I need a safe private range for one unique shooting lesson

I have the opportunity to introduce a naturalized citizen to shooting. I've been lucky to have introduced several foreigners to guns over the years and I am really anxious about this chance.

I want her to have a completely stress free enjoyable experience. I want it to be perfect. I'm happy to pay a good price for a completely private setting. Going out on public lands seems like a bad idea right now whether or not they are officially closed. Going to an indoor range or busy public range the first time would be simply awful.

Someone here must have a spot and be as excited as I am about making someone neutral/uncertain about guns into someone who is pro gun? I'll do this properly, one way or another.

Please feel free to PM me.

That's funny!

I take many foreigners/recently naturalized friends to gun ranges. In my experience, public or indoor range where there are plenty of other normal folks there are the best. Last thing you need is to make target shooting look as 'exclusive' or out of norm by taking him/her to a private and quiet range.

Or call an indoor range and find out when the slow times are. I don't think it will be a concern if there are a couple people there but I can definitely understand wanting to avoid the stress of a busy range.

The shootist during mid day any week day. Usually pretty quiet.

But inquiring minds want to know.

Most any range indoor or outdoor is going to be slow and/or quiet if you go in the late morning on a weekday.

Blucore's probably the best bet, and it's right there in Lakewood. Plus, training, and training women, is their specialty. I'm sure they'd make it a good experience for both of you. http://blucoreshootingcenter.com/

It's just been too damn hot to shoot outdoors and have any fun. I went to BLGC on the 4th and fried.

I've been there once and it was a horrible experience. A sample size of one, admittedly. It's a last resort.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Any woman that wants to go shooting has a certain amount of hotness in my book!

My experience has been much different, I've always had miles of BLM out my back door until moving to Denver. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Another vote for Shootist, the only thing is that there's no ventilation of any kind but the range officers are pretty cool there.

Agreed. I usually hit up the indoor range at 10am when they open mid week. Might be 1 other person in there.

I would spend some time somewhere not at the range and go over some basic firearm handling stuff before I hit the range if I were you. Just my opinion. Maybe get her/him familiar with the function of the firearm(s) you are going to be shooting and then take the next step to the range once alittle more comfortable with the operation/handling.
Sorry I dont have a private range for you. :)

We were out there for the 4th too!. Pretty decent Brats for some Colorado boys. :D

Shot the shit with everyone, ate a bite, then went to berm 10 for a few hours, roasted.

10, huh? I think I was on 9. If you heard someone cussing his Garand and rapid-firing M1 carbines to vent frustration, that was me.

Went there once, was very underwhelmed, and the lack of ventilation made want to never return.

I took a gun virgin to the range, Silver Bullet. Weekday, late 6pm. Nobody else there, we had a good, relaxed time to shoot. I did nothing but assist and make sure all was safe.
