[Marlin]

North, Spring will have sprung, so maybe there won't be any snow. :lol:

[Asha'man]

We can always hope. As always I won't know if I'm in for sure until pretty soon before, but if I can I'll be there. :)

Brian

[GearHead]

ummmm. I'll be there...

[HunterCO]

Well since some of the vampires we have on this site that obviously don't sleep and decide to call the shoot a go at 4am and cause me to miss it. I will deffinatley make this one. :lol:

Plus I have been loading and buying ammo like I only have one week to live. So I need to do some serious shooting.

[Marlin]

Vampires??, Who could You be refering too?

Oh, it wasn't 4 A.M. it was 3 A.M. :wink:

[GearHead]

Well since some of the vampires we have on this site that obviously don't sleep and decide to call the shoot a go at 4am and cause me to miss it. I will deffinatley make this one. :lol:


Hey Hunter, I'm going to the south shoot this Saturday. If weather is nice.. Feel free to stop by and shoot a couple mags with me..

[KarlPMann]

Ummm, if you're just gonna go shoot, why come all the way down here. :shock: Karl.

[HunterCO]

How about Harris Park it is a lot closer and if weather permits I would be willing to go there.

[Gman]

Where is Harris Park?

[Marlin]

Let Me know if You go, I might tag along and check it out. If it looks good, might just have to change the location of the north shoot. :)

[HunterCO]

Harris Park is just north of Bailey when you hit the top of crow hill you head north about 12 miles. It is about a 45 minute drive from Denver the only problem is you cant get to the range in a car you need a 4x4. There is a solution to this you can get with in a 1/4 mile of the range and there is a big open area to park and everybody can pile into the 4x4's for the last 1/4 mile.

When I say you need a 4x4 I don't mean it is really nasty hard core 4x4 it is just bad enough that a car will not cut it. I go there all the time if it is dry in my truck in 2 wheel drive you just need the ground clearance.

[Asha'man]

My buddy went to Harris Park a couple weeks ago, he said it was pretty nice. He also mentioned the truck requirement, though.

Brian

[WillysWagon]

I won't be able to make it as it's our 1-year anniversary 8)
I have 'other' plans :twisted:

[GearHead]

I would be willing to go to Harris Park.. Can I follow someone in??

[HunterCO]

I would be willing to go to Harris Park.. Can I follow someone in??

Weather permiting it sounds like it will be me you and marlin if we decide to do it later in the week we can all pick a mutual spot to meet.

[GearHead]

My wife is willing to go too.. I'm getting her a Walther P22 today.
Per 9news, suppost to be 62, yeah!

[GearHead]

WELL, it did say 62 earlier today

[Marlin]

OK, Back to this thread. :D

Who's in and Who would like to go to the Harris Park spot?

[HunterCO]

Makes no difference to me I am in for either spot. As far as Harris Park those with cars that big flat open area off the the right where the shotgun shells were in the road is were they can park. Then just hitch a ride the rest of the way with somebody with a truck.

I will leave up to the rest of you to pick where you want to have the shoot.

[Asha'man]

I'm down for trying Harris Park. As always, I'll have to see on the homework situation, but it's worth a shot (ha ha :roll: ).

Brian

[Gman]

I've never been to a shoot at the St. Vrain location, so that's where I'd prefer to go for the April shoot.

But if the majority ends up wanting to go to Harris Park, I'll go.

[GearHead]

I won't commit to going yet. (don't want it to snow) But I think I would prefer the Harris Park spot.

[newracer]

I hope to make this one, so I'd rather it be in St Vrain.

[PsychoI3oy]

I'm in. I can do either location as long as someone doesn't mind me riding the last bit with them.

Unless a 91 escort would have enough ground clearence? I've done some pretty crazy offroading with it.... :wink:

[Merl]

I think I can make this one

the escort will have issues with only one spot assuming that creek doesnt get too big.

HP is quite a drive but I like the longer range available.

[PsychoI3oy]

I may not be able to make it after all, we'll see.

[Marlin]

Here's a thought, {Yes, it hurt. :P } We could go to the Harris Park location, Then After We wrap up, We could go to AK47 Man's new location, and celebrate His Grand opening. :lol:

[2ndChildhood]

I just had some 'negotiations' with my wife. I can go if it's at the North location since that's only an hour away. I sure hope that's where it ends up since my right forefinger has got like athletes foot or something.

[Asha'man]

I sure hope that's where it ends up since my right forefinger has got like athletes foot or something.

Pretty sure they make a cream for that.... ;)

Brian

[7idl]

I may make this one... wheres it going to be?

[Marlin]

Let's go to St. Vrain this time.

Any objections?

[7idl]

'tis OK wid me :)

[2ndChildhood]

Woohoo! I can't wait. Maybe I can finally stop applying caladryl to my trigger finger. [calvin]

[GearHead]

Since I will prob miss this one, I have no objections.

[HunterCO]

My only objection is I have to drive through Boulder. [dead] :P

[Asha'man]

Fuck Boulder, I took I-25 all the way up last time and it was pretty fast. Made the horrible mistake of going down 93 the way back, including Boulder, and it sucked the big one.

Brian

[The1andOnlyKC]

Maybe I will have my new rifle by then.

[Meateater]

This will be my first shoot with CO-ARF. Pawnee vs. Harris Park seems to be undetermined...is the meeting place (Firestone?) still the same place and time (BTW what time?)

[Asha'man]

This will be my first shoot with CO-ARF. Pawnee vs. Harris Park seems to be undetermined...is the meeting place (Firestone?) still the same place and time (BTW what time?)

St. Vrain vs. Harris Park, not Pawnee, and it's been decided that St. Vrain is the location.

Brian

[HunterCO]

Maybe I will have my new rifle by then.

Maybe you can bring my spinner target you stole. :P

[Meateater]

Where is the St. Vrain location? I live in Longmont and do not want to drive all the way down south to the meeting place in Thornton if the shoot is in the Boulder/Lyons area.

[The1andOnlyKC]

Maybe I will have my new rifle by then.

Maybe you can bring my spinner target you stole. :P


Hey I didnt steal it. I just knew you didnt have a space for it to collect dust like I do so I gave it a good shelf to sit on. And yes I will bring it with me. If I cant come I can get it to somebody that is going.

[PsychoI3oy]

Go west on 66 to lyons, follow it through town and turn left on hwy 7. go up into the mountains 5 or 6 miles till you see a callbox, near the junction to 72. The callbox is on the left side of the road, park on the right side where the signs are. Walk over the little hill and have fun shooting!

Get your arse to the shoot! [poke]

[bennice]

There's a shooting area at the St. Vrain park? or is this the meeting place to head to the other shooting area near Lyons?

I'd go back and read the whole thread but I'm just getting ready to go shoot SOMEWHERE today, and thought I'd check here to see what's going on today.

Man, I hate going to Lefthand, but it looks like it may be the only place within a reasonable distance for me and my 2 boys shoot.

[Meateater]

What time do people generally show up?

[Marlin]

Pretty much We show up there about 11:00 or so, If nobody is needing to follow, I may get there about 10 or so.

[Marlin]

If Your going west up the canyon on 7, before You get tp 72 there is a call box. Right across 7 on the north side is a meadow up and over the hill.

[PsychoI3oy]

I really want to go but I don't know if I'll be working or not. I also know that I'll likely be working friday 2300-0700 and that makes for a really really long day.

Plus I'm out of .308, only have a couple mags of .45 (and I can't find the striker for the glock), so I'd likely show up with a big pile of .22 and my 10/22.

Sounds like about a year ago at my first shoot :oops:

I think this paycheck may have a grand total of a week on it, and the next too, so maybe may or june for me (depending on what my work schedule settles down to at this new site).

[Boots]

I plan to attend the north shoot. Since I live in Frederick, I plan on going straight up there. I will try to get there about 10.

Boots

[newracer]

All things look good, I think this might just be the shoot I finally get to attend. [postal]

[The1andOnlyKC]

Got a cousin that is coming into town going to see if him and his boys maybe want to go shooting too.

If they dont then I wont be there. I should know tonight.

[7idl]

and I suppose it'll be another one of those times where the little woman will have to OK it before you can attend...again. :twisted:

[Asha'man]

I'm planning on going out Friday night so I may not make it to the shoot till late again. ;) That's if the weather cooperates and I don't have a crapload of stuff to do.

I wanna shoot an AR, scratch the itch a little until I have mine built. ;)

Brian

[The1andOnlyKC]

and I suppose it'll be another one of those times where the little woman will have to OK it before you can attend...again. :twisted:

No she has no say in this Sat. Or Next Sat. I am going next sat.

[glockmaster]

Looks like the weather is going to be crappy up there.
Is anyone still going? i would like to check it out, i dont have an AR but can
i bring my Glock?

[2ndChildhood]

Nederland and Lyons are both supposed to be mostly sunny tomorrow with temps of 54 and 65, afternoon clouds. They pretty much bracket the site. Should be fine as long as there's not a mudfest on the ground. I'm pretty sure your glock will be welcomed with open arms. (open actions? minds? hearts?) whatever.
I'll be there unless it's raining pigs or some other massive inclement weather.

[GearHead]

You can't blame me for the weather this time.. hehe.. [calvin]

[newracer]

I'll be up there around 11:30-12. Right now it is hardly even raining around here, I don't think it will be very muddy.

Can't wait, finally get to meet some of you guys.
[poke]

[Asha'man]

Just picked up another box of WWB, so I'm set for my Glock. If the weather isn't shitty tomorrow, I reckon I can be up there about 11 or 12.

Brian

[Marlin]

I'm still going to try and be ther about 9-9:30, I'd pack Your Muck boots just in case. [abused]

[Asha'man]

0900, screw that. :) I'll be there as early as I realistically can, barring something catastrophic, and definitely bringing boots or something.

Brian

[HunterCO]

I should be there around 10:30 I am meeting one of our new members at Gunsports in Boulder he bought the upper I had for sale. I am meeting him at 9:30 then off to the shoot.


[postal]

[kwando]

i might try to make it... not 100% sure yet/

[Asha'man]

i might try to make it... not 100% sure yet/

If I remember I'll bring your plates.

Brian

[HunterCO]

Marlin you want to bring your black powder? If so let me know tonight and I will throw my BP bag in the truck.

[2ndChildhood]

Had to make a last minute trip to Jensen's for some Magpul followers.
Man I hate going there. :twisted:

[Marlin]

How about next time down south, I want to try and get a couple sighted in.

[HunterCO]

Funny you mention that those of you at the last Harris Park shoot remember that guy that came in as you were leaving? He is the guy that designs all the stuff for Magpul. Me and merlin BS'd with him for a while and he gave us pamplets and his business card. I told him about this site don't know if he joined up yet or not. He came that day to try out some new products he is working on.

No problem Marlin we can do it at the WP shoot.

See everybody in the am. :mrgreen:

[Merl]

merlin? :P

[HunterCO]

merlin? :P

Hey I'm getting old not as old as Karl mind you but .................Ok you got me. :oops:

[Marlin]

He was just combining Us into one. [wink]


Maybe they'll start confusing You for BBADMIN.




[theking]

[7idl]

the closer we get to finding out who bbadmin is, the further away we get (or the more puzzling) [detective]




I'll be there.

AR, 590A1, USP45, P220, 92F/96G, P22, Trailside.

[GearHead]

I'm gonna miss this one.. :cry:

[Marlin]

Just want to thank everybody who showed up. :mrgreen:

thanks to 7 for letting Me shoot His toys. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Other than My tooth killing Me, I had a great time.

[7idl]

[uzi]

[Obiwan]

I went up this morning

Couldn't believe all the trash

Since I know you guys wouldn't leave it like that I have to assume the worst about whoever came after you!

[Marlin]

Yea, there was another group up there at the same time, They didn't look as if they would be to concerned with cleaning up [diss] . I left early so, I can't say one way or the other.

[2ndChildhood]

I went up this morning

Couldn't believe all the trash

Since I know you guys wouldn't leave it like that I have to assume the worst about whoever came after you!

When I first saw the place, I thought the whole lot of us could spend an 8 hour day cleaning and the only way that it would make a visible dent was if we limited our efforts to the firing line area. :cry:

Since I had other priorities, I simply took out something like triple what I dropped on the ground and left it at that. I saw several others who brought trash bags as well. Several of us took them with us down range, picking up as we went to change targets. So, yeah, I guess you could say we left it like that...

Another question since I'm new to the site, what about clay pigeons?
To my eye, trashed clays look like, well, trash. It seems darn hard to pick up little shattered bits of clay, and yes I know it's pretty non-toxic as trash goes and will return to the ground eventually. but... orange colored trash sure stands out. I wonder if it would make sense as a club to make a guideline about it at least as fixed targets lying on the ground. I understand for shotgunners, you pretty much need to use them for aerial practice.

[Marlin]

Clays are designed to return from whence they came, depending on weather, could be a few weeks or a month or two.

[Gman]

I like shooting clays. If the clays are in big chunks, just step on them to crush them. They'll break down faster.

I tried to post and let you guys know that I wasn't going to make it, but the site went down from the time I had typed my post and clicked the submit button.

[Marlin]

Ahhh, So it's Your fault, Gearhead will be happy to hear that. [wink] [roll]

[7idl]

about 10 non members showed up when I was leaving

[glockmaster]

Sorry i missed the shoot, one of the kids got sick so i wasnt able to get up there this time. Looks like everyone had alot of fun.

[Obiwan]

I hauled a very full contractor garbage bag out ......

Would have done more but there was another group there sending a whole lotta rounds downrange and making me a little nervous with some of their gunhandling

[Marlin]

I know what You mean, I got there early one time to do a little pick up, and some yahoo comes up and starts blasting away with me down range. :roll:

[newracer]

I guess I missed a few of your becuase I didn't get there until abot 13:20. I had to repair some wind damage to my mother-in-laws roof in the morning. Glad to meet those of you that were still there.

Special thanks to HunterCo for letting me shoot his M16, [postal] lots of fun!!!

I was also getting concerned with the gun handling of a few non-members. :evil:

I too took out more than I brought but it still looks like crap. :cry:

[PsychoI3oy]

Yeah, thanks again to HunterCO and the guy with the AR-50 (A friend of a member, i think?) that was a blast.


Right as I was leaving, I nodded to the FS people that were there. I sarted puting my stuff in my trunk and heard BOOM <boom> <boom> as someone let loose with the .50 and it echoed off 3 sides of the canyon there. 3 seconds later someone let loose with the FA and I swear the FS people ran out of there.


[postal] [50cal]

[Asha'man]

Lol I was sitting across Hwy 7 in my truck warming it up, probably 300 yards from the range, and someone fired the .50.....I swear to god I felt my door panel vibrate. [roll]

Brian

[Meateater]

Maybe we should plan on a 0900hrs pre-shoot clean-up in June (and the obligatory post-shoot pick your own mess up).
Also, I think we should make up Club t-shirts with the CO-AR15 logo on the BACK to identify "friendly" forces, and plan on wearing them to every organized shoot. I don't want to look like a tool out there like some family at Disney, but at least we won't look like every other yahoo, and will be identified as the responsible guys who are safe and tidy. It is (almost) free advertising and might encourage weekend warriors to join, be more responsible, and possibly seek some training. We did this at my last gun club (Northern Illinois Tactical) and it worked well. Just a thought.
