    Great place to spend an afternoon with the kids. Completely free to use, and even has free targets…read moreand ear plugs. Occasionally they also have free gun locks if you need one. Plenty of lanes makes it easy to grab a spot even on a busier weekend day. Three different public ranges all with cover and sound enclosures on three sides. Ranges include: one for pistols and rim fire, one for any firearm (rifle, pistol, carbine), and a third for shotguns. Shotgun range has clay target launchers that are in great condition and well maintained. We normally stop at Murdochs in Silverthorne to stock up on ammo and clays before we head out the range. Great way to teach the kids how to handle firearms responsibly and/or get guns sighted for hunt season. Range Safety Officers are great, but are all volunteers and not on-site all them time.

    I probably shouldn't be the first person reviewing this place--I don't know much about guns, and…read moreI'm still learning to even feel comfortable with guns. So, consider the source. We've gone shooting at a couple indoor ranges in Denver/Lakewood, we've been shooting out in Lost Park near Jefferson. Neither situation had me feeling 100% comfortable. The indoor shooting centers were full of gun bros who weren't friendly and were intimidating, scoffing at lack of knowledge. And not chill. Being outside in a national forest area is cool, but you also have a lot to watch out for and be careful about. You have to pick your spot wisely. We pulled off in Keystone up the road toward the public shooting range. It's also the road to the landfill. Avoid the line--if there is one, drive around it to the left and squeeze in to the right (through the line) and around the weigh-in station. Continue up the road a little bit, and you're there. Park along the road, and walk on up. It's free. It's also very well maintained. They provide free earplugs, duct tape to hang targets--they even provide targets for free! One range is for police only (and was in use and a little scary/cool to watch). One range is for shotguns and trap shooting. The other two ranges are for yer other guns. One is covered, one isn't. All they ask is that you clean up your trash and brasses. We can all do that, right? It was a Tuesday afternoon when we went. There were a couple families with small and early teens kids, teaching them about guns, a younger couple, and a couple dudes. Everybody was friendly, and cooperated when the range was cold. Plus, look around you. Ignore the landfill below, and check out the mountains all around. It's GORGEOUS here. Again, it's free. They have a very small, humble donation box to help keep up the range. I feel like $5-10 per visit would be fair for them to charge, so cash comes in handy.
