Arvada Rifle & Pistol Club

[SS109]

My high school rifle team (Regis) shot there on Mondays in the 1980's. I wish I had stayed with the program all 4 years.

Good to see that Arvada has given up on closing them down. A friend's son shoots there right now.

The building and property belong to RTD. The club signed a 99 year lease back before PC went amok. It is true about the ammo restrictions. At the time I talked with them, the game seemed to be air rifle (for youth and old alike) and 22/45 pistol shoots.

Met with them last night, they seemed to be a nice group, welcoming and polite.

Ran into a sycophant of my (least) favorite gun shop/smith - If the rest of the club was like him I would have walked out, and he may well have been one of the guys that gave the place a bad reputation among some people.

I didn't join yet, they have to vote on everyone and Mr. LetMeTellYouHowCoolIam took so much time that I never got a chance to talk to the Pres or Sec.

Details as they come. Still pretty much .22 and .45 (non-jacketed), but I want to get my sons some trigger time, and .22 is perfect for that.


ETA - Apparently they're still a little worried about being shut down. Light-rail is coming just up the hill and there's a chance that RTD may need a parking garage right there. But the lighting and ventilation is better and still improving.

That is GREAT news.
I REALLY DO hope it works out for you and the kids.

Pretty painless process. Getting to the 3 or so required meetings (apply, range rules, membership vote) was the most difficult part of the whole process. Haven't shot yet, but I got the key and combination. Seems to be a decent bunch of folks (with a few exceptions).

I am very interested in joining some club. Do they allow 9mm ammo?
