About Golden Gun Club
Golden Gun Club stands out as a premier membership-based shooting facility in the Denver metro area. Located in Watkins, Colorado, this exclusive club has established itself as a haven for shooters of all experience levels who value safety, community, and top-tier facilities.
What makes Golden Gun Club exceptional is its profound commitment to creating a welcoming environment, particularly for families and newcomers to the shooting sport. Multiple reviewers highlight the exceptional staff who don’t just provide access to ranges but actively mentor and encourage learning. This instructor-focused approach transforms the shooting experience from transactional to educational, making it an ideal choice for those developing their skills.
The facility itself is comprehensive and impressively maintained. Members have access to rifle ranges extending to 500 yards - serious distance for precision work - alongside dedicated pistol and shotgun ranges. This diversity means members can develop proficiency across multiple disciplines without seeking additional venues. The club takes facility maintenance seriously, with reviewers consistently noting the clean, well-kept conditions and thoughtful management of the physical space.
The membership model creates a distinctive advantage: an uncrowded shooting environment. Unlike public ranges that can become chaotic during peak times, Golden Gun Club’s selective membership approach ensures a controlled, safe atmosphere where shooters can focus on their practice. This structure particularly appeals to families wanting to introduce children to shooting in a supervised, low-pressure setting.
Accessibility to management is another defining characteristic. Reviewers specifically mention Paul and the team’s availability and responsiveness. This direct relationship between members and management fosters a genuine community atmosphere rather than the detached experience common at larger commercial facilities. Members feel valued rather than merely accommodated.
The club’s operational philosophy emphasizes safety at every level. Newcomers appreciate the fundamentals-focused instruction, while experienced shooters value the discipline that comes from a members-only community where standards are maintained consistently.
Golden Gun Club represents the gold standard for shooters seeking a membership facility that combines professional-grade amenities with genuine community values and an unwavering safety culture.
