Between changing targets on the rifle range the female employee commented on my shooting without me asking her opinion. She told me that I was shooting too high (roughly 2 inches high @ 100 yrds). After I explained that was my intent she awkwardly left me to place a new target for the next rifle I intended to shoot".
She then returned to tell me that I was placing my target too high on the stand, which hangs from the ceiling/. I asked if I could place my target on a larger one I saw in the trash?. She confirmed that this was acceptable;. I began placing the two targets together on the stand, to which I was instructed to tape the targets together,. She again awkwardly left me to shoot|.
As I was moving my supplies to the shooting bench for this final target the male employee entered in a rage to tell me that I had better follow the rules or he would show me the door through the wall (cinder block wall).. He then followed with a rude instructional session telling me that my target must be centered on the ranges standard size target or it would cause a safety issue/. As I was leaving the facility the male staff member asked me to never return.
I would recommend that you consider this an unsafe shooting venue as the staff carry concealed weapons and in my case threaten customers with bodily injury. In the two times the female employee made comments about my shooting or target, she did not attempt to convey that the targets must be centered.
Please consider the safety of your fellow shooters as well as yourself and not give this facility your money. 12921c7

| 1. Written by Will on March 2, 2012 from westminster, colorado, US I agree. I have been there a few times before, and was greeted with the same hassles. Have to check all of your ammo, no steel cased, ect. They even told my buddy that he could not shoot a 50 beaowulf because it was bigger than a 50 BMG! The idiocy never fails to impress me here, and in my opinion, there is no reason to go here ever. Staff is very under-qualified, but believes that they know everything, and need to tell you about it. DONT GO HERE |

| 3. Written by Tim on December 19, 2009 from westminster, colorado, US This is the worst shooting range I have ever been to. I have been to GMFSC before and had a great time even though the prices were a bit high. Well I went again to get a new rifle sighted in and that experience alone will keep me from spending any money there. The price has increased to $21pp for the rifle range only. Now I was okay with that price but I expected much more for that price. First off, they don't allow any steel cased ammo and want every magazine emptied before you are allowed on the range so they can inspect all of your ammunition. Still not a deal breaker but very annoying and this would limit the type of firearms I can bring to the range. Well we started shooting and about 45 minutes in my buddy and I were the last people shooting on the range. He had most of his brass eject forward of the firing line and went to ask if we could sweep up what we could reach with a broom without crossing the line. "No problem" said the range worker who would later change his mind and not allow us to get OUR brass even though we were the only ones shooting. We continued to shoot and not 10 minutes later we were told that our time was up and we had to finish what we had loaded. Again we were the only ones on the rifle range and their website specifically states that if there is no line, you can shoot as long as you want. We asked the worker about this and he said that there were other customers coming onto the range and we asked if we could both just shoot from one lane and of course the answer was no. So we packed up and TWO shooters came into the range, which does not mean a line was forming, but yet we still had to leave. We were nothing but nice and respectful and still were treated like children. So for $21 per person, we got a little under an hour on the range and had 75% of our brass laying on the floor with nobody in line. I will tell all of my friends to not frequent this range and hope that this review will keep people from wasting their money. I believe Cherry Creek is $15 per person and you can shoot from open to close if you have the time and ammo. A side note, but still very important, the staff at the range was not very knowledgeable or experienced in firearms. With the mention of an AK, only jokes and uninformed comments were given. I don't care if you approve of a specific firearm or not, it is not your job to critique somebody's firearm. Your only job is to make sure the range is run in a safe and clean manner and personal opinion can be thrown out the window as long as the rules are being obeyed. Sorry for the novel and thanks for reading. If you haven't already assumed, I would never recommend that anybody waste their time and money at Green Mountain Family Shooting Center. |
