Anyone know of any good places in Colorado for long range work (as in 600-1000 yards)? Preferably within a 2 hour drive from Boulder. BLM land out on the plains perhaps? National forest land somewhere? I plan to take my Gazetteer on some scouting missions to find such places but thought I would ask for a hint first [Beer]

Off topic, but is that the Boulder Rifle Club in the background of your avatar thirdeye?

And do you happen to be a member there? :D

Easy enough mistake - happens ALL of the time!

Regarding the Colorado Rifle Club - looks like a great place to shoot (esp for long range), but DANG it'd take a day trip to make the drive worth it for me.

It is. I am not a member. My good friend is. The waiting list is like 10 years or some retarded shit like that. I don't know why they don't let some more members in. The north range is barren every time we go.

Any chance you might be interested in giving another Castle Rock resident a tour? What chapter are you apart of? Franktown?
