've been to many indoor ranges and i'm gonna double up with earplugs/muffs next time i go. If you buy their ammo to get cheaper lane rates, it's over priced. $9.50 for 50 9mm.

Their shop does have a decent selection for a range/shop. Fair ammount of good deals on used guns, good holster selection.

Been there once when I qualified for the "Bail Enforcement" course. Expensive, but compared to the indoor range in the SPrings, I guess it's OK. (NOTE: Colorado Springs currently has NO indoor range). :roll: Karl.

I've been there several times. I always get weird looks from the guys that work there. Never had any problems though.


Rules are pretty lax and the Range officers leave pretty much everyone alone.

Prices seemed kinda high on ammo.

Somewhat decent selection of rental guns.

I've never had an issue with noise being too loud wearing only muffs.

It's located kind of out of the way a block east of santa fe.

All in all not a bad place, IMHO, but I wish there were more indoor ranges around to provide options.

I have been there a few times. The last time I went there, as I was leaving the range babysitter admonished me for spending too much time shooting given that I didn't purchase any overpriced ammo from them. I wrote the owner a letter explaining why I would not return if he did not remedy the situation, I never heard back from him, so I haven't returned.

I stopped by here today. Not a bad place really. People were very friendly and I probably could have spent the day chatting with them and the other shooters as they came and went. Yeah I was there for a while.

5 lanes, air was breathable and light was fine for me.

Prices are not bad. $16 range fee UNLESS you buy a box of their ammo then its $11. So you can get a box of 45ACP for about $8. Yearly memberships start on the 1st of the year for $100. $50 now. Memeber shoot for $10 I believe it was. Plus they will toss in a couple of free guest passes.


It seems like a pretty decent place. Especially when you consider the (limited) alternatives.

I bought my XD9 from them last year. Been shooting there since. The 9mm 50-round boxes I bought from them were only $7.75 apiece. I buy one box of ammo from them to get the discounted range fee, then use the Wal*Mart WWB ammo that I bring in. Seems to work well.

I would think it is the best deal around, compared to The Silver Bullet in Wheat Ridge.

The ladies behind the counter were friendly and liked to talk. Didn't mind me walking around the store for a bit after I was done shooting. Overall, I think it is a good combination of nice people and reasonable prices that will keep me going back.

I like it. I can set up multiple IPSA targets in hostage poses and draw from holster (and rapid fire) without being looked at as freaky. The fact that they treat you as an adult makes the 16.00 all worthwhile to me as well. The ventilation has been upgraded and as for low light conditions, I say the more the better, it tests you under adverse conditions.

The people there are nice, but it is a bit pricey. They recycle their brass, so they are picky about what ammo they allow (as previosuly mentioned, no Wolf). Also, they wouldn't let my buddy shoot .357, and he had to buy .38 from them. Not nearly as fun to shoot....

[micah360]

They don't allow Wolf because the rounds are known to bounce back.

Next time you're there, look at the clock on the wall above the range office, it has a hole in it cause of a Wolf round.

sorry for bringing this thread up from the dead.


Does anyone have experience with their trade-in program? If any?
