Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
I'm over in Westminster CO, just relocated FL
Don't think I will be in-town for the Machine gun shoot otherwise I would love to check it out. I am picking up some new glass for my 20" REPR and then I need to get it sighted in.
With the nice weather rolling in I can't wait to go shooting here in CO. In FL it was nice that in that I had a 1000yd range about an hour away but it seems here we have plenty of places to shoot where we can even get past 1000yds.
So I am working up what I want for a 338 Lapua build.

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
I just got the email that the machine gun shoot was canceled. It should happen in the fall now but who knows. I am still down to go out to the CRC and hit the 1000yd range whenever the post office finds the bolt for my gun.

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
Some of you guys should get up out of the dirt and come out to Colorado Rifle Club(CRC) and shoot high power silhouette. We shoot high power silhouette on the first Sunday every month. You don't have to be a member to shoot in the competitions. Just pay your entry fee, stand on two feet and shoot. Furthest targets are 547 yards out (500 meters) and we shoot all off-hand. Nice animal shaped steel targets at different ranges that are reactive and incredibly rewarding when they fall. It isn't an easy game, but it is ADDICTIVE!
So brush the dirt off your bellies and come out and shoot on your own two feet! This is more fun than any type of shooting that I have ever done.
Below is a link to our Colorado silhouette schedule (pdf), this is for both smallbore and high power. Some of you might recognize the web address. The creator of On Target shooting software also administers our CO silhouette blog.

Hey everyone,
New guy from Colorado here (south of Greeley). I have been a avid shooter my whole life but just recently got into the long range game. VERY ADDICTING lol. Working on getting the range at my house set up out to 1500yards but would be cool to find other places to go play once I learn enough not to embarrass my self.

There are some guys from Greely in the thread, and the Pawnee Grasslands seem to be a great place to shoot ELR. But if you can shoot to 1500 on your property that's pretty sweet!
Please PM me if you go to Pawnee and I'll try to join you - I don't know my way around there and want to check it out. I mostly shoot at the CRC.

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
I am talking with a couple of brokers to buy some vacant land. Looking at 160-200 acres. Trying to get it so that its 1 mile x 1/4th mile dimension for the lot so I can reach out to 1700 yards. This would allow me to setup targets and berms and not have to lug 100lb steel like when shooting on BLM land.

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
Glad to see this thread is still alive! I forgot about it. I'm trying to get back into shooting between mountain climbing, and so just ordered a few hundred rounds of ammo from Southwest. I'm interested in getting out into open land to figure DOPE and come ups etc. with a new batch of ammo.
I've been to the Buena Vista DOW range a few times and love it, but would like to find something closer. It seems that every good range (CRC, BV-DOW) is over 100 miles from where I live! I think Pawnee is too.
Anyway, I'll be trying to get out again soon this spring/summer in order to drive my gun better so I can enter some comps...like the steel match at CRC or the matches down in Raton.

Not sure if you have gotten out to pawnee, but here is a good map http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5188822.pdf, as you can see it is checker board with Private and public land. Hwy 14 from Ault and North on WCR 61. Grids 12 and 13 have slots east to west for small bore, pistol and shotgun. The Rangers have moved long range shooting out to grid 4, you will see a makeshift barbed wire gate with a sign "keep closed". There are several 250 hills and some that reach way out there. I like to go on the week day though, because the weekend every yahoo is out there and dont always shoot with common sense.
I spoke with one of the rangers and they will be putting some CO funds into an actual covered shooting range at grid 13. Guess they want to herd everyone into one location, but you can still hunt small game and Antelope in any of the public areas (with the appropriate tag.) Also there are plenty of cotton tails, jacks, and yotes out there. PD towns as well but I'm not giving away my hotspotMan is it the 15th yet?

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
Going up to Colorado next weekend for a little R&R. I'll be staying with a friend in Evergreen, about 30 minutes outside of Denver. Going to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb next weekend and have the rest of the following week to screw around. I believe he wants to go to the Pawnee Grassland to stretch some rifles out. Just wanted to know if there were any places in the mountain ranges to shoot?
Thanks!

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
the Boulder Rifle Club has a very loooooong wait list, like 8-10 year wait. I have been waiting for 4-5 years and have a long way to go. They do have a rifle match there the second Sunday of the month. Fun match that I shoot quite often. Kind of like 3-gun for bolt rifle.

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
I am trying to get some of the guys around here to throw together a trip to the DOW steel range over a weekend. Right now, my rifle is at the smith's. He is building a custom brake for it, and it is getting some cutting and threading and crowning as well. I am waiting patiently... yeah right, on my CDI bottom metal and Manners T3 GAP Molded.
Once everything is together and singin it's pretty little song, I will have some more details to pass along. This is definately something that I want to do, and soon.
The plan would be to head out after work on a Friday and stay the night in Bueno. Get some early grub and head to the range to bang some steel. Spend probably the majority of the day there, and either head home that afternoon or stay over again Saturday night, then head home on Sunday morning.

I am trying to get some of the guys around here to throw together a trip to the DOW steel range over a weekend. Right now, my rifle is at the smith's. He is building a custom brake for it, and it is getting some cutting and threading and crowning as well. I am waiting patiently... yeah right, on my CDI bottom metal and Manners T3 GAP Molded.
Once everything is together and singin it's pretty little song, I will have some more details to pass along. This is definately something that I want to do, and soon.

Give me a heads-up as far out as you can. Seems as I get older my time gets monopolized more and more.

Is there a way to get notifications when there are updates to threads on the Hide? I try to check this thread from time to time, but sometimes I forget. I'd hate to miss out on a gathering.
I'm not sure why I can't figure this out. It is so simple on all the other forums I am on.

If you have the time, head out to the Buena Vista DOW steel range. It's about 2.5 hours from your location, but well worth it. It's free and very well maintained. About 100 steel targets out to ~1100 yards, it will test you

The DOW range is Salida is great. It is located off of US285 just north of Salida. Take the entrance for the Chaffee county landfill and turn left at the fork. Here are the GPS coordinates for the entrance.

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
I'm staying in Fort Collins until Tuesday. Already hit the local gun stores and the only one I liked was Action Arms on South College. I've got two 17HMR's in CZ 452's here but don't know of any place to shoot that's worthwhile. Been thinking of driving up to Wyoming to help reduce the rat population. The ones in Colorado are honorary citizens apparently.

Must not be the time of year for Prairie Dogs. Didn't see a single one in over 100 miles of driving. Very pretty area though. I'd bring a map and a gps as 2/3rd's of the grasslands are private.
Didn't fire a single shot but did get to be first response to a single truck rollover accident in the middle of nowhere. He lost control at 65 on gravel and no seatbelt. Walked away from it no obvious injury. He was out from Fort Collins to shoot Prairie Dogs too he said.

You mean the $100 I spent on Prairie Dog calls at JAX was a waste of money? Next time I'm in Fort Collins I'll have to give you a call!

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
Prairie Dog call???
One thing about the dog towns out on the Pawnee... those dogs have been shot at A LOT. You don't get a lot of close in shots, so you gotta bring your A game.

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
I feel like a little kid after hearing about the DOW range in Buena! I never knew that place was there. My new scope can't get here soon enough now! Thinking I'll have to head up there next weekend (the 24th or 25th) if anyone wants to join me.

Re: Colorado: Places to Shoot, People to Shoot With
LOL, yeah, I had heard that. I think that maybe you gotta get out of your truck and do a bit of walking. Others told me that they go down even if they hear a vehicle coming. I'll vouch for that.
