The fabled ar-15.co shoot...

[ChickNorris]

.
I've heard rumors & tale of gatherings long ago but I wouldn't know as I've been here just under a year. I imagine coordinating it is a chore & scheduling alone is improbable as everyone is surely busy but I thought I'd put it out there to see if the seed can find soil in time to make hay while the sun still shines.

;-)

[Rooskibar03]

Had a great time at Harris Park in the snow with members. Kudos if someone can arrange another one.

[Gman]

They were usually on Saturdays at either the north or south locations. There were often volunteers for food and bevs. A senior member usually took on the role of Range Officer.

Had some fun trying out various firearms that folks would bring.

[Sawin]

Sadly the best I can offer is up to 3x guests at a time to GreenMill in Erie. If someone wants to go, shoot me a PM and I will keep in touch on my (at least once monthly) range trips. They are often times Sunday morning at 8am when I can usually have the place to myself.

While a rolling stone gathers no moss, I wouldn?t count your chickens before they hatch.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush but sometimes you should just let sleeping dogs lie.

[ChickNorris]

Yeah... I was giggling the entire time.


& I won't press comment about your hand on your bird.

Thomas sounded like he was tossing around the idea a few months ago, but nothing has materialized yet.

[Great-Kazoo]

It's been years since a large gathering of forum members did a shoot, up in pawnee grasslands. That's where i met beast556 and the Joey Trebbiani ofrum the forum.

[Gman]

My usual was south, but made at least one north, but never did make a Pawnee shoot.

[theGinsue]

It's still on the drawing board. Finding a location that works best for the greatest number of people is the long pole in the tent right now. My work schedule over the summer was in mas flux for some time but now it looks mostly open.

I'm strongly leaning to the South Site but reluctant due to it's wide open to the public nature.

Looking at late July.

do it at a more southern site, like raton and i'm in, possibly.


Or we can meet in Alburquirky then consider the entire city as a Hot Range. .

[SideShow Bob]

We will have to wait for another sub-zero temp spell to re-enact the “Great Freeze Your Balls Off Meet, Greet & Shoot” event. Or have another Dragon man event.

[Lurch]

who is going to bring the fryer and the burn a hole in it so we get to shoot the turkey with a 50?

[DFBrews]

How a about a can shoot entry fee is a 12 pack of canned food for donation and we run suppressed only.

I will never forget my quality time lying in a ditch and holding a plate over my head while taking incoming fire with some of the finest people I've met on this site. Would love to do another, minus the cross-fire and $275 off-road parking ticket!

Next time you're down this way, we can hit blm land down the road.

[UncleDave]

I would be down for a Harris Park shoot.

[ChickNorris]

Glad I said something...

[beast556]

I'm in as long as it's not to far south. Maybe some where around Denver???

[Grant H.]

I'm in since my work schedule should be a lot more manageable after Monday.

I'm also in for a grill, food, beverages, etc. Just need to know.

[Great-Kazoo]

Wash park. or civic center park?

[Gman]

Wash park. or civic center park?

I hear there's a bunch of rats we could use as targets.

[Great-Kazoo]

I hear there's a bunch of rats we could use as targets.

They don't call it a shooting gallery, for nothing.

[ChickNorris]

I meet folks @ matches but obviously not everyone here likes to shoot competitively or in the same discipline. An opportunity to put faces to familiar screen names & lead on steel sounds like a great way to spend the day. Looking forward to it indeed.

[beast556]

Glad I said something...

Are you gonna take lead on this???

If we decide on a shoot at pawnee bakers draw I'll take lead, I'm not familiar with Denver at all and have no clue where to shoot down that way.

[whitewalrus]

If you plan it, they will come :)

[MrPrena]

I do remember PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

[Great-Kazoo]

I do remember PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

That had a good turn out. Sadly the one[s] who said they'd take a shot with a hand gun @ (IIRC) 75 yds, engaging the target successfully, failed to appear.

[beast556]

The put up or shut up was a good one. Hopefully we can get another groop shoot set up.

[MrPrena]

During the next put up or shut up, if a person makes a shot what they claimed, we all clap. If not, we yell "shut up!"

:D

[TEAMRICO]

Was up at the South Site off 67 north of Woodland Park and some wizard figured it would be great to fence off the western side with wire!!! Now they blocked off lanes and now there are entry points to get to the limited lanes available.
DOW or some dumb ass agency wasted tax dollars.

[theGinsue]

Guess I need to go check it out - it's been a couple of years since I stopped in while going past.

[TEAMRICO]

As soon as you pull in the first thing you see is the wire fencing. It restricts parking in the limited spots to shoot.

[wctriumph]

I did two PUSU at Pawnee and beat everyone I shot against in pistol. I am willing to put up again on a Sunday at Pawnee / Baker Draw but it needs to be early as that place will get busy on a Sunday. I doubt if the people that go to shoot would be happy with an organized group taking over the range for half a day.

[UncleDave]

Better than an unorganized group.

We have had multiple groop shoots at bakers draw and have never had an issue with enough room. Thing is everyone says there gunna show up and no one ever does.

Chick Norris are you gonna set up a Denver area shoot???

[wctriumph]

I am good to go for a 7 - 7:30 start time any Sunday.

I wouldn't know where. Haven't been to a community shoot & don't know what to expect or what's expected other than apparently a grill & a target.

Why I was asking... so what do I need to know?

[Great-Kazoo]

I wouldn't know where. Haven't been to a community shoot & don't know what to expect or what's expected other than apparently a grill & a target.

Why I was asking... so what do I need to know?

Find a spot to shoot, pick a day & time. At least 3-4 weeks is enough time to get everything finalized. Ask for assistance RO'ing, and to see who can bring what kind of targets and how many. Of course weather / high fire danger will play a part.

Forum members either show up, or they don't. There's usually a decent turn out.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Commission some female entertainers, and do it near a lake with some beach area. Mark off a nude beach section too. Barbecue would also be great.

Metro people often gathered at Harris Park (Bailey); meet at the Loaf n Jug by the 43 turn off for those that don't know where it's at. We had a good turnout several years ago when I went. I haven't been there in a awhile so I don't know the status because I just drive to the Chaffee County range...spending the day there today.

[Hitching up pants]
I've been to a shoot (not two.)

We did it last time up at the Pawnee Grasslands/Baker Draw, and it worked out well. We were there early enough in the morning that we staked out our lanes, and had plenty to spare for the other shooters. Felt safe, family like, no problem cooking some dogs on the grill, etc. While I'd love to go south to meet Kaazoo, this is what I know, and since I'd like a shoot, I'd like to set a date.

I have hikes on the 30th, and the 4th, how about Sunday the 14th of July?

I'll volunteer to setup a list of things for folks to offer to bring (food, etc.) if that sounds okay to everyone.

Come on, do we really have to go there? Between the Boy Scouts of America and the Catholic version of "vacation bible school", there's just too much competition.

OK, I am good for the 14th. I will bring doughnuts, no special orders.

[beast556]

Sorry guys I was going to start a new thread last week for a northern co bakers draw shoot. I got pneumonia and I'm just now barley starting to get over it. If John(iego) wants to head this up thats awesome, if not late next week I will start an offical thread for the shoot.

[beast556]

Another quick thought, maybe do sandwiches this time so we dont have to bring grills and some one dosen't get stuck for 2 hours grilling in the heat. Last time the charcoal didn't make it till the end luckily there were extra propane grills and then they ran out of gas too. Just a thought??????

[iego]

I'm good with sandwiches, and I am good with heading it up, if that is okay with everyone.

It sounds like the 14th is far enough out that most can make plans, so lets do that, unless anyone has an objection.

I'll come up with a list of things we should bring (mainly lunch, and forum nametags) soon.

7:30AM on Sunday, the 14th of July. Pawnee Grasslands/Bakers Draw. Be there, or be square.

-John

[iego]

Oh, also, car pool from Denver Metro area, since it is a bit of a ride. I'll drive and can seat 3-4 in my new truck.

-John

[Circuits]

It's been hard to take the temperature of those interested, and who's located where, and where most of the most-interested people can meet up. I've only ever made one North shoot, since a couple hours in the car each way is a bit of a turn off, and I made it to three or four of the South shoots, since those were only 1/2-3/4hr each way up by Woodland Park.

Maybe put a sticky poll for North/South and interest level?

Could make it of the form:
1> not interested
2> will attend if near and convenient
3> will attend if near, might attend if far
4> will attend near or far

And have interested members reply in the thread with their preference of North or South location

[DireWolf]

Sounds interesting, but unfortunately that weekend doesn't work for me...Maybe next time.

I'm good with that, but also feel that folks that will only go to a Southern shoot can speak up here too. If enough of them speak up, then a Southern shoot will be on the table, too!

I do plan on a Denver car pool location, so that everyone doesn't have to make the drive north.

I'd love to host the Great Kazoo, but I am on a 2nd floor apartment :(

I wish they did the world a favor, and faced in. They were shooting randomly in the hill across the creek and the actual backstop berm. In the three minutes it took me to pack up my stuff and get out of there, I was muzzled at least a dozen times. Some of them started firing into the berm I was parked against as I left.

[ChickNorris]

Im sorry you had that experience. With that blatant demonstration of idiocy on their part & I'm glad you made it out safely.

[MED]

Im sorry you had that experience. With that blatant demonstration of idiocy on their part & I'm glad you made it out safely. I've seen all kinds of stupidity at those two places including one special individual who started firing his lever action 30-30 while I was still down range setting targets. It was better when I moved up here 12 years ago especially on week nights...not great but better. It's awful now.

[Lurch]

This is why I belong to BLGC. If anyone wants to run out there sometime and shoot let me know.

[JohnnyEgo]

Harris Park scares the shit out of me not just because of adjacent shooting idiots who will walk out on a hot line to retrieve their targets, but because on at least two occasions, I've seen idiot hikers walk out of the tree line.
Pawnee Baker Draw has more rules, and I've seen a lot more of FWC and periodic LEO presence, with an eye towards those rules being enforced. But I've also seen a dad who let his kids climb on the back side of the berm, and folks who set up a shooting line just to the sides of the Draw, 'because there are no rules in the grasslands', and end up shooting over or into the berms while folks are downrange. These are some of the reasons I quit shooting outdoors by myself, and joined Pawnee Sportsmans with Jim, the other being his undeniable charisma and persistence.

Which is a lot to say that stupid people are everywhere, you take your chances wherever you go, and when FWC gets nosey about whether a random group of well-armed strangers are behaving appropriately on the line, I take it with a grain of salt. But I was still really pissed when they gave me an 'offroading' ticket for parking 10 feet off the road that one time. Regardless, I have a (moderately) high (partly unfounded) degree of faith in the motley crew of this forum, having shot with several of you before, and will gladly take the risk, and bring toilet paper. And while we can't bring full auto, shotguns, or the 50s, I can bring a bunch of weird shit that might be fun to shoot, like an integrally suppressed .44, and a suppressed Tavor, an SR25, etc... as well as a pile of fancy 1911s.

Is anyone coming to the glock shoot July 12-14th at weld county fish and wildlife? It?s open to everyone though sold out but weld county 4h is doing their county shoot then too if anyone wanted to come by and see what?s going on. Also look at the wcfw website for the calendar all the shoots are open to non members as well.

I doubt anyone attending this event will be at the GSSF on the 14th. Or they might, like a retired .gov retiree, double dip . Outside the warmer temps in the afternoon, that's the best time to do a GSSF. Most everyone has come & gone, making the stages go faster with hardly anyone there.

People don't have to "reserve" if they don't want to, too, just show up. It's all good.

Chick, thank you for offering plasticware, but that made me remember I still have a bunch of plasticware and paper cups from the last meet and will bring those. You are already bringing a lot!

Watching this one....trying to figure out how to go see Dad this summer and make it to this shoot...

[Grant H.]

It will depend on timing with some other previously scheduled activities, but I am going to try and make it.

Assuming I can make it, I will bring a cooler of water and drinks on ice, some additional sandwich fixings, and some chairs and canopies.

Plus some other stuff...

I saw you have me on the list. I'm redoing my driveway with 100 tons of recycled asphalt, 30 tons of fill dirt, and doing a 20x12 slab the previous week. Assuming all that goes well and nothing happens to the bobcat I'm renting, I'll be there.

[theGinsue]

I'm sure you have all noticed that I've been absent from this thread for a while.

Originally, I'd planned to set up an official site shoot. This thread quickly got out of control with others making plans outside of what I was looking to achieve or able to support; it got a life of it's own.

While I do hope all of you have a great time at this event, please note that it is not an official site sponsored shoot. I hope that safety has been appropriately planned and is equally executed.

I did notice & it did, yes. Only takes one unobserved moment of idiocy to ruin everyone's day, agreed. I won't be suffering any idiots come next Sunday. Thanks for the well wishes.

Are you still planning or?

[theGinsue]

Not enough time to try to schedule a shoot for this summer. Decided when this shoot took its direction that anything I tried to plan within the window I have available would conflict with this shoot.

[Mick-Boy]

At some point we should do something that’s a little closer to those of us south of Denver.

[ChickNorris]

At some point we should do something that’s a little closer to those of us south of Denver.

Agreed.

[whitewalrus]

At some point we should do something that?s a little closer to those of us south of Denver.

I would be interested in something for the south.

[theGinsue]

So, for those of you (us) further south, where would you recommend we have a shoot? The South Site seems trashy and we can't guarantee someone won't crash our party. I can't think of any other public site that doesn't charge.

[thedave1164]

I am a tentative maybe possible for the 14th at Bakers Draw at 7:30am

[ChickNorris]

: )

[beast556]

Dosen't seem like many are going to show. Should we just skip the food???

[zteknik]

Unfortunately I wont be able to make this one :( maybe next time.

[dan512]

As far as a shoot down south, I know a number of us are member at Frontier Sportsmans club. Provided we can get enough members together, that may be an option. There is also always Pueblo West.

[Circuits]

So, for those of you (us) further south, where would you recommend we have a shoot? The South Site seems trashy and we can't guarantee someone won't crash our party. I can't think of any other public site that doesn't charge.

I haven't been out to the forest beyond Woodland Park since shortly before Rew died, so I don't have a good feel for conditions there.

Since Rampart was closed, I've only shot at indoor ranges (Whistling Pines, Magnum), CMSC and Dragonman's. All charge, and may be difficult to set up a group event, especially on a weekend.

If not charging is the primary factor, then the South site it must be. Trash is trash, but having enough bodies in place will tend to squeeze out party crashers, unless they're particularly sociable types.

[JohnnyEgo]

Dosen't seem like many are going to show. Should we just skip the food???

Still going, but equally comfortable with bringing a lunch as assembling one on-site.

I know there are several members here that are also members at FSC. The south range (east of PPIR) is a good location for groups and there is no issue with members brining guests. That would be my first thought.

[Mick-Boy]

Umm.. Yeah. What Dan512 said.

Hate to say it, but I think Frontier South might be a better option than Pueblo West.

[Rucker61]

Is anyone interested in adding a "pay it forward" exercise to the shoot? I know I've got stuff I'd like to pass along to anyone that could find a use for it.

[ChickNorris]

Does Frontier south have the shotgun/ trap area @ the top of the hill when you first enter?

Edit: Nope. Now I know which y'all are referring to. Haven't been to that location before.

[ChickNorris]

Still going, but equally comfortable with bringing a lunch as assembling one on-site.

Same here

[beast556]

Looks like we should skip the food on this one.

[electronman1729]

Looks like we should skip the food on this one.

I agree creates more work to setup and clean, wgen we should be shooting.

[wctriumph]

I'll still bring doughnuts, bring your own coffee. I should be there by 7:30 at the latest and lets hope the cows have not taken over the range.

I am a member of Frontier as well. We get 2 guests per, or we could always ask to hold the event from the board of directors.

South range would definitely be the better option if we went with them.

I refuse to step foot on the Falcon Range. Huge safety hazard with houses in the impact area.

[thedave1164]

they are ok, you need to stake them down or sandbag them to keep them upright with any wind

I will pick up some stakes, probably have some cardboard around

[JohnnyEgo]

I've got two of a very similar design, which I will bring along with two IDPA cardboards and some firring strips. If need be, one can drive the firring strips directly into the ground with a hammer, staple the cardboard and run as is.

I am probably going to pitch camp on the 50 yard range to start, just because this is a group of AR enthusiasts so it would be ironic to stick to the handguns only 25 range.
I have a small rifle rack, but I will try to make a larger one tomorrow, just in case. Won't be fancy.

So again, I apologize that I won't be able to make it. However, I can remote quarterback this.

I see my name got up there with a question mark. While I certainly would be quite entertaining to watch, you all might be laughing so hard from my poor aim there might be serious bodily injury from all the laughter.

Sorry, I saw the list of potential members going, and I will not be there.
If someone wants to cruise by my way Saturday afternoon, I can donate two wood target stands made to use firring strips, but no strips, to mount targets and about a half dozen IPSC home made targets, just cardboard full size outlines no A,B and C zones.

And I was planning on borrowing guns while I was there, I no longer have any since the floods of 2013 when Cherry Creek broke its banks and washed my safe to parts unknown.

Did you respond to that fire?

Good to see everyone, huge thank you to everyone that brought stuff for everyone, the jug of water was a life saver. Sorry again chick norris for stealing all your brass.

Great to meet some fellow enthusiasts. Thanks beast556 for helping me get on target.

[wctriumph]

It was great to see others I knew and to meet new people and make new friends. Thanks to all that showed up, it was a good day.

I also verified that shooting well is a perishable skill. I really sucked at anything over 15 yards. There was a great variety of firearms to sample and targets to shoot at.

Thanks again to all that made it, I look forward to shooting with you again.

[ChickNorris]

Good company yesterday & it was a pleasure to finally meet all of you. I enjoyed putting faces & names to the respective sn's. Very nice to see you again too Dave, especally now/after sporting that shark bite & I'm glad to see you're recovering nicely. No worries on the brass Beast, I'm glad it'll find use. Unsure if there was anyone from the forum there that I didn't get to meet, apologies if that was the case. I did meet a few new folks (Peter, Eric & the golden bearded fellow whose name escapes me just now, sorry) & encouraged them to stop by here. Hopefully they read this & decide to join ar-15.co

Thank you to everyone who was very generous & let me ogle/fondle/sample all of collective firearms as that was a real treat. Being I'm so rifle-centric I was a bit surprised that my favorite of the day was the tac sport orange. Liked it well enough I might have to see about finding one for a real test drive. ;-)

Another unexpected joy was to finally fire my first revolver, yay. It was the Ruger super black hawk special .44, I believe. First firearm I've ever tried that required a bit of extra effort to manage. It actually hurt a little to shoot which made me giggle (a lot) & it was uniquely fun. Thank you for staying a little longer than planned so I had the opportunity. : )

A successful event, I'm glad everyone had a good time. As expected, everyone in our group set an exemplary standard on the firing line as well as for all the folks who weren't with us. We all made extra effort to leave the range in better condition than we found it & packed out a lot of discarded trash as well.

I hope we can do it again in the fall (maybe?) so that other folks who were unable to attend can partake in the fun. Cheers!

[ChickNorris]

Looking forward to participating in a southern shoot now.

If it matters, the fourth Sunday of each month & the first Saturday in Sept. is a no go for me. I'm extra fond of shooting the tactical rifle matches. ;-)

[iego]

Glad to hear it was a successful event and looking forward to actually attending the next one!

Just so you're clear on the revolver you handled so well, it was a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 magnum.

I am a little late to reply, in part because it took me this long to unpack my truck:

Anyways, in my limited experience, this was about as good as it gets. A surprisingly large number of shooters showed up, shot safely, and nobody was an a-hole. I met some great folks and had some really good conversations. No blood, no sun burn, and I came back with as many guns as I started with, not less, not more. Would gladly shoot with all of you ruffians again. Hell, I might even bake a pie next time.

I met some great folks and had some really good conversations. No blood, no sun burn, and I came back with as many guns as I started with, not less, not more. Would gladly shoot with all of you ruffians again. Hell, I might even bake a pie next time.

What is a tactical rifle match? Sounds interesting.


I'm extra fond of shooting the tactical rifle matches. ;-)

There is only one way to get better. Get out there and do it.

Always good people to shoot with & a challenging course of fire. Went for my first time last year & I haven't missed a match since.

[glocktoberfest]

sounds like all long range (200-600) yard shooting. is that correct? i need practice at that too, but just wondering what to bring

[ChickNorris]

@ Hoser's tactical rifle the target distances vary (on average) between 130ish & 300 yds depending on the stage & his whimsy.

Last match one of the 3 stages was a Texas star @ 100 yds from the start position with a subsequent array of staggered targets that went out to 180ish, all to be shot from 5 different barricade positions & under par time.

About as much fun as a lady can have with her skirt in the correct orientation. ;-)

[ChickNorris]

. . . but just wondering what to bring

Rifle & case, 3 mags min & a way to carry them, approved ammo, eyes/ears, 15$.

Anything else you might want for your shooting comfort, sling, gloves, knee caps etc.
I suggest fluids, a brass bag, sunscreen & a sense of humor.




Did I forget anything?

[glocktoberfest]

Thanks CN. I meant which to bring.... 308, 223, 6.5 [UZI]

Having the mobility to get into those physical positions, shoot, and then get out of those positions. [blaster]

Sorry folks, I seemed to have derailed the thread by bringing up the tac rifle matches. However, they are a bit like a southern club shoot every month...

I in no way connected those 2 statements...but...

Johnny let me know if you want to go shooting anytime out at galeton being you're a fellow windsorite, frankly if we have a fall shoot I'll bring my ak's.... All of them hehehehe (I'll need to build a big folding rack though)

IF a fall shoot is possible, i might show up. Just need enough lead time and perhaps a place to stay for a day.

I would be delighted to join you! Going to have a window of opportunity right between the end of hail season and the middle of hurricane season, so late August/early September my schedule opens up considerably. If you need a big folding rack held together by randomly sized handcut dovetails, I have a spare.

[ChickNorris]

I ended up accidentally trading mags with someone & would like to tade back please. Its my cz75 mag with a small reddish x marked on the foot & has windows. Pic soon.

[Edit] Think it might have been with Rucker61 & his Cajun Tactical Cz75 as the mags are quite similar. ;-)

Very faint reddish cross pictured.

That time frame would work for me too I just cant do anything the weekend of august 17th as thats when we have the state shoot for 4h. If you have a folding rack you want to get rid of i would be more than happy to take it off your hands :)

[JohnnyEgo]

If you're talking about the big rack with the half-assed dovetails, you can just have it. Come by any time. It actually solves a problem in that I don't want it taking up space, but it seemed too wasteful to put it on the curb, even as a practice piece. So you'd be doing me a favor taking it off my hands!

[jreifsch80]

I sent you a private message Johnny that rack would even work great for my 4H shooters

[TheInfamous1]

I just noticed my name was on the list...

I don't actually own guns anymore... I joined a religious sect that only believes in love and compassion for one's fellow man...

I sold all my guns to a Government buy back program and donated the money to my church...

Or something like that anyway...

Happy to do so. I need to get the Garands and Carbines out for some exercise ...

[buffalobo]

Interested, but later in sept. My dance card is busy till mid sept.That would definitely be a south shoot.

[ChickNorris]

I was thinking maybe the 25th. Unsure of a venue still. Suggestions?

[wctriumph]

I am certainly interested, never shot at a southern location.

Thanks Chicky
