We could not be happier to announce that Colorado Caliber apparel can now be found at Bristlecone Shooting, Training & Retail Center in Lakewood.
Bristlecone is located at 12105 W. Cedar Dr. and is one of the more popular shooting destinations in the Metro area - for good reason!
A LITTLE HISTORY
It's not your typical Colorado shooting range. They do offer many of the same great services that you would expect from a traditional shooting range - but you'll also find a bright, welcoming atmosphere with an emphasis on customer service. Bristlecone's mission is to make everyone feel welcome and to help you have an EXTRAORDINARY recreational experience.
The driving forces behind Bristlecone's success are Bryan and Jacquelyn Clark. After moving to Colorado, they discovered few indoor shooting ranges where the focus was placed on the recreational experience and where they felt at home. They also saw that many of the private ranges in the area had very long waiting lists. Instead of fighting the system, Bryan and Jacquelyn decided to work with it by creating their own ideal shooting environment.
So where did the name Bristlecone come from? As a locally owned and operated company, Bryan and Jacquelyn wanted the name of the range to reflect their pride in the natural beauty of Colorado, as well as showcase their enthusiasm about the outdoors.
So, the range was named after one of their favorite trees - the Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine. The tree is native to Colorado and grows just below the tree line in alpine regions. BUT, that's not what makes this pine so amazing.
Not only is the Bristlecone the oldest living organism on the planet, but the wood is durable, extremely dense, and has incredible longevity. Rather than rotting like a typical tree, the Bristlecone Pine actually erodes like stone into beautiful patterns, creating interesting and gnarled shapes.
Bryan and Jacquelyn believe the Bristleone Pine parallels the firearms industry, which has also proven its longevity, endurance and adaptability to changing conditions over the years.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Bristlecone has made gun education a core offering. They believe that safety, firearms familiarity and skills improvement are paramount for every shooting sports enthusiast. The goal was to create a non-intimidating environment and to invite all levels of sportsmen and sportswomen to participate in scheduled indoor firearms training programs. Bristlecone sports two training classrooms that include a state-of-the-art virtual training simulator and enough seating to comfortably accommodate up to 70 students.
The shooting range itself is also state-of-the-art. With 14 indoor lanes, each stretching 25 yards, you are welcome to shoot your handguns, shotguns and rifles here. A wide variety of firearms is also available for rent. The lanes are separated into two range bays. The first is reserved for standard target shooting practice and has six fixed firing point lanes with solid ballistic shooting stalls and electronically controlled rail-based target retrieval systems.
The second bay, with eight lanes, is equipped for tactical shooting practice and training. Here, the stalls are separated by clear ballistic glass for optimum instructor viewing and are equipped with advanced tactical, fully automated, computer-controlled, 360-degree full turning target retrieval systems.
To fully understand what the Bristelcone tactical shooting bay is all about, you really must experience it! It's not enough to describe the quick-turn friend/foe, advancing/retreating targets, fully programable for live courses of fire, and the no light, low-light, and even strobe light capabilities of the individual target carriers. It's not until you see the space and the top of the line equipment in action that you can fully understand the possibilities.
Be sure to visit the Pro Shop before ending your Bristlecone experience. The shop offers new and used firearms, knives, non-firearm alternatives, ammunition, accessories, apparel (including the Colorado Gun Flag Shirt!), and cleaning supplies.
