Well, the weather here is nice...sure beats the hell out of all the humidity back in DFW. But, I have a big issue, there appears to be nowhere to shoot...Neither pistol or rifle. There <span style="font-style: italic">is</span> a national forest nearby...but, having never shot on public land I am a bit hesistant to jump right into it. I would really appreciate anyone local chiming in with some info on ranges or maybe some insight on shooting on Colorado public lands.

Thanks!

Stay off Rampart Range Road - it is a no shooting area. Same for the Buffalo Creek area.

Get on the other side of Kenosha Pass and start digging around on the west side of the highway, well away from the Colorado trail (it crosses at the summit).

Most of us head down into the Terryall area.

Get ya a Gazetteer.

There is also a day use range up in the Buffalo Creek area that is out to 600 yards on a KD range.

You can join CRC as well for a 1k KD range:

Welcome to Colorado! This range is FREE:

About a 2+ hour drive from the Denver area, but worth it! CRC is GTG as well. There's a 100yd range in Cherry Creek state park on the south end of Denver. Not bad in a pinch.

I live 10 minutes away from you. Check your PMs for my phone number and give me a call. It's faster than trying to list the 50 options off the top of my head here.

Good luck.

Welcome to Colorado.

I've shot at the range COFox suggested, well worth the drive.

PM me for a place to shoot pistols/AR's..outside of Idaho Springs on forest service land. You will need a 4wd vehicle to get there.

Re: Just moved to Castle Rock, CO...

Wow, thanks guys...I really appreciate all the responses. I've been itching to sling some lead since I got here. Nice to see there actually is some light at the end of the tunnel.

In this context it's more than light. Colorado is friggin blinding in this regard.
