Ranges that allow shoot and move.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

I hope you are all doing good.

My quick question is, I have been looking to train on how to move and shoot with rifle and pistol, I have searched but so far my questions are half answered and/or I still have my doubts, basically I am looking for a range ( public or private ) that will permit me to train in many forms of shooting, for example; Walk as I shoot, move fast and shoot, kneel, prone and such.

I would greatly appreciate some feed back on this, since I am looking to train on more than just stand still and shoot the paper target.

Thank you in advance.

Harris Park maybe?

This. I've also done it at public ranges when no one else was there :p

Good question, unfortunately you're not going to find many ranges around Denver that are conducive to moving and firing. You'll hear LIABILITY and "our insurance carrier blah blah blah..." Go find you some nice Nat'l Forest property and do as you please for free.

BLGC.ORG

Check out Lead Valley Range. I have not been active there for a couple years, but move and shoot drills were allowed on the private berms as long as all range rules were followed. Ironically the private berms were kinda(varied a little berm/berm) tight in width and not always the most conducive to move and shoot drills but we made it work for our needs.

Pueblo West

If you're up to it go find yourself a pistol or 3-gun match. If you go with the right mindset it's a good way to train.

Thank you all for the information, I shall look up the ranges specified, as for looking for a spot in a National Forest, I know very little of Colorado's National Forest, since have not explored much of CO, only been here for a year now, I love it so far. The 3-gun match hmm it does seem like fun :D

Thank you once again !

If you are going to a public range (forrest pawnee etc) you should always have a loaded gun with you when reloading checking targets etc
You don't want someone shooting you with your own guns

Those places skeeve me out

It's not a bad range. The only problem is you can't shoot into the side berms. So not perfect for practicing USPSA/3gun style shooting.

Also Colorado Rifle Club (not far from Lead Valley) when you get the $10 flag and sign off for dynamic shooting.

Clear Creek Sportsman's Club - www.cccsclub.com

Ben Lomond Gun Club - www.blgc.org

Both of these ranges will allow you to practice using all the shooting and moving skills that are used in USPSA or 3-Gun matches. This is the primary reason I am a member at both of these clubs.

Thank you Gentlemen for the provided information, I greatly appreciate it.

Never know when the need to lay down cover fire will arise. ;)

Last I checked the wait time on Clear Creek was 2 years for people who are not residents of Clear Creek County.

CRC is accepting memberships as far as I know. Not sure about BLGC.

Never hurts to be on the waiting list for BLGC. Members come and go. Some can't abide by club rules and get the boot.

Thank you Sir.

Frontier sportsman's club has 2 ranges at the fountain range that have unlimited uses. I have set up steel and stands. they both have about 300° berm coverage.

don't know earl and nothing comes up in the member search. i put my name on the list probably 8 months ago. frankly all i want is to be able to shoot at night--probably would never even go in the daytime--i need a nighttime only membership!

He has not logged on in over a year. You could always call Hickman Rifles and talk to him.

it never occurred to me that the user "Earl-Hickman" was the same Earl associated with the range.

I've been to the Hanover range many times over the last 2 years on a beautiful Saturday and had the whole facility to myself. I rarely shoot at any of the ranges other than the 2 "free use" ranges because I love setting up steel and having those 40' berms all around.

I haven't been there at night, but it would be fun (and educational) to do a night shoot some time. Heck, you can even camp there if that is your sort of thing.

I've found that Earl responds fairly guickly to his email listed on the Frontier site. That might be your best bet. Or his wife responds from her mobile device as well.

I dont worry much about two legged threats out there. However, last time I was in Pawnee had a close call with a Rattle Snake. Almost bit my dog. I was happy to have a gun on the ready then....

Front range gun club does a fun gun night about once a month where you get to move and shoot. Every time is different. Sometimes in the dark. Sometimes dragging a "body". Shooting while moving, shooting while behind cover....
