12-11-10 The frozen nuts shoot.

[jerrymrc]

Unless it is snowing I will be at the south site for the last one of the year. So make your plans for two weeks from now. :)

[ronaldrwl]

We need organization skills here man! I would like to come and I do most of the time; but the ones that show up come to early in the morning for me. Or, everyone shows up at different times. We need someone to step up and organize a time with severe penalties! Like reducing your post count. Yikes!

[jerrymrc]

I mostly go for the site, to meet members and the drive. My range is closer and normally almost empty.

[DeusExMachina]

On the calendar!

[Marlin]

No guarantees, I will try and be there.. See if it works out..

[enthusiast]

I will be there. I usually stay there a while.

[SideShow Bob]

Is this a private shoot, or open to any yahoo ( such as myself ) on COAR15 ?
And is it an organized event of competition courses ? Or just a get together and popping targets ? And last, Where is the "South Site" ?

It is not organized in any way shape or form. We do enforce safety. I try and bring targets and steel. Mostly shoot at 100 yards. South site is just north of Rainbow Falls on 67. I think if you look at the sticky's up top you will find a map.

The road off the highway is short to where we shoot but sometimes not friendly to some cars. That said I have taken the TA up there.

[SideShow Bob]

Thanks for the Info. My AR is still a virgin and needs sighting in. This sounds like a good opportunity to do this, and meet a few members at the same time.
And of course it goes without having to be mentioned,
RANGE SAFTEY IS ALWAYS FIRST.

What, no wise crack about a virgin AR ?
You must be getting old to let that one get by you.

[roman gnome]

We were there this afternoon to test some 44mag and 9mm reloads.

And to get rid of the last of our pumpkins from the garden.Was not half bad.

Sounds good i'll mark it on my calendar.

Would someone please PM me directions from the Springs? I'm not much of a navigator and haven't been to the South Site yet.

Do you want directions from the springs or Denver?

[Anton]

Do you want directions from the springs or Denver?

Well, Denver. I just assumed that part of those directions would be "go to the Springs" which is one of the few things I am capable of doing. [Coffee]

[DeusExMachina]

Its a fun drive through Pike Forest from Denver. Or you can take the wussy way. :)

Nobody seems to like to post this but here's the site: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=N39+08.603+W105+07.697&sll=39.52847,-104.956221&sspn=0.013522,0.029032&ie=UTF8&z=17

Coming from Denver 285 to Co126. At deckers it turns into 67. If you hit the Rainbow falls sign turn around and go back about 1/2 of a mile. Dirt road and stop sign on the left (so coming from Denver it is on the right). It is a nice 1/2 hour drive through the Forrest.

Normally you will drive right past it the first time. If I go early I will put a sign on the stop sign when I get there. I will be in a 98 white dodge std cab truck.

[BPTactical]

Anybody have GPS coordinates to the site?

Click on the link and you can see the coordinates.

[Anton]

Thanks for the directions guys. Short of snow, I'll be there.

[BPTactical]

Click on the link and you can see the coordinates.

Thank You

[SideShow Bob]

Can someone translate the GPS coords into Latitude and Longitude ?
I have an older Nav. unit, it can only do Lat. & Long.
Give me a break, I was still using a VHS until last year.

If it aint broke, don't replace it. If it is broke, put it in the basement you might be able to to use it for something someday.

EDIT:
Also when you go to maps.google.com and click on the red arrow it converts it to lat and long.

[SideShow Bob]

DOH !,
Never mind, operator error, the way I was entering the coords kept putting me in the NW corner of Idaho [ROFL1]. I figured out the problem this morning.
Thanks for the help.

[Scanker19]

Hey jerry assuming the weather will be nice will a Camry make it there, on the roads that is?

[jerrymrc]

Should not be a problem. The dirt road is only about 1/4 mile in. just go slow and you should be ok.

[SideShow Bob]

Does anybody going have a plastic "clothes pin" bipod I could borrow while there so I can get a decent sight in on my AR ?

[jerrymrc]

I will have mats and some sort of support. My std target is the NRA HP 200 reduced for 100 yards but I can bring a few USGI 25M sight in targets for M4/A2. Get it at 25 or so and go from there. ;) Of course I will have to refrain from having flashbacks of running ranges but I promise I will only yell once about you not being able to hit the broad side of a barn. (that WAS a funny by the way) :)

I will bring the junk and you will get sighted in.

[SideShow Bob]

I got the M-4/A-2 25 Meter target from the internet to print out and have a shooting mat. Just no support. (bipod, sandbags or such.)

[ronaldrwl]

I'm planning on being there around 10:30 in a black Dodge 1500 truck.

[enthusiast]

I will be there around 10:30 as well. I will be in a White Cherokee. I will be setting up all the way in the back but will come down for a while.

[DeusExMachina]

What are you doing up in the back? Besides being antisocial. :D

[beast556]

Any one from around Ft fun/loveland going that I could get a ride with? I dont have a vehicle that I would trust to make that far of a journy right now. I have gas money.

Bryan

[BPTactical]

Not 100% sure if I am going to make it-depends on if I can get some work cranked out in enough time.

Check your PM's beast556- if I am going to make it and you can get to the northern outskirts of Denver you have a ride.

[SideShow Bob]

Aw, is it going to be too cold for your frail old body, [ROFL1].
I apologize, I'm just kidding, I wouldn't want to offend you.
Now get off the internet and get that work done !
I want to have at least one person there that I know.
Stranger danger .

[Troublco]

I may see if I can make it, too, and bring the boy back out with me. Time to play with the Grendel, I think, and maybe the SPR.

In 48hrs I will know you as well. Scary thought eh......

[Scanker19]

will any body have a front sight tool?

[beast556]

If I make it down there I have a front sight tool for an AR and a AK/sks.

[WillysWagon]

Last shoot of the year, ehhhh.
Think I'll have to make this one just to say hello to all the people's I've never meet before. Here's looking forward to seeing some new faces [Beer]

WW

[opie011]

I reall ywish I could make this one. Brother in-law is coming in from the Navy and the wife says I have to help clean up the house[Bang]. Oh well I got to go shooting last saturday! Hope you all have a great time[Beer]

Has anyone caught tomorrows weather forecast for the south site area ?

Looks good so far. There might be a dusting tonight but that has never stopped me. I used to camp out at the Buffalo Creek range in the winter.

[WillysWagon]

Trying to decide on what to bring.
Decisions, decisions.

[jerrymrc]

Decisions, decisions.

So far I am bringing the Izzy A1 AR, The 7.62X25 Fal and the metric Fal. I may throw the SAR3 in there in case the wife comes.

[WillysWagon]

Well, work made it easy to decide what to bring.
I have to work tomorrow morning, bummers.
I'm actually still at work now.
So have fun guys, I won't be able to go as planned

[BPTactical]

I am off of the dockett for this go around guys. I have too much work to get done myself.
Springtime?

You will pay for that. ;) And here I was planning on ya being there.

[jerrymrc]

Weather looks great. See everyone there.

[SideShow Bob]

Yes Sir,
I'll have to be hitting the road pretty soon, my NAV. unit shows a 2+ hr. drive if I go the US 285 route out of the metro area and about the same for the I-25 to the springs route.

[WillysWagon]

You will pay for that. ;) And here I was planning on ya being there.

I know !!
I'm plugging away at work now.
But work 'does' allow me to even have my hobbies, so no complaints from me.
Plink a few targets for me and you know the rules;

POST PICS WHEN YOU GET BACK [Beer]

[ronaldrwl]

And a good time was had by all

[enthusiast]

Where were you guys at? I was not sure which group of guys you were so I pulled up way in the back.

My new Saiga 12 was awesome.

[ronaldrwl]

We were the first ones you would have seen.

[Anton]

I wish I would've had more time to talk to other forum members but my (non-shooter) friend required a lot of attention.

She had bigger boobies than Ronald though so its okay. [Coffee]

I may have gotten someone new interested in shooting though, which is pretty cool.

[SideShow Bob]

Everyone left me and I had to play with myself for a while before leaving too.

Now that just did NOT sound right [ROFL1]

[nikon]

when will the next shoot be? I work in Alaska and won't be able to make this one. How many people tend to show up to these things?
