Looks like the "range rules" page has been updated:
•You are required to purchase our ammo to shoot at our pistol range, in the following calibers: .9mm, 223, .357, .38, .380, .40, .44, .45, and 7.62x39
•You may function test and train with your self supplied, personal defense pistol ammunition, up to 1 box of 50 rounds.
•You may provide and shoot your personal ammunition on our rifle range, to include specific hunting loads and sight-in for AR style rifles.
• **All training and multiple magazine firing of all AR/Tactical style rifles will be conducted on our pistol range, and the shooter will be required to purchase and shoot our ammo.
So, I interpret this quite simply: You have to buy their ammo, even for .223, and apparently AR shooting will take place on the pistol range.
And here is their updated range rules:
•Firearms must be unloaded and cased unless on the firing line.(Exceptions for Law Enforcement)
•The range officer is in charge of the range at all times.
• Ear and eye protection must be worn at all times.
•No one is allowed in front of the firing line.
•Always point firearms downrange.
• Place targets at eye level.
•Do not shoot the floor or ceiling of the range.
•All rounds must impact the bullet trap / backstop.
•No rapid fire. (you must control the firearm)
•Drawing from the holster is prohibited, unless you have prior approval.
•Shooters under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
•Food and drink are prohibited in the range.
•Smoking/smokeless tobacco is prohibited in the store and the range.
•Shell casings must be swept past the firing line.
•You may pick up your own brass.
•No private instruction of any kind is allowed on the premises.
I bolded the last two rules, as everything else is standard. This shows that you CAN collect your own brass. However, the "no private instruction" thing is somewhat disconcerting. So, if I bring a date to the range, am I not allowed to show her how to shoot? Am I going to have to pay some tactical ninja to give my girlfriend lessons? (This is rhetorical of course, because I wouldn't put up with that BS for a second).
Also, here is a gem of a quote I found on the main page:
"
No other range in Denver brings this much real world and combat experience together in one facility. BluCore personnel have deployed to combat zones all over the world conducting operations against the most dangerous terrorists in the most extreme conditions."
That right there, coupled with the absurd ammo policy, tells me everything I need to know about this place. It sounds like a bunch of holier-than-thou Tactical Teds who have way too much ego to run an effective business. I'm sure they will sell plenty of Extreme Shock ammo there.
