Otherwise there is plenty of Forest Service land around. Look out for fire bans which typically also mean shooting bans.

Thought I'd resurrect this old thread because I didn't see another. Leadville has a very nice, free, public range open now. No frills but very nice. Just south of town by the airport next to the motocross area. Unmonitored. I asked the nice lady and the Leadville courthouse that gave me a map to it what the rules, hours etc were and she just shrugged. Bathroom also. Don't get caught in Leadville needing ammo though. Only a couple of places sell it. Not much selection and of course horse choking prices. Had some scouts at Turquoise Lake a few weeks ago and we shot there because the area of the forest around the lake doesn't allow shooting.

Great tell everyone....lol. It is a decent range though, as long as everyone cleans up after themselves it will stay that way.
