Got my AR all put together and ready to roll, now I just need to sight her in. Can anyone recommend a range/spot near Metro-Denver where I can do this? If I gotta run to the hills, so be it... and suggestions would be appreciated.

Cherry Creek,, Gotta pay to get into the park, and then pay again at the range,, Plus, I have heard that they aren't real friendly to the Black rifle..
If You can Hold off till Sat. Our Monthly shoot happens..
Cherry Creek is your best choice in the metro area.
They've been friendly to all my black rifles... so don't worry about that (you just can't rapid fire).
See, That's how long since I've been there,,,[Tooth]
Cherry Creek sounds good, but their website says only 50yd and 100yd rifle targets. I really want to sight-in at 25yds. Are they flexible with moving targets around... or is the 50/100 setup pretty permanent?
Also... where's the monthly shoot? That sounds like it'd be more my style.
I have a rifle i need to sight in, i'll probably head to the North site either today or tomorrow.
That's the closest place i know of, not a fan of the public ranges. Plus with gas being around $2 now, it will be cheaper to drive the 45 minutes anyways. Let me know if you need any help or want to join.
Sucka, I'd love to join you. North site sounds great, and I've never sighted-in before, so any help would be greatly appreciated. PM to setup a place/time to meet! THANKS!Quote:

I have to ask...why do you want to sight in a rifle at 25 yards? That's pistol range. Or did you mean 250 yards? You could join the Ben Lomond Gun Club, we have ranges out to 600 yds. www.blgc.org
Iono... just following the directions at AR15.com. They said to start at 25 meters for a 16" carbine.Quote:

It honestly doesn't matter a whole lot. You're not qualifying, you're just trying to be accurate in the range you shoot in. Pick the range you want to zero in, and be done with it. Be aware, POI can change at certain ranges based on where you zero at.
Beats me, just seems kinda close for a rifle. Whatever works for ya!Quote:

Look at the balistics for the ammo you shoot and want to sight in, choose your zero yardage and then determine where the shot should be at the closer range. Some ammumition will actually be at zero on 25m and 100m, which makes this method very convienient. Alternatively, you could set your initial target at a distance that matches zero (for example if you want to zero at 200 yards, set the initial target at 30 yards to match).
Considering this post was a month ago, i'm assuming you've already completed the job but wanted to provide this info.
25m = 300m POI with M855 62gr. 5.56mm from the M4.
I can post the graphs if necessary.
Southern California and Washington DC are good places to sight in.
will those locations be on the '09 shoot schedule [Wink]
