Here's a really weird situation....
I live in Lakewood Colorado and had been using an indoor range in Wheatridge, about six miles away, called The Silver Bullet, mainly because a range nearer to me was closed for some reason. Now, I didn't like the Silver Bullet because it wasn't very clean and their fee policies were pretty unreasonable (they charge by the person even if they are using one lane and even if one person is acting as instructor to a child...in my case...and not even firing a shot). Also, one of the instructors who worked there part time came down with lead poisoning, an indication of how poor the ventilation was in there.
Anyway, about three months ago I drove by the range near me, K2, and noticed a banner hanging on the building saying "OPEN". Nothing else. Wanting to know what the rates and hours were I jumped on the internet and did a search. Lots of sites referencing the K2 range in Lakewood. This is where it get's strange.
All the sites list basically the same info. A web site...but it doesn't exist. A phone number....which connects you to the operator at Colorado National Bank. An email address for additional info......but your message is returned as undeliverable. Well, so much for rocket scientists running their marketing program.
So I tried another quick approach. There's a web site called Colorado Shooting.Org that boasts "your one stop shop for all shooting related activities in Colorado" and has a listing of all the ranges (same info as above). So I fired off a quick email to them to see if they had any more recent information on K2. Sure seems a lot easier than jumping in the car and driving down there, right? Plus, they could do a community service by updating the bad info.
Result??? Their email comes back as undeliverable too.
Now, lest anybody get the impression that there are no rocket scientists in Colorado I know for a fact that there are some that work at the Martin Marietta plant.....but obviously they aren't gun enthusiasts!!!
Makes a person want to hang a target in their backyard and start shooting...
