[QUOTE="badthirtyone, post: 2139584, member: 9573"] While I love shooting at various ranges out to 550 yards at GGC in Watkins, it has an entirely different feel because it is a "line-based" range, meaning that all shooters fire from one established line at targets set at various different yardages. This is perfectly appropriate for mid-distance work, but you have to wait for a cease fire to be called to go out to set or check targets. Aurora - AGC allows me to shoot from an established 200 yard rifle bench or prone to do load work-up, but also has individual 50 yard rifle/pistol/shotgun berms that allow you unrestricted movement. I do a lot of AR work involving movement and positional drills. There would be no way to accommodate all of the styles of shooting that I do out at GGC. AGC in Aurora is currently on about a 6 year waiting list. CRC in Byers has all of the above (pistol berms, 550 yard silhouette range, as well as a very nice 1000 yard range), but it is an hour and forty five minutes from my house, so I only utilize it for the 1k range. The NRA Whittington Ctr is a truly wonderful place that offers all of the above, and then some. Lots of possibilities there, but 3 hours away so we only go every now and then. Hope this info helps.
