I don't belong to any private ranges. I used to belong to the Pikes Peak Gun club in Colorado Springs. That was over a year ago. I'll try to write down what I remember about it.

The range is located about five miles East of Colorado Springs off of Hwy 94. If you can find Dragon Man's you can find this place. You turn right (South) off of Hwy 84 at the bottom of junk yard hill, and go about a 1/4 of a mile. The range is on the West side of the road.

Lots of trap and skeet ranges, and a sporty clays setup. A 25 yard pistol range, a 100 yard rifle range are also there. They say its 200, but it can't be 'cause I can see that far.

Membership is about $100 a year with a family membership being a little higher. All rifle shooting is from wood bencshes, paper targets only. The pistol range had just been finished when I left and I've never used it. On top of the membership fee you pay $5.00 a visit. They supply target stands, you supply the targets.

They like surplus guns, but aren't sure about black rifles. They are mostly a sedate shotgun crowd.

Porta-potties down by the rifle and pistol range, real bathrooms and a small clubhouse at the entrance just behind the shotgun range. No covered shooting positions, and no lights for night shooting. The range is closed on Mondays or whenever there is nobody there. There are no Range officers, shooters take care of themselves.

Its not a bad place all-in-all. I just never got out there enough to make it worth my while to stay a member.
