BlueCore Shooting Center - Lakewood

[Storm]

Thanks for mentioning the Golden Gun Glub, Storm. It's outdoors and even closer than the Lead Valley range, which I was considering. Indoor ranges have really gotten old for me, so I'll definitely be looking into this place too.

You're Welcome.

It's a nice place to shoot. Up to a 500yd rifle range and a lot of shooting points (75 points, IIRC). While being safe, the rules still pretty loose out there, at least with respect to some places. If you can make it out on a day without a match it's really nice. There's a few people out there but it's usually not crowded.

If you're not familiar with the layout of the range, there's a satellite map (google) of the range on the website.

FYI 100 yard rifle range will not be open for another 6 weeks.

I missed this when I went over tonight, thus I didn't shoot.

I'm just thinking...

Someone gets injured, bad load, or whatever.

I don't think they are going to like what a jury will do to them when it can be shown that they buy ammo based on price and REQUIRE people using their range to shoot their ammo.

I'm just guessing, but this has got to be a profit thing. They might say it's to reduce the chance or problems associated with ammo, but that's such hogwash it doesn't bear repeating.

I don't see them staying in business very long with this policy, unless they have super low ammo prices.

I can see requiring range ammo for "tactical rifle" on the pistol range. My guess is their .223 tactical range ammo is loaded with frangible bullets to minimize the chances of damage to the backstop or ricochet. Otherwise, unless they are very competitive on pricing, IMO they should allow any commercial ammo on the range (excepting perhaps steel core).

Thanks for saving me a drive today. The quest to check my rifle's zero continues.

Same here. That's what I was looking forward to doing soon.

It's about the only use Cherry Creek has to me. Maybe check out that public range in Dillon?

any word on cost of ammo? i am buying all my own stuff still, and if they can beat walmart prices (9 a box of 9mm) then it might be worth it.

First post. Thanks for all the information that I've gotten from this site so far. Stopped by Blucore yesterday. Pistol range is much cleaner than previous Owners. The staff is really friendly.

50 rds .40 185gr= $14.99
50 rds .357 sig 125gr = $25.99

Ammo was HSM remanufactured. They do have "premimum" ammo, but I didn't ask what that was.

So, they aren't trying to make their profit on ammo. Since the range fee for the pistol bays is only $12 (cheaper than the shootist) and the place is close to me I will go back. Heck, with the price of gas I'm not sure its worth driving to find a place to shoot my reloads. At least i can pick up my brass and save it for a rainy day.

Straw, Glass or did you just go straight from the Pitcher?

Thought I would at least share the ammo prices....
