Colorado Springs training venues?

My Wife and I just relocated to Co Spngs. Anybody know of a solid training spot.
Good classes, practical range rules…just a place to stay current.

Thx guys.

I can't help you with good places to train as when i lived there i used the ranges on base, FT Carson. You will see people shooting off the dirt Gold Camp road behind Cheyenne Mountain on the way to Cripple Creek - decades ago, that was legal to do (there was even a shooting range off the road) - I got talked to by the police in 2018 doing that -- it is not legal now and you have to walk a certain distance off the road (i don't remember the distance maybe a mile) to be legit. If you make the trip and walk the walk, clean up after yourself -- it's terrible all the trash people leave behind.

There are also indoor ranges like Magnum Shooting Center https://magnumshootingcenter.com/

and DCF guns https://www.dcfguns.com/location

But i usually go to Dragon Man's since I live about 4 miles from there.

SIG Sauer Academy apparently has a satellite location in Colorado Springs. You can find a class listing on their website (filter by location).
