Looks super luxo- even for employees. Can't imagine what the memberships will cost next year.

Looks super luxo- even for employees. Can't imagine what the memberships will cost next year.
I wonder how expensive those ranges would be....
They have to be able to support the facilities and make a profit- so figure that the nicer it is, the more it will cost. Looks pretty nice to me.
As I understand it. They are providing a 30% discount now on membership. That goes away. The monthly fee is not suppose to change. I got 10% off by paying a full year up front
Construction began on the new facility in early June 2013. It is constructed of precast concrete and so the exterior of the building should be up by the end of July at the latest. Initiation fees are 30% off right now and we are offering 10% off on dues for those who pay the full year in advance. Individual, Couple, Family and Group memberships are available. Full cost of the facility is north of $10 million. Having said that, we think that $29.95 a month for unlimited usage of the range would be a good value for most shooters. Website is www.gunstorecentennial.com. BTW, to OP, I apologize for the way your request was handled and would be happy to try and make it right. We try hard to offer enhanced customer service and it sounds like we dropped the ball this time. As an aside, I am involved with this facility and am happy to answer any questions or receive any feedback you may have. Thanks!
Construction has begun. See www.centennialgunclub.com for more details. Exterior of the building should be up by the end of July at the latest. Membership is based on a one time initiation fee and $29.95 a month for unlimited usage of the range. Pretty reasonable for active shooters. I am happy to answer any questions you may have as I am one of the principles in the project. Thanks!
BUMP with my bad experience!
I am very disappointed with Centennial Gun Store. I bought few hundred bucks worth of lowers and LPKs during their Veteran day discount only to find out later on that night that 4 of the lowers were out of spec. I confirmed it the next morning with Bowers Tactical few miles down the street. I expected the problem to be solved with ease. After all, The gun store have been treating me right during the few range visit and other past purchases.
Was I wrong! First, they insisted the lowers were mil spec and that all serial numbered items are not refundable. So after arguing back and forth, I convinced the young man to pull one of their brand new LPK off the shelf and to show me how it's "done."
Well, not even the take down pin could fit into any of the 4 lowers.
Next, whom I assumed the manager took over the matter, but will not refund my money. I am ok with store credit as I dont feel like to waste anymore of my time there -- Nevertheless, he insisted that those out of spec AR-15 lowers were just fine. That just tickles me.
Well, another lesson learnt. I will not go to Centennial Gun Store for any kind of AR-15 related item or advice. There are too many good stores in the area.
So are the gun store on Arapaho and the gun club related? I thought they just have similar names.

FYI, members only opening was on Saturday, Jan 4th,
Open to the public Sunday Jan 5th.........28 lanes, 25 yards indoor, 5000 square feet of retail space,
Yep, I know, ammo prices are high......but they got ammo!!!!! New state of the art electronic target systems, great ventilation, nice lounge area.
FWIW......
Sigh.. Still avoiding centennial gun club at all cost!
You didn't listen to me.... FacepalmQuote:

Well, my son and I went there on Sunday not realizing it was the grand opening of the new facility. I bought a new pistol and wanted to work it out, but since it was so darn cold wanted to go to an indoor range. We got an 11am slot and went over. Signup process was fast and it was clear that they had done this before. Lots of people there because of the grand opening hype, but their processes worked efficiently. ROs were observant, polite and helpful. Not overbearing like at some places. The guy in the lane next to use was shooting an AR, which was loud, but the barrier helped reduce most of the shock waves. A little pricey, but hey, we were out of the cold. Overall, we had a very good experience and I would do it again.
I have a friend who is a member, and she likes it because she feels safer shooting in a controlled environment, rather than up in the hills. I prefer to shoot outdoors, and since most of the time the weather in Colorado is nice, not sure I see the benefit of an expensive membership at this time. Prices on ammo, firearms and FFL transfers were tipped to the high side, so they would not be my first choice for these items.
Overall, a very nice, professional facility and it is good to have more options available for shooters of all types.
Chunky Monkey........PM me with complaint, I think I read about it earlier. Everyone stumbles, and its not the way to do business. Have had some turnover of management for the better..........
Its still one of the top indoor shooting facilities in the country and its right here.
I had a membership to this range before they expanded to the second building. I declined to renew when they only had the 6 lanes in the first location. They WAY over subscribed the membership for that mini range and the only way to get a lane reserved is if you put in a reservation 3 - 4 days in advance. Maybe it will be worth joining again, but I want to give it a good 6 months to see if the same over subscription issue happens again. Its pointless to pay for a "Membership" to a range when there are 87923427923498792340981234 members.
Maybe I'm just too sensitive, but I have never received any service from there. Just glaring eyes, like I'm a thug with no money and there to window shop. Asked a simple question to test their knowledge and was immediately belittled.Quote:

Firearms arrive from FFLs, takes them weeks to enter everything and for them to call you.
TNT I'd rather shoot outdoors, deal with a smaller shop where they care about returning customers.
I can understand the bad customer service turning folks off along with the higher prices turning people away.
I joined s my wife would take practice and no just put her new sig in the safe and leave it there. Our experience has been good relative to the range. The range masters are not over bearing and helpful with advice. Sign up has never been a problem for us even when they had 6 lanes. The new facility is awesome. The range membership isn't cheap, but its close and my wife likes it. She goes to ladies night there which is free with a class. She talked one of her friends into joining.
Store prices are high, but they do have sales now and then that make the prices reasonable on ammo and accessories. I only buy there during a big sale. Otherwise I buy elsewhere
Sorry you guys had a bad experience and there never is an excuse for bad service. It has been good for us for what were looking for. A close nice range an we are prepared to pay a little more for the convenience
I have only shot there once (in the past), and bought ammo for the gun at the same time. Guys were cool to me!
Since then I started manufacturing guns, I always walk in looking rugged; because I work a lot. Never alluded to being a manufacture, and they have always been cool! I have been there several times, never been talked down to nor, looked at in a wrong way. I can honestly say I have never seen them talk down to anyone, and always nice cool guys.
Now from the other side of things; as a manufacture, (and them buying rifles from me), I have had the opportunity to get behind the counter and observe them. They are cool guys, answering peoples questions, and very respectful!
The newest facility is beyond belief, and one amazing top of the line place!! Best I have seen in Colorado, or anywhere else period! I can not speak from the point of being a member, and if it is hard to get in to shoot though.
Will you ever sold few out of spec AR lowers and refused to refund your customer? This is despite the fact that their own guy was trying to show me how to install the LPK and failed miserably because few things were out of specs.
I know you two are Asian decent.
My self being Asian decent, I will go visit there just to see how the service is there... [LOL]

We decided to check it out, and were very up front about our expectations vs. the shabby treatment we received at another facility. They gave us a tour of the facility. It's incredibly impressive!
It's well-lit. Clean. It smelled good. There are many classrooms, and a conference room. Many types of training. Women are not second-class citizens there. The range itself was vey nice and the range masters were extremely helpful and not cocky jerks showing off for their buddies. It's close by.
We had a very good experience, and will go back there because of that.
I'm a member at Centennial Gun Club. It's a nice place to shoot if you shoot 2-3 times a month; well worth the money in my opinion. The people there I have dealt with have always been courteous. I would never advise anyone to buy a gun there as their prices are well above the normal street prices. The only time I have bought a gun there is when they have a sale. Ammo prices are a little high, but not obnoxious. Just my two cents.
I wonder if this is the same place I called and they wanted $75 for transfer? Hmmmmm.............
I stopped in there today because I had the free hour coupon. The lady at the counter for the range was extremely nice and called me by name throughout my time at the range. The RO was nice, let me know they had a free contest and let me participate.
However, when I walked around the store nobody helped me for the first 15 min. Finally someone helped me and interrupts me asking a question and starts talking to someone that was leaving (High ups from some manufacturer). He carries on that conversation for a few minutes, and then I just walked away.
I will return for their range as it was the nicest range ive been to, but I wont spend a penny for retail.
I joined a week ago for the range. Definitely the nicest one around and only 20 minutes from my house. I've found the people there to be friendly and solid in their knowledge base.
I haven't shot at the new facility, but I went there pretty regularly when I was working out of South Denver. Probably went about ten times in four months. Every time, the range crew were very nice to me and my guests, the experience was pleasant, and they were NFA friendly. I thought their pricing model appeared to be on the high side of retail, but I also thought their range fees were reasonable, and they were pretty flexible with what constituted an hour when the range wasn't packed. I'd shoot there again.
Extremely nice facility with astronomically high prices. I know a retail store like that can't compete with Walmart pricing and I'm willing to pay a little more for ammo at a LGS to support those who support me but they're nearly 75% more expensive sometimes than the Wmart that is 90 seconds away from them that usually has a better selection than they do. I think their target customer has a lot more money than I do. Bummer because it's right across the street from my office.

So, Just got back from checking out the club, shop, and membership…
VERY DISAPPOINTED...
Mostly disappointed in the attitude of one of the sales staff and the person handling new memberships. The membership person did not give me their full attention, they continued to work on the computer rather than address my questions first. They also weren't very personable and a bit condescending in their tone. Didn't appear to me that they wanted or needed members. He also didn't seem to know all the member benefits and discounts as in what they entailed as I'd have to ask very specifically. I would think they'd try their best to pump up the club, but not so.
Then I overheard one of the salesman talking to a customer who was looking at one of their 50% off ARs. The salesman said he'd keep the upper and junk the lower… Okay I appreciate and want honesty. But if I was the shop owner, its not something I'd want from my employee to call our stuff crap... If the lower is indeed crap, then they should do something about the quality of the lower..
Needless to say, I didn't join….
I hate that place so much! HATE!!

Last time I went in there dude begind the counter was wearing a plate carrier with spray painted mags, and tacti-cool gear out the yin-yang. Nothing wrong with plate carriers it just looked very show offy. I dont know how else to describe the feeling.
Meanwhile His fellow employee was demonstrating how to shoulder a rifle (read how NOT to shoulder a rifle) as he was fervently trying to do his best impression of Chris Costa.... with the rifles muzzle 6 ft from another customers head, not like within 6ft. But directly aimed at a person who up until that point was probably interested in purchasing something or another. Instead that customer looking annoyed stepped away as did I.
The fact that place is still in business amazes me. I stopped by recently to check out a particular brand of safe they had, then wasted some time looking around. Don't plan to go back.
Just finished my first set of reloads, and thinking of going in during lunch. Problem is that everyone I work with is always around, and I don't know how easy it will be for me to scoot in off the radar. I want to go when it's slow so I can get in, test my loads, and get out. Any advice?

They did; they bought a whole lot of Double D Armory, LTD lowers, and used them in place of the "crap" ones.Quote:
