Welcome to the Cameo Shooting and Education Complex Homepage.
The Cameo Shooting and Education Complex (CSEC), opened in August 2018, provides some of Colorado’s finest shooting and archery ranges. Indeed, it is one of the finest, world class shooting ranges in the USA. CSEC is located a few miles east of Grand Junction Colorado, at exit 45 off of Interstate 70.

Ammunition Reminder
It is especially important to remember that no tracer, incendiary, armor-piercing (black tip) or penetrator (green tip) ammunition is permitted on the ranges at CSEC as they constitute a fire hazard. This includes M855 surplus ammunition.
Armor-piercing and penetrator rounds have steel cores which cause sparks when they impact steel targets. Additionally, these rounds damage our steel targets, requiring their replacement.
Generally, if the projectile in the round attracts a magnet, it is not permitted. If you have any questions regarding the suitability of your ammunition, please ask a Range Safety Officer or inquire at the range office.
Please take note: Not all steel-cored penetrator ammunition is marked. Recent 5.56mm Australian imports look just like conventional rounds. Know your ammo!
