Where to shoot near Parker?

[GuyWithGuns]

I talked with Brandon from RMG&A the other week and he mentioned a range they use for their classes... made it sound like it was out towards Elizabeth ?

Maybe I should stop back in there and ask him......

I need a place to shoot the AR near Parker.

I took my AK to the Cherry Creek Family Shooting Center last week and was a little disappointed.

They wouldn't let me shoot my AK pistol because it didn't have a stock, and uses a rifle round (can't be used on the handgun range) so I was SOL with that. I had a good time with the AK-74 though.

Its too structured in my opinion. I guess with how busy it is, its necessary.

The range officers also almost wouldn't let me shoot the AK-74 because the bolt doesn't hold open, but I jammed a large piece of spent brass in it and that was acceptable.

BLGC is a little far from Denver for me, unfortunately, to warrant being a member. I wouldn't go very often.

So, you would rather go to a range that won't let you shoot you evil pistol because it's not a pistol caliber but doesn't have a stock, and thinks that a rifle that won't lock the bolt open is too dangerous to be allowed... instead of driving an hour and a half. I never have shot at THAT range, and the chances I will are very very low.

BLGC is about $250 initial fee and about $100 every year after that. Auto's are allowed. There are 11 different berms, and In 6-7 years of being a member I have NEVER had to share a berm unless I was sharing with a fellow competition shooter during a practice session. You can bring and shoot all the evil and misunderstood types of firearms and evil calibers you want and nobody will even bat an eye. Just don't shoot up my plastic 55 gal barrels on berm 5 and you are fine.

Hey...I'm lazy.

I like the ability to go to a range after work, rather than just weekends.

If you want to take me as a guest, I might change my tune. Sounds pretty great.

I did enjoy the range I belonged to in NY...if it was busy, everyone policed eachother (if even necessary) and was no issue to get everyone to take a break and walk down to change targets. But most of the time, there was no one there.

I agree. It's a decent range but because of the structure, I always end up getting in trouble for something there...

That might be the place I did the shooting portion of my CCW class at. It was just out of Parker, on private land, down in a gully behind a house. It had a big dirt berm built up in the gully. LOTS of other houses around, I was surprised to see an active range there. I'd say it's too small for rifles though, but who knows. Looked like they did a lot of bowling pin shooting there.

That is the Heckle Range, very private.
