ben lomond, quail run, cherry creek, etc.

there are plenty of ranges outside doug. co. to go shoot, that arent that much farther of a commute.

Hello, members.
I usually go to the Shootist on weekends since I shoot handguns only. This place however is always packed.

Are there any private gun clubs that can be joined so one can shoot at a decent range?

Thanx all!!!

Y'all need to join Ben Lomond Gun Club. www.blgc.org Once you've joined, just head straight east out of C. Rock on 86, out past Kiowa, to the sign pointing south to Ramah. There's a BLGC sign there, and a call-box phone on a post also. Go south on that dirt road 5 miles, can't miss it. Best place for shooting you'll ever find. Seems like a looooong damn way out there, but it's about 45-50 minutes from Parker for me.

Make sure you have plenty of gas, bring drinks and snacks if you wish. There's portajohns, and a new clubhouse under construction with restrooms, might even be done now. Camping and RV parking available. Several separate bermed ranges from short to 100 yds., a high-power range out to 600 yards, a shotgun trap/skeet area, silhouette range for rimfires, archery area, and a lead-only cowboy range out to 500 yds.

Perty cool place. Here, I'll even give ya some photos. These are old and just a sample of some of the small ranges, plus it's changed a lot, but you'll get the idea. 560 acres of private club land, and ALL the landowners in the surrounding areas are lifetime members, so they don't bitch 'bout nothing.

Only real major rules are treat the place and each other with respect, don't leave trash, don't destroy things, no booze, just act like adults.

This looks appealing. I'm in Parker and despise the Firing Line and would love to find a good outdoor range or BLM area to shoot... Will be looking into this.

Neither dilly nor dally, the membership is nearing the limit, so I hear. Meetings are at the Franktown firehouse at 7pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month (I think, check the website for details). Joining is usually no problem at all. I swear, you go there once and you'll never go anywhere else again.

Paying members have been capped.

All new applicants are going on a waiting list now. However, club members come and go, some get awarded lifetime membership for years of good deeds, serving on board and chapter leads, etc. If anyone is serious, get to a chapter meeting, get your application in, and wait for a spot.

blgc.org for more info.

Damn, we'll still be able to renew, right? As long as we don't let our membership lapse or expire?

Yes, keep it current and don't let it lapse or you lose your spot and the first guy on the waiting list gets in. Renewals were due around the end of January or so as I recall. I'm not sure if George sends out past due reminders or not. FYI, George is now Pres and a new guy stepped into the V.P. slot.
