Thought I'd show myself in case any of you see me around. (Oh and I hate Cherry Creek Shooting Cntr)

Anytime people are shooting the big caliber handguns at FL, the boom can be heard from the front door (almost). Kind of ruins the experience for others on the range, imho. I'm sure it's the same at other indoor ranges.

I live a Block north of Silver Bulet and I can hear the range on most nights. Their sound insulation is lacking to say the least add that to the fact their backstop was upgraded to allow for large rifle calibers. What a joy it must be to be teaching your boy how to shoot his new .22 when in the lane next to you some guy decides to bring in his 16 inch .308 to shoot at 25 yards in a small enclosed space.

I have had them:
Offer to help me save my brass

Depends on the range employee his exact words to me "we have to sweep it up people have a tendency to slip and fall on it"

Notify me when a pistol lane became open while I was on the rifle side.

If you have signed up for both I would suspect that to be a necessity

Leave me in peace to shoot.

Depends on the day, the range employee, and your actions

There are things that are a tick frustrating like the one second delay between shots.

I would so want to have a shot timer with me and show it "It says 1.2 seconds here what's your problem" as when people were clearly waiting a second they came over to tell people "that's a real second people not a New York second" If you are shooting faster that 3 or 4 seconds they will get on you quick.

Oh, and yeah it can be loud there, it is after all a public place and can get crowded.

Hence the acknowledgement of their need for some of their methodology

Thank God we aren't doing something loud and distracting like shooting firearms...

I sense your sarcasm and return it to you in a sarcastic manner sir.

Yeah, last time I was at FL to shoot was over 2 years ago. Just about any indoor range can get uncomfortably loud if the guy next to you is shooting a .44 mag or .500 SW. Usually if I go to CC it's because I'm bringing multiple firearms and will usually hit at least the pistol and rifle lines and might take a shotgun to pattern for turkey rounds or buckshot.

The picture below is a perfect example as to why some people quickly get in trouble at Cherry Creek. I shot at this range for years and it was considered absolutely unsafe to uncase a firearm at the line. You were expected to uncase behind the line and bring an unloaded weapon up to the line in a safe manner. Having something ingrained into your rage habits can lead to a problem if you did not clearly hear, read, or understand Cherry Creeks rules on the subject. I prefer the uncase behind the line approach and think it is silly that Cherry Creek also expects you to wait til a range officer is present at your position before doing so.

I would like to add that I also preferred the "Shooters only on the firing line approach" as it prevented a lot of problems that Cherry Creek is trying to avoid with their requirements and led to a more serious environment in which to concentrate on your own shooting skills and safety.

Ahhhh......BLGC, this is the life! I was actually dialing in my pellet rifle here. I'm usually at one of the 100 yd. ranges, and prefer to put my target stand right up close to the berm.

All excellent reasons why I have not, nor will I ever, frequent an indoor range. An outdoor gun club, possibly. But I get my shooting done in the national forest, and I shoot however I feel that day. Range nazis would ruin the experience for me.

I've been to the Cherry Creek rifle/pistol range once.....never again. Hard to enjoy yourself while being yelled at (Actually, that bolt is locked back....look closer asshole).

I'll stick to private ranges or shoot in the mountains.

It's my own fault, I just did not want to drive out to CRC today. I need to spend the summer scouting the mountains for a spot to shoot long range at gongs. Most people that know of good spots are understandably unwilling to share their knowledge of such spots. (Doesn't help that I have not been sociable enough to get to know a lot of other shooters with similar interest)

The fact that most organized events around the State are almost invariably on Saturdays does little to help as well (I have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday off).

I hate Cherry Creeks rifle and pistol line. There is always a RO with a Napoleon complex and if you ever show someone in your group how to improve their shooting the RO's zero in on you like a chicken hawk and bust your balls on everything. Also why they closed down Jordan rd is beyond me. The kids that RO the shotgun side of things are always nice though.
