Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Thanks, will call them in AM. Yes, it would have to be one of the end lanes. I am just impatient and was curious. I will join in a heartbeat if they let me shoot prone. I know when they first opened years ago they planned to let people shoot prone but for some reason I am thinking they do not.
Bristlecone lets you shoot prone but it is only 25 yards.

Unless something has changed since I worked there you cannot. Standing or from the bench only. Too easy to impact the ceiling from prone.Originally Posted by stevenc23

Thanks, I was afraid of that. But how the hell does someone hit the ceiling from the prone position?
I would think standing would wreck much more havoc on the range.

Happened all the time. People are careless etc, or they don't have the carrier run all the way out, angle is bad.. Boom

Went in last week and was able to speak to one of the owners. Super nice and was able to work out an arrangement. Ending up buying a membership. Thumbs up to Blucore!

ended up checking them out last friday. Only went to the pistol side - overall i liked the range - well lit, ventilated etc. there wasnt much room behind the lanes (to watch if you are in a group) or put gun cases etc but my biggest complaint was that i dint see a range officer at all. Normally im ok with this but, they just happened to put us next to a group of 4 new shooters - waving guns around, finger on the trigger type of thing.
the place was pretty busy (waited for 45 minutes) so i decided to split a lane with my buddy - most ranges ive been to tack on 5-10$ per additional shooter but not here. If i knew we were going to be charged the same i would have gotten my own lane. ended up paying ~40$/hr to use the lane.
If you don't need the rifle range, then check out Bristlecone. I like the lanes more (better lit, more room, better target system) and there are always good safety oriented range offers on the firing line.
Think it's $19 per person (unless you quality for a discount, ie current or former military, law enforcement, first responder, etc)
But just a warning, it has been getting pretty busy lately. I see people having to wait for lanes more often these days.
thanks - was deciding on the 2 but chose blu due to the rifle range. it seems that most places are charging ~20 for range time - that about right? it's funny that i was spoiled in California of all places - 1000 yard range - anytime access for 50$/year http://www.desertmarksmen.org/ one of the few perks of living in palmdale
Went to blue core just to look around. Wasn't prepared to shoot. I asked if I could look at the range. Reply was "nope". Well fuck you very much then. I cant even look to decide if I want to come back and shoot no thanks. If I want attitude from a little bitch I'll stay at home.
Blue Core made you so angry that you insulted your wife at the same time?
