BlueCore Shooting Center - Lakewood

[Guylee]

I fully support BluCore's or any range's staff vetting a request like this. Firstly, it's nice of them to make an exception (after a demo) and secondly, you never know what the skillset of the person in the lane next to you is or what's going on in their brain at any particular moment, so some vetting of special requests puts me more at ease.

That's the way I saw it. I wasn't really interested in holster drawing this time, but I'm sure if I asked they would have let me (after a quick demo, of course).

I went today after meeting up with a member to sell my M&P. He was a member at the range, so I got in as a guest. Always happy to save a couple bucks.

The ventilation was great, no black boogers afterward. My only complaint was that it was really cold (probably due to the ventilation?) and there wasn't enough brooms to sweep up. Some dude that was there must have REALLY liked to sweep, because he wouldn't give it up and wasn't paying attention to anyone when I tried to ask him for it. I thought he worked there or something but no, he just really liked to sweep brass I guess.

I was kind of disappointed that the range was only 15 yards and not 25 yards, but oh well.

$270 for a year membership seems pretty spendy, but if you go once a week or even twice a month it would be worth it. I'm about a half hour away so I probably wont go too often, as the Firing Line is about 10 minutes away and I haven't had any problems.

Went there this morning since it's just down the street from my house. Nothing but good reviews from me. Agreed that it's really cold, but if that's the price to pay for the awesome ventilation, i'm game.

I think I"m gonna do one of the year membership deals with my brother and a few other people. If we had five, it ended up being like 170 a person or something, and considering how much I shoot, that'll pay off in no time. Along with the other perks, like discounts on the store when it opens, range reservations, etc

I went this afternoon (since its down the street from me) and have to say I was fairly impressed with the ventilation as well. Nice they only charged $11 for my nephew (being a minor). Will go back for sure.

The only thing that stuck me as odd was this comment:

"The rifle range will be open soon and if you want to sight in an AR15 you can use it, but if you intend on blowing through a bunch of rounds we will ask them to move to the pistol range."

I went again today. Had a good experience again too. I asked about drawing from a holster. One of the guys came and watched that I did it safely. He also gave me some good pointers to improve my draw without being pushy.

I shot some slugs from my Benelli M4 as well.

I think I may have been in front of you in line today, because I remember hearing them say that to someone else, hehe

so they allow you to bring your own ammo for pistol range?

Will have to check them out this week.

Yep so $16 if you bring your own ammo and $12 if you use theirs.

When I was there it was 17 and 14. Not trying to be a douche or anything but it those few bucks matter to some.

But do they allow handloads with lead bullets? Like wadcutters or semis? You know, "target" loads? That always blew my mind about GMFSC, "no lead bullets", yet only paper targets, which go hand in hand with lead wadcutters or semis......goofballs.
