I just joined the Colorado Rifle Club in Byers Colorado. I was wondering if any of you guys are members?
Colorado Rifle Club
- Thread starter Colorado Luckydog
- Start date
It seems like a decent club and not very expensive. I'll only use it in the non winter months. In the winter months I'll just be hunting.
I've been a member there since 2007 or so. Excellent facility.
As noted I am MD for a long range RF match, here:
Rifle Competition Events - Colorado Rifle Club - Long Range Rimfire Match
Match Description: This match is designed to be fast-paced, fun, safe, and to challenge competitors’ practical field shooting skills, such as wind reading, rapid target acquisition, magazine and DOPE changes during shot strings, and optionally, shooting off a tripod. This is not a PRS/NRL style...

And a fun all-prone CF match is here:

Although the MD, @Quickdraw40, doesn't post on here anymore, here is a necrothread on the match:
CO Rifle Club (CRC) Long Range Precision Rifle
A long range rifle match available to the Colorado front range shooters. Match Date: 4th Saturdays. Here are the details for your review. Don't expect all prairie dog targets but comparable shooting challenges with a bit of extended range (out to 500m/547yds). LR Precision Format Match...

The Club is also in the process of developing a new range that will allow shooting at steel to 1700y++. This new range I hope will be active later this year, but the project that is on the front burner now is the construction of a nice new clubhouse, and this is taking up most of the Board's attention at the moment.

The longest range now is 1,000y. It is set up with pits for Hi-Power and Palma shooting, but members are allowed to set out their own steel 40y behind the pits, so you can shoot 1,040y. If the range is not crowded, you can move your firing position closer, up to 2-300y, and there are protocols at the Club regarding this, but it seems to all work out, at least during the week. The 1K range is quite busy on weekends, between matches and casual shooters.
Well, it’s a good thing I have fridays off…
May have to get on this in a few months. We had to buy a new roof a few weeks ago so extra $$ is nonexistent right now
Don't wait too long. Membership is currently open, but the Board will likely be implementing a cap later this year, and a waiting list. I think there are around 1,500 members now, and as I mentioned it's just fine during the week, but getting crowded on weekends.
I'm a member there also. Don't make it up there enough, but planning to get back more. Wanting to try the rimfire match next round.
