View Full Version : Feeler for a group outing to Harris Park Sept 8th.
This is a go with the following bringing the following.
Also as a reminder this is not an official CO AR-15 shoot. But the safety rules will be followed and absolutely no alcohol allowed during the shoot. Carry out more then you bring in so we can make Harris Park nicer then when we get there.
We need to start a list of things we are bringing.
Lurch- Some shade and drinks. (Hot chocolate for those Nancy's)
Sako55- Some more shade,pasta salad, maybe some plates
Post Toastie- Canned bacon make sure you bring a can opener or someone just may shoot it with their 50.
Rooskibar03- AK, Burgers and bun all still in wrappers
SideShowBob- Plates, spoons & forks, and plastic bags for trash.
I'll keep an eye on this thread. These trips are always fun.
I would be up for that. I doubt there will be any type of fire ban/danger come Sept. [Beer]

I wonder if JMaier will piss off some motorist and start talking crap to him as he started to walk inside the Conaco. Little did the screaming motorist know J had several of the members here walking a few steps away just waiting for the STHTF. Ahhhhh the great freeze out shoot.

Good day. About halfway up the hill I kept thinking "this is nuts, WTH am I doing" but totally worth it.
Thanks for the correction, Jim. If there is snow, it won't be much in Sept... I hope. [Help]
I would be interested in this. I will need to double check the sights on my black powder rifle before elk season anyways.
If i am not hunting i will make it out there.

You just had to mention the type of people that go there, didn't you? [LOL]Actually had a "run in" with someone there with a couple of buddies that brought their wives a few years back. They went down past the parking area to use the restroom (see: trees), this guy followed them and myself and one other buddy followed him. When he got past the last car parked in the lot we made it known that we were behind him, aware he was following the two ladies. My buddy had his 12GA, and I had my Glock on my hip, both clearly visible. The guy was an extremely sketchy character but got the hint pretty quick that he had no business being anywhere near those two women, especially when they were going into the woods to pee. Never went back to HP without having at least one pistol mag with defense ammo ready to load in a moments notice. For that matter, I never go to any public area (pretty much just HP and Squaw Pass) that's used for recreational shooting without one. [Beer]
Semptember 8th is a Sunday...I'm all in.

If this is still happening put me down as a definate show. Are non members welcome ? I may even bring out the 458 SOCOM.
7 day forecast says no snow, Mid 70's 30% chance of Thunderstorms.
I will bring paper plates, good for eating off of and makeshift targets, plasticware and couple of large bags of chips.
If anyone needs a few bucks for burgers and dogs I will chip in for them.

If I am still in town next Sunday, I'd like to attend.
I could probably take a few people with me from the Windsor/Greeley area if anyone wanted to car pool, with the caveat that I could get called out for work on short notice up to the night before.
Get there early, the peeps have been starting at 6:30/7:00 am, it is a zoo.

And could someone post Coordinates ?

I am definitely in. I have some marathon driving to do the night before and the night of, but it will be worth it to get some trigger time in.
I'll be leaving the Windsor area about 6:30ish, and have to pick up a friend in Greeley at 7:00. Which means if anyone in either of those areas is interested in going, I've got capacity for an additional body.
Also, I am bringing a couple shorty guns and silencers, and will be glad to let folks try them out if interested. Anyone know if shotguns are appropriate to shoot in this park?

Okay, just located it on the map. From Bailey, how the heck do you get to the range. It looks like a can of worms trying to get there. Might have to hit someone up for a ride.

Be at the loaf & jug around 7:00 or 7:30. Usually a bunch of us meet there before heading to the range.

Departing Windsor. Factoring in drive-time and getting lost in the hills, should be there around 10:00 AM.
I'll be the guy in the grey Nissan Titan wandering the hills at 10mph, listening for gun shots.
Good folks. Good times. Thanks.
It was a good time and no snow this time. Big thanks to Johnnyego for bringing all of the toys and being generous to allow us to play with them. I see my stamp collection growing in the future.
Agreed it was a good time. We cooked some food instead of shooting it and didn't freeze. It was a bit more crowded this time then last but we still managed to take over about a 1/4 of the site.

Thanks for the nice words, guys. It was really nice to meet all of you, and my friend and I both had a great time. Now he wants to buy an AR, so that mission was accomplished. Brats were fantastic!
I was very glad that we carved out our own little corner of the range. There were a lot of shenanigans going on behind us. Not sure if you caught the shouting match between the guy who walked forward of the line on a hot range and the guy who was shooting next to him. Happened as we were leaving.
Nonetheless, the site was beautiful, the weather was perfect, and everyone left with the same number of holes they arrived with. I think it was very successful and I would gladly do it again, although next time I am bringing my own sun shade.
