Back in a time where the neighbors would just say dont worry about it they are not shooting across the lake just in it. That noise is the sound of freedom.

The good of days !

That is the Denver Municipal Trap shooting club.

Nailed it. For a forth place trophy on the silver one I'm wondering what the 1st place one looked like.

Jeez. Last I knew that old building with the torpedo was a boxing gym, but that was probably 15+ years ago.

You got me all excited. I thought there was a secret trap range at Sloan's or something.

Nah, just an informal target range for some of the neighborhood yutes.

And even now, if you listen real hard at night, you can still hear the gunshots around Sloan's Lake!
