    Anybody around Colorado Springs?

    Gents, I'm moving the family to be closer to my daughter's first duty station near Colorado Springs, CO.

    Any good ranges around the area, especially ones with private memberships and action bays?

    Thanks for the heads-up!

    Friend of mine lives near there, but he doesn't shoot. Hope you like dealing with snow because there's plenty of it.

      I lived in Colorado Springs for many years. There’s a nice outdoor range at the base of Pikes Peak on Gold Camp rd. And don’t worry about the snow, it gets hot in the summer.

        CO also has a hi-cap magazine ban of some sort. Don't know how it compares to kali. People say it's not enforced in the sticks. I'm sure it's enforced with gusto in Denver. Don't know how it is in the Springs. (Yes, you call it "the Springs")

          I am in Monument which is just outside of Colorado Springs to the North. I use Magnum Shooting Center for indoor because it’s close to my house. DCF Guns has ranges in Castle Rock, and 2 in The Springs…but I have not been to any of the locations. Ft Carson has an outdoor public range…and then way out East is Dragonmans.

          Things are going downhill fast in Colorado. AWB did not make it out of committee this year, but will be back. Looks like a 3 day wait is coming. Also being considered is a ban on shooting on unincorporated/private land. Expanding the red flag laws, ghost gun ban, etc

          Any questions feel free to PM me

                  I don?t know, but they?re trying on HB23-1165

                  On another note, Gov Polesmoker signed 4 anti-gun bills today (4/28/23)

                  The bills expand the state’s red flag law, raise the minimum age to purchase guns, impose a three-day waiting period for purchases and make it easier to sue the gun industry


                  Removal of gun industry legal protection
                  Expansion of red flag laws
                  Ban on purchases for people under 21
                  Three day waiting period

                    I have gone to the Fort Carson range while visiting relatives. It is really nice.

                    The Cheyenne Mountain Shooting Complex is a 400 acre site that sits on Army land near I-25 just off mile marker 132. The entrance is located just outside Fort Carson's Gate 20 security perimeter. Shooters using the range will not have to enter Fort Carson to use the range.
