Looks nice I will be checking it out this weekend.
That place is nice, went Monday and packed some trash out and a bucket of brass. It was pretty busy when I went.
Have not been out there since the changes.

Forest Service info page link ^^
So did they close shooting out there except for the range now??
This is on the website that crays posted: The area adjacent to the site is closed to recreational shooting to enhance safety. Not sure if that means all of Pawnee open grasslands?Quote:

All of Pawnee is still open to shooting unless there is a specific closure posted. This is just an organized designated spot.
Do you need to bring your own target stands? If so, what do you guys use to mount your targets to? I have only shot at indoor ranges so far.
I have always brought my own homemade target stands just incase. Mine look similar to this. But again I have not been out to the new designated range there. I would assume it is bring your own.
yes you have to bring your own target stands
only paper, cardboard, steel targets allowed
If the weather is nice would anyone be down for joining me next Friday the 28th?

Front page of the Coloradoan today was an article about the trash at the range.
the range itself has had very little trash. It has been policed pretty good so far, hopefully it stays that way. I was talking to a forest service employee there last week and he was as surprised as I was at how it's held up, he said its a pretty high priority for them to keep it staffed for now then soon they might look for volunteers to watch it. The other areas just got cleaned up recently, all hot tubs and chairs were removed, still look like a frat house though.Quote:

About 9:30 the wind came up pretty bad it it got cold! Man before that it was like a summer day out here
Didn't make it up till around 11am. GPS sent me an a wired route that took a really long time. I stayed about two hours until the hammer broke an my AR while i was firing. Then i got a stuck case in my ak. I was a bit windy and chilly! Maybe we can make better arrangements when the weather gets better
Looks nice! Won't be long until some dick shoots the piss outta those signs though.
I left about 10:45, I tried to wait and see if anyone showed up and if the wind died down but ended up going home.Quote:

Had my first trip to this range today. All was going well until the Ranger showed and she made us stop all fire to tell us the rules which we were clearly following. Seems like a nice range but we could've used a more friendly encounter.
The guy that is normally there on Thursdays and Fridays is pretty nice. I generally go on Thursday mornings when their are not a lot of people.Quote:

They got an upgrade this week, now they have posts cemented in to hold boards for targets.
What kind of posts? Do you just staple cardboard and a target to the posts?Quote:

They are tubes in the ground, they may add more? You can stick like a 1X2 in them for target holders.
anyone go lately? how is it?
