Western Slope Meet & Greet

I would like the opportunity to get together with the other guys/gals on the western slope side. I live in Grand Junction, there is a rifle and pistol range set up SW of the airport. I generally go further down past the pistol range where I can be my own Range Master. I have a nice little area in a gulley in which I set up a "Hogans Ally", or tactical engagement course. You can also shoot out to a couple hundred yards up the wadee. Never been bothered or have to worry about cease fires, or negligent discharges.
Anyway I would enjoy just meeting some of the other like minded people in the area. You never know.... we may need a Zombie Termination Team, for our area.
If you are interested in meeting for a shoot, or no shoot Sea Story session, let me know.

Hi Jim. That sounds like a good time. You going to the gun show tomorrow? I'll PM my cell # to you, we're going to be there reasonably early and swing by Jimmy's (A Pawn) either before or after.

I'm down in Montrose, send me a message if you ever plan on heading down this way.

Just registered here, kinda lonely in these parts for a guy with my interests. Would be nice to hear from some of you guys

I almost give up here,,I'm in Glenwood Spngs.
Joined the Rifle Gunclub,,and still haven't even been there. Working weekends suck.

SNAFU you gotta get out to RSC. I'm out there every once in a while. I shoot the precision rifle matches every first Saturday and the IDPA/action pistol matches on the third Saturday. They also have some shoots during the week. The Thursday night before the precision rifle match they have a practice night. Right now they are doing Thursday and Friday "sight in" nights for hunting season. Lots of folks there hanging out helping each other spot so they can sight in rifles. Good way to meet some other club members. I grew up in Glenwood and most of my family is still there. My brother is a member at RSC as well and he's there quite a bit.

does anyone know who specifically i should call at the rifle sportsmans club? i left a message for a mike rix, explaining that i want to get involved with the lever gun silhouette, and bpcr, and service rifle, but i never got a call back.

Thanks for the input guys

good luck over there in bring the family fun together [Beer]

Should be like a 25 minute drive for you. First weekend of the month, plan on getting there around 8:45-9:00. Turn on reeder mesa road in whitewater and drive (IDK how many miles, but probably 2-4 IIRC) until you see some large berms, maybe some tires stacked on the left side of the road. Continue on slowly until you see an open gate near the south side. Drive in, turn left out of the gate and turn into the first range there where cars are. Bring an outside the waistband holster and a handgun with ~150 rounds or so. Hearing and eye protection. Generally 9mm or larger needed but it's a club match. (5.7 also okay)

I might be there. I SO on occasion but I've been ridiculously busy.

There is also a uspsa shoot in Montrose. Haven't been there so I don't know details.

What do you mean by "shoots" exactly? You guys just get together and plink, or is it a competition of sorts?

IDPA format match, scored according to IDPA rules(for accuracy and time). We have steel, swingers, cover etc. we have some excellent highly skilled shooters and the multi gun stages have been popular. Join us shoot or watch first sat. of the month. We just had one sat, over 30 shooters, 5 stages.
