Uh, Boulder... Nuf said.
good luck. i would have to see what range it was at we have two I'm guessing the north! huh news to me. should be interesting what they conclude the funny part is the boulder sheriff's use the boulder rifle club range for there qualifying each month huh?
Maybe they'll just start carrying long stem roses instead of rifles

A few more 'errant rounds' in the right places would do a lot more for the world's problems than love. [Tooth]

Sure close the range and while it closed we can use his back yard. The Boulder Rifle club has a cap of 500 members and all slots are full, good luck with trying to get it to close

With the idiots in Boulder, I'm not sure that 500 members could matter. Best of luck to ya'll.
Everyone please fill in the "Location" field in your profile so I can shit on your town in the next thread. Thanks!

22 square miles surrounded by sanity.
There was an incident at Frontier gun club late last year.
Some rounds went into a guys garage 2000 yards from the range. 55gr .223 and fairly close together. Of course they blamed the club even though you would have had to lob them at a 45 angle or so just to get them there....

I say FUCK Boulder. I hate that town. they have bullshit laws, bullshit politics and a massive amount of near zombie fucktards living there. I feel bad for any of you guys behind enemy lines.

Waaaaaaah!!!!! My pussy hurts....... I fuckin' hate Boulder. Pretty town, but stuck in about 1969. I should have known I wasn't going to feel comfortable there considering I'm from Colorado Springs.

There must be something in the water up there. I am out in the county fortunately. Everyone in my neighborhood around me is a gun toting hardcore conservative, except for one teacher. Go figure.
Didn't the neighbors try and use the "errant" round theory, when plans started to expand the range, a few years ago?
My favorite quote from the comments section.
Remember the case where a Boulder pilot was caught vandalizing his own airplane ...?Just so I can be one of the kewl kids...BOULDER SUX!!!!!!!!![Rant1][Rant2][BooHoo][Peep]
Wow I just rough crunched the numbers in my head...
Here is another article with video of this jackass:

For some ballistics expert, this guy is an idiot.
Looking at google maps (3900 block of Pebble Beach Drive.) his house is about 2000 yards from the end of the 200 yard range making it about 2200 yards.
Even if someone was shooting 300 win mag (37+/-inch drop per 500yd (http://www.shootingtimes.com/ballistics/300_winmag.html)) = 148 inch drop. That's freaking 12 feet of drop. Unless someone fired their gun in the air this didn't come from BRC.
Gentlemen Boulder is lost.... it's California mini. I got out and so should everyone else.

he claims a .300 mag has a 2 mile effective range.
Why the hell does the MILITARY not use a 300 mag. I personally know of NO Military weapon that is chambered in 300 mag. ??
can anyone correct me ?

wooops ..............
apparently the m24 sniper rifle is .300 mag.............
which the army calls an effective range of 1500 yards........... some quick math ........ .85 miles...................

and another thing..............
if this guy is supposed to be a forenics expert........
even IF some how someone aimed ( dropped and a round went off) a .300 mag rifle at the boulder rifle club .....
How the HELL could he use a LASER ( which shoots a straight line beam ) show the path of a bullet in OBVIOUS major dropping mode ??
...... if you can tell I'm hella pissed off at this guys horseshit.
