I have shot at both of the long ranges. The BL range is 600 max with about 12 firing points and no target pits. When we do highpower matches it is done at 200 for that reason. On the plus side, you can hang steel I believe.

The CRC Long range is a true 1000 setup with true pits and target frames. Have 20 or more points I think and lines at 1000, 900,800,600,500,300,200 I think. Also has flags on the lines for wind calls during matches.

I have not used the pistol or short ranges at either.

Suggest you come out to each, best way is to pick a match open to the public and see what it is about.

Either place, you're gonna get sunburned and windblown!

The last time I checked Ben Lomond allowed 50BMG and Colorado Rifle Club did not allow 50BMG.

The people I talked to from CRC didn't seem to NFA friendly, I'm was told NFA is not allowed there. BLGC is NFA friendly.

If you're going to shoot either one you might want to check and confirm their written rules.

BS - they are "NFA Friendly". We run cans on our match rifles out there every month. Guys run SBR's in the short range berms and it's not uncommon to hear the report of full auto.

To the OP: I have been a member at both. Ben Lomand is fine, takes a while to get there from SE Aurora, limited to only 600 yds. CRC is off of I-70 and is a quicker trip. They have a 1000 YD KD range (1040-1050 yds if you put steel in the backstop) and a nice silhouette range out to 540. CRC is a larger facility and rarely crowded. The pistol berms at both are more than adequate.

Yes, it is windy at both but welcome to shooting in Colorado.

Can't be worse than the Whittington center?

My situation is the reverse of yours.

Go north from the Byers exit off the highway then make a left and go north on Calhoon Byers til you get to 96th. Then head east on 96th til you see the Rock at the entrance.

Head east from here until you see the entrance in the second pic
