Colorado ranges sorted by miles from you
149 ranges carry a map point; six at a time appear with miles, the kind of range, the entry rule and a call or map button.
Straight-line miles from you or a county centre. CPW ranges use the point on the CPW range page and most clubs a Census geocoder point; listing points that could not be confirmed fall back to the town centre and say so.

Colorado range lists by discipline
Five lists split the ranges into CPW public ranges, indoor lanes, rifle and pistol lines, shotgun grounds and bow ranges; a club with both a rifle line and a trap field sits on both lists. 32 clubs on file say members only.
Every mapped Colorado range
149 pins stretch from Summit Shooting Center in Montezuma County on the Western Slope to Holyoke Gun Club out on the Eastern Plains, with Conejos County Public Shooting Range the farthest south. Densest counties: Arapahoe (15), El Paso (14), Weld (10), Larimer (9) and Jefferson (9).
Highlighted pins are CPW-listed ranges. A pin opens the range page where there is one, otherwise the range’s website.

Colorado range questions
Where does this Colorado range list come from?
The CPW Shooting Range Finder pages, boisegunclub.com, gunranges.org, findarcheryranges.com, the ATA Colorado club list and ranges’ own pages, read November 5, 2026. 38 listings stayed off: training companies and stores with no range, town-only and mailing-address rows, match groups, duplicates and organisations.
How many public ranges does CPW list in Colorado?
21, all in the table above. 7 of them are run by a county, a club, a park concession or the Forest Service rather than by CPW itself.
What do I need to shoot at a range on a state wildlife area?
A valid Colorado hunting or fishing license or a State Wildlife Area pass; that covers Basalt State Wildlife Area Shooting Range, Byers Canyon Shooting Range, Big Thompson Bowhunters at Lon Hagler SWA, Mike Higbee State Wildlife Area Shooting Range and Two Buttes State Wildlife Area Shooting Range.
Which CPW-listed ranges sit inside state parks?
Barr Lake State Park Archery Range, Family Shooting Center at Cherry Creek State Park, Cheyenne Mountain State Park Archery Range, Lathrop State Park Archery Range, Staunton State Park Archery Range, Trinidad Lake Archery Range and North Sterling State Park Archery Range; each asks for a state parks pass, and Cheyenne Mountain also sells a $3 day pass for its 3D course.
Which Colorado ranges have staff on the firing line?
Colorado Clays Shooting Range, Family Shooting Center at Cherry Creek State Park and Cameo Shooting and Education Complex, where the CPW pages mention Range Safety Officers.
Where is the longest rifle distance on a Colorado public range?
At Cameo Shooting and Education Complex, whose long range precision range has steel out to 2,003 yards by reservation; next come Colorado Backcountry Precision (1,000 yards), Colorado Rifle Club (1,000 yards) and Ben Lomond Gun Club Inc (600 yards).
Which Colorado county holds the most ranges?
Arapahoe County with 15, then El Paso County with 14.
Where can a bowhunter practise broadhead shots?
CPW pages describe broadhead areas at Barr Lake State Park Archery Range and Big Thompson Bowhunters at Lon Hagler SWA; Barr Lake State Park Archery Range, Lathrop State Park Archery Range and Trinidad Lake Archery Range allow field points only.
How many Colorado listings throw clays?
73 listings name trap, skeet, 5-stand, sporting clays or a shotgun range; 9 are CPW-listed, and the ATA club list adds Logan County Shooting Sports Complex and Yuma Trap Club.
When should an elk rifle be zeroed for the November seasons?
Before the next rifle season your hunt code covers; the 2026 regular rifle seasons for elk ran October 24-November 1, November 7-15 and November 18-22, and each county page lists the rows for its GMUs.
