I live in Springs and I have been trying to find a shooting range for handguns that I can goto without having to pay a rediculous yearly fee. I am not military.
Does anyone know of a range I can pay a daily fee in Springs or even in Denver?

it also has to be safe, i don't want to shoot in someone's back yard. I'll look into Dragonman's thank you. Anyone have a review on this place?

+1 on Dragonmans: http://www.dragonmans.com/
But they do strictly enforce proper handling and conduct. Got in trouble for not waiting to shoot before EVEYONE was done selecting targets. Even the person on the other end... .
Otherwise, go into the mountains by woodland park. Forgot the area. Just follow the shooting noise!
. It's outdoors and they have a range control officer. They use pallets for target backing. Nothing fancy. Just staple your target and prop it up. It's always been a safe experience for me.

In Denver I like Cherry Creek State Park--it's relatively cheap and it's outdoors (which is just my personal preference).

For "uncontrolled" shooting, Rampart Range Rd. I had the pleasure to shoot a friend's machine gun at all the crap that was up there and it was fun.
I did way better with the machine gun than the .45cal. And did I mention it was fun?
There is a lot of weirdos up there. Be safe.
yea, i've heard of that place enough to know i'll probably avoid it haha. Thanks for the other good suggestion though cheers

What? You don't like uncontrolled machine guns firing at ya? Cheers.

Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "undocumented pharmacist"
I'm pretty sure the Forest Service closed Rampart Range a few years back. Dragon's is a good place, near town. You can rent machineguns from him also.
Other than him, I'm pretty sure they are all member only ranges.
Whistling Pines was a nice place, and your membership is transferrable. The monthly dues weren't too much, and it is a higher class of people generally who shoot there. They also sponsor competitions. They were in the process of opening a 360 degree range in there for IPSC type stuff. Don't know if they ever did. Selling my membership there was one of the hardest choices I made, but since I no longer live in the Springs, it was a good choice.

Just heard of this place out by Byers (close to HPR) called Lead Valley. Membership is $150 per year. http://www.leadvalleyrange.com/

Acacia Park, downtown Colorado Springs. Aim for the hippies
http://ppfc.org/ranges.htm
Rampart was closed in 2009 following a (accidental?) shooting.
"If not us, who? If not now, when?"
I heard about the accident. I assumed it is back open because I hear gun fire every time I hike the incline. Where is the sound coming from?
Why the hate for the hippies? They are the mellow people, just getting thier smoke on. I would aim for the meth heads myself, they seem to behave way more erratic.
RR Shooting Range is closed for good due to the "accident". People still go up there and shoot even though it is well posted not to. There is suppose to be a no shooting region from basically Garden of the Gods all the way up RRR till the Rampart Res. Also in the National Forests there is a rule of no shooting within close proximity of roads, campgrounds, and trails, I dont know the exact measurement. I reallly don't know where the firing is if you are on the incline, RR is clear on the other side of Manitou heading north, whereas the incline is heading west up Pikes Peak. Perhaps some persons near the trails going up the Peak.

I think they've become very strict with everything and anything done at the range due to the "incident" a while back.
Yeah, I saw those, and around Halloween when I went they had Zombie targets, so you can prepare for the coming Zombie Apocalypse.
For the $15 or $18 per day, no time limit, outdoor range, I think it's worth some strictness, and if it keeps some idiot from waving his gun across the firing line, I'm OK with that too.
