Shooting (Rifle / Pistol) Venues in Colorado

This directory covers Colorado rifle and pistol ranges: indoor ranges in metro areas, outdoor ranges on the plains and in the foothills, and clubs that run organized matches. Whether you want lane time, a safety course or a competitive league, start here.

Indoor ranges operate year round with lane rentals, training classes and memberships, which makes them the default choice in winter. Outdoor ranges offer longer distances for rifle work and often host club matches in steel, precision, action pistol and smallbore formats, with the busiest stretch from spring into fall. Rules, membership requirements and safety briefings vary, so read each range’s policies before you visit.

Select a venue for details and its event calendar. Range operators and match directors can post an event free on CUP to bring new shooters to classes, leagues and matches.
