i visited the green mountain family shooting center in lakewood co a couple of days ago. i was not impressed with the staff. imho they were rude and unprofessional. not to mention they had a smug attitude. the woman behind the counter used profanity
she was talking about kicking someone's ass and using profanity in general.
i know that all ranges have rules. that it is necessary. my friends and i were sighting in an hk sr9. my friend attached a lower target to his upper target and began to zero his rifle. shortly thereafter the male employee entered the range and approached him. he began to chastise him. his words, " i'm going to take care of two things, RIGHT NOW!!!" he was standing over my friend and had his face about 3 inches from my friends face. he went on about the target arrangement and accused my friend of rapid firing. he wasn't. he was zeroing his rifle, that's it. no rapid firing. what this employee should have done, is ask my friend to come out into the lobby and address his issues there. i don't believe anyone appreciates another person getting in their personal space. then here comes the female. she was saying that we had been in there for 2 hours and other people were going to be coming in. she gave us 10 minutes to finish up. mind you, there were 4 empty stalls available. we had paid the $35 for both rifle and pistol, so we packed up the rifles and moved over to the pistol side. i don't know what the rush was about.
the staff went on and on about not shooting your handguns on the rifle side of the range. and vice versa with rifles on the handgun side. we didn't do this. but after rambling on and on, this female employee ended the rant with, "you can thank a denver police officer for this". i suppose a denver officer fired his handgun on the rifle side. i guess they thought we would do it too.
i am from the raleigh n.c. area and have not experienced this coarse attitude at our ranges. i was kind've taken aback by it. have any of the colorado members visited this range and if so what were your experiences?
unfortunately i cannot recommend spending your money here.
