Sounds like a new idea.

I’m curious what their policy is for when a person wants to have a drink after using the range. If they require people to put their firearms in the car, it will be a great invitation for shitheads to break into cars and take them. That area is pretty popular already with shit being stolen out of cars.

$300 plus $50 per month, on sale. Normally $540 and $80.

If you shoot a lot, that's not horrible, I guess.

From their website:
"Use only official targets properly placed in front of the backstop. Humanistic picture targets are not permitted discretion of the RSO)"
Humanistic targets?
"Humanistic targets"???
WTH is that supposed to mean?
I assume they mean silhouettes.
What, we are going to hurt someone's feelings?
Woke bullshit.
I'll pass...

Haven’t you ever seen the pictures of “bad guys” holding kids hostage or holding weapons? They’re legit pictures of humans made as targets :)

This place has been happily supporting woke BS since they announced they were going to open.

I was eagerly waiting for the founding memberships to open for sale almost a year ago so I could join. Then they said they were celebrating LGBT on their FB and changed my mind.

People can bang whoever the hell they want, I'm sick of them demanding everyone celebrate them for it. Heaven forbid we keep our bedroom business private anymore.

But, in any case, glad I didn't because I would have been pretty upset if I paid for that almost a year before they opened. (They advertised that it would open last fall)

Those stupid zombie targets are "humanistic".

IDPA targets are "humanistic" as well.

I am glad you asked the question.
Their best efforts at keeping shooting and alcohol separate seem a bit onerous for me.
Their Policy
POLICIES & PROCEDURES
Safety is our number one priority throughout the entire facility. To ensure all can responsibly enjoy their time on the range and in The Barrel Room, we have a few key protocols in place that are mandatory for all guests and Members:
Prior to entering The Barrel Room:
We ask that you first secure your firearm in your car or within our complimentary valet lockers. Please see concierge for additional detail.
Upon check-in within The Barrel Room:
All guests are required to provide a valid government-issued ID. Identification is required for anyone who enters The Barrel Room and plans to consume alcohol.
Your form of ID will be scanned and automatically sent to our Range check-in system, prohibiting you from using the range for the remainder of the day.
After leaving The Barrel Room:
If you left your firearm within a valet locker, please pull your vehicle to the designated parking spot at the front of our building. Our Concierge will gladly retrieve your items and place it in your trunk.
Should you be unable to take your firearm home, please retrieve it within 24 hours or we will have to issue a background check to return your items.

Looks like a solid policy. Hopefully people opt for the valet/Concierge service for their gun storage. There is a shitload of cars broken into in that area.

Denver metro in general.Take your firearm stickers off your vehicles peeps.

Fully tactical lane with no humanistic targets? Seems like there may be an issue there. I certainly won't be going but mostly because I hate indoor ranges.

[colorider]

The no humanistic targets policy is really dumb. It will be interesting if they keep that policy as time goes on. I may stop by this week if I have some free time during the work day and I'm in the area

Cant we just be happy there is a new range in town?

[battlemidget]

I hope whoever owns it makes bucketloads of money.

Stopped by today to check it out. They spent a lot of money making things look fancy. Lots of space in the retail area that will hopefully get filled with more displays of stuff. Right now it looks kind of unfinished because there is so much open space. They also need more items to sell. Kind of a limited selection of goodies. The ranges are super fancy looking with great lighting. They are not very big and they should have made for more space behind the shooting stalls. Will be kind of cramped if every stall is being used and everyone has a range bag, rifle case, bag or whatever else. One of the ranges has a glass section that looks into the range check in area. The bullet proof glass they used isn't thick enough, as the sound front the range is amazingly loud in the store/check in area. there were only 2 pistol shooters in the range and the sound was loud enough in the check in area that I could not hear what one of the employees was saying. You can hear the shooting from anywhere in the whole facility. The coffee bar looks nice. The restaurant and bar is really nice. They did a hell of a job with that!!!! I was there at 12:30 and there was nobody in the restaurant/bar and there were 2 people using the range. Total of 3 patrons. The staff was very friendly and nice and the RO I chatted with was very nice. Did not use the range. My opinion is that it is a really cool shooting range, but it's going to take a LOT of advertising, promotions, great word of mouth, cheaper membership prices in order to stay afloat. A ton of money went into the place and word on the street so far is that they are not bringing in many customers. Their pictures on their website are very generous as far as how the space looks and feels. I really hope they are successful and make big bucks!!!! The place is cool looking.

Have started to see their ads on TV.
They are promoting it as an exclusive premium club.
I wish them good sales.

[hollohas]

Being a good 7-8 months late to open took some wind out of their sails I suspect.

Being the closest range to my house, I was interested in a membership but the pricing is pretty high in my opinion. I don't care about all the fancy extras. Just want a decent range to shoot at. Hopefully they adjust their pricing for memberships to better compete with the other ranges.
