Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I've been there a few times...last time I went their rifle range was closed and the guy in there said he wasn't sure if he would let non-members shoot on it, so I haven't gone back.
Non-members? It's a public range. Or am I completely mistaken?Originally Posted by Moviestar
Taken from their website:
It was walk in, fill out some paperwork, inspect your ammo (no steel allowed) then pay.
A guy walked me to my lane.
No unjacketed lead either.
"There are no finger prints under water."
they have a membership option that will give you reduced prices on the range + some free shoots per year...for like 200 a year or something. When I went in the guy told me some kid shot all the rails up with his ar-15, so I couldn't use my 10/22 in the rifle range. While I waited for a pistol range to open up, some other guys came in wanting to shoot their ars...and I overheard him saying the rifle range is closed for now, and he was thinking about making the rifle range member only, at least for anything bigger than a .22. Thats just what I over heard...
VIP MEMBERSHIP….. $250 PER YEAR
· Reduces price to $9 on the pistol range, and $14 on the rifle range.
· One free shoot per year for you or a guest.
Thats their membership...like I said, this was after Christmas and i'm not sure if it went through, I just haven't been back since.
past owners messed it all up for the current owners... the old range was open, was closed, was open, was closed. bought by the new folks, I stopped in a few times, as I live not far from this range. The times I've stopped in to inquire about shooting, they seem like the gestapo and I'm not felt "welcome". So i've never shot at this new range...
They need to advertise a little bit and make some deals to get people in there shooting... maybe they are ok people after all.
I'll stop in again and see what feedback I receive this time around...

I saw this in another thread that Stuart had posted, this gave me the idea to try it out. Thanks.
It was open to the public, first come first serve.
It was busy due to show traffic when I first went. Went back about an hour later with no wait. I was told then that the rifle range was closed. After shooting for a while I inquired if the rifle range had opened (brought my toys, figured since I was already there), they said no problem and I paid adn additional $21 and signed papers again. I received a little bit of a hard time about my "battle rifle", but it was in fun and games. If not, I still laughed it off. I tend to just fire back. No pun intended. LOL
I shoot there regularly - both pistol and rifle sides. Never had a problem - it's a good (indoor) place to shoot.
Just got back from Green Mountain, asked who I believe was the owner a few questions-
Do you allow organized events?
- Not really, range is too busy to tie up.
AR-15 concerns?
- None really, though 223 ammo tends to ricochet more, harder on the range (hardware, rails, lights, ect). An AR15 shooter tore up one one of the target rails.
Not set up for tactical shooting. The rifle lanes/range is 100 yrds, all shooting from supplied rests while sitting. Rests are adjustable. Light stops at 25/50/75/100 yards.
Fees - (this is good info folks) - $21 per half hour. If nobody is waiting for a lane, no additional charges for more than the 1st half hour. This is great! I first zero's my iron sights and the the scope on the AR, and was on the range for a complete hour, charged only for 1/2 hour.
Tell them you'll be zeroing with a laser boresighter so that they can ask folks coming onto the range if that will be a problem for them (shooting distraction).
How long is the pistol range there? Firing Line range fee is $12 but it is only 50ft long.
