cherry creek family shooting center

[tmckay2]

hey all, i searched the forums some for info but couldn't find a clear answer. whats everyone take on the shooting center? i know $15 sucks, but its literally right across the street from me so i am considering it. is it well kept, have benches, decent people, etc? i used to go to rampart range but it was such a drive and well...you know...its rampart range, you have to say your prayers when you go. thanks for the info

It is a nice range. Very well kept, very orderly and well run. Too strict for me though. That added with the $7 to get into the park, and $15 to shoot...

Yeah, the range nazis are nice and helpful, but still range nazis.

The cost is steep for what you get, plus they pretty much demand your brass, But for a close, easy place to zero with minimal distraction, its ok for that. I don't use it for anything else.

Great safe place to shoot but the guys are right about too strict- 1 second between shots so if your an AR guy forget about mag dumps.They are AR friendly though so that's good. I've been friends with the owner and one of the nazi's for years and a fellow NRA instructor but I still struggle with some of the rules. That said I still like the safety factor for a public range.I haven't run into the brass problem but if it's in front of your position forget it ! If you live close and are going to go a lot get a year parks pass and some discount multiple range cards.

It is a great range during the weekdays only... and $22 fee is abit on the high side. I got into it w/ one of the safety officers when he grabbed my piece out of my bag without my permission. I dont think I ll ever come back. Typically, I go to Kelsey nowdays (20-30 min away from SW Denver) and its free!

ive never heard of the kelsey one before, whats the info on that one? i went to the cherry creek on the other day, its not too bad. i have a parks pass anyway, $15 isn't great but considering when you compare it to rampart i don't mind too much as its a nice set up and safe. the instructors were actually quite nice and answered some questions about reloading. also, its weird, but almost no one there collected brass so i got a ton of .223

Newton creek and the clamerkin are nice, the creek by Yarmouth is also good - I once took a 36 foot fin keeler up to Newport - and have no idea how much further you could go in a canoe.

Have fun.

I know several of you Denver Metro area guys are farther up north and west, but if you are willing to drive or for those of you further south and east there is Golden Gun Club out in Watkins, its a pretty nice range and the guys there are really nice. We use that range to qualify for work. There is also one out around Kiowa that a friend of mine goes to, I don't have the details on it, but I plan to go out there with him next weekend. Both ranges are strict on firearm safety, as well they should be. However they let you do things like draw from a holster and some of the more tactical type shooting. Definately worth looking into. I'll get details on the Kiowa range.

I have just moved from Texas to Longmont and would like some information on joining a gun club. I am an avid hunter who needs some information on hunter safety courses, places to shoot my guns, and places to hunt and how to go about it. I currently have leases in Texas and Arkansas, but that is a little far for weekend driving.

Appreciate any help!!!!!!
