BlueCore Shooting Center - Lakewood

Anyone know how busy do they get in the evening? I live right down the road and have thought about heading over but figured it would be packed. Then I remember I have beer in the fridge and forget to call them. ;-)

It depends on the evening. Tues is ladies night (ladies pay no lane fees) so it tends to be a bit busier. If there are classes going it can be busy, but usually during mid week around 5-6 you can walk in and there might be a 10-15 minute wait.

Took a few college buddies shooting for their first time at BlueCore last night and we were all quite pleased. I am even happier that they are a whole 5 minutes from my front door! In the summer I usually drive up to buffalo creek but for a range this close to my house I sure as hell am happy about it.

Went by at 1100 today and the waiting area was packed. Asked someone waiting how long it was and she said 45 mins. so I left. I haven't gone there since the craziness started, so is this typical?

I got there at 10 on a Sunday 2 weeks ago and it was already a 2+ hour wait. I either reserve a lane now or just go middle of day Tuesday when I'm off.

Just an FYI for those who haven't been to BluCore before, only members can reserve lanes (that's a membership perk). Otherwise, BluCore is open to the public on a first come, first served basis.

I shoot at BluCore. While you can't make a reservation without becoming a member (about $300/year and the perk of no range fees) you can sign in, drop off some form of ID card (I use my NRA membership card), leave and come back. I've taken a pistol course there and was very happy with the course content.

A 45 minute wait to target shoot a pistol at an indoor range on a Friday early afternoon?! No comment.

I've shot a few times at BluCore. They're pretty convenient to me and the facility is very nice. The crowds recently are making me consider a membership simply to be able to reserve a lane. If you go, be aware that Thursday nights is their "class" night and it can be harder to get a lane.

What's the fee for shooting now? Haven't been for a few years
