Looks live we have a busy weekend.

Colorado Gun Collectors and Cheyenne Wells on the same weekend?

Yep, that has been the story for a few years now.
Wish they could coordinate the timing - I keep committing to the CGCA Show and missing the Cheyenne Wells Shoot.
Ah well, Ben Lomond still allows full auto.

Last year really turned me off on Cheyenne Wells. That can't control the rain but you can tell who their favorites are by who go the high ground and the better targets. Plus the night shoot was an absolute joke. Took about 3-4k of tracers to only get about a mags worth down range before they called ceasefire. Will save my $$$ and head to Big Sandy.

My experience being out there a couple of different years, and their promo video on their website, have turned me off as well.

I get that it's the middle of nowhere, but it annoys me to no end that they allow/encourage aiming up with tracers at night, to allow seeing the trace longer...

That's the antithesis of safe firearms handling.

The only thought I have is that they need to find a spot of land abutting an interstate (shooters backs to the interstate). Seeing all the facebook live videos from hipsters hiding behind their cars on the side of the interstate at night, talking about how the Russians invaded as they beg for military intervention and shit themselves would be worth it.

Now THAT I would pay money to go see.

Hmmm, drive all the way to Cheyenne Wells to watch people shooting guns I can't afford to shoot, or go to a gun show here to look at guns I can never own - decisions, decisions......

You forgot the "Go to Boulder and protest the gun and mag ban" option!
