Harris Park 3-18-06

It seems as me and a few members are going to head up and shoot this weekend. Anybody and everybody who wants to come is welcome.

I thought I would start a thread just for this so we do not clutter up the official COAR15 shoot which is on 4-08-06 at ST Vrains canyon. I figured it might cause some confusion if we keep posting in that thread about a different date and place.

I am thinking who ever wants to go we could meet at 285 and simms. If your headed south (its actually west on 285) just as you pass simms and go under it there is plenty of room to pull over and meet.

I am thinking 10 am to meet unless others want to change that.

Met you there are 10am...

It is about 12 miles north of Bailey when you hit the top of crow hill you head north. It is not very far, from simms and 285 it is probably about 45-50 miles just guessing.

I can meet You at that parking lot for Bear creek state park just on the east side of 470. on 285. :D

I may meet you there, Marlin. I'll have to see how this weekend lines up.

how about meet at the diamond shamrock gas station at C470 and Quincy that would be a lot easier to get back on the highway in the direction we need to go?

Fine with Me.

Sounds like some weather might be moveing in on Sat. afternoon.

Yeah but so far it sounds like late in the day we can go a little earlier if need be so we are done shooting before the weather comes.

I figured we can wait untill friday and decide what everybody thinks.

OK w/me.. Just so that I'm clear, we are meeting at:
Diamond Shamrock
14011 W Quincy Ave # 1,
Morrison, CO 80465

10AM

Right?

I can't make it any earlier. If you don't go earlier, I'll meet you guys at the Diamond Shamrock.

yep the diamond shamrock at 10am sounds good to me that will put us at the range by 11am at the latest.

Might have to show up for this one... won't stay an awfully long time, but rumor has it that Gman has a new toy.. plus I've got a few that I've not shot yet.

Sounds like {Acording to the Radio all day} the front may be moveing in earlier, like friday night. I guess a still, "See how it looks"

I just bought a P22 for my wife. If she doesn't go, I will have to "test" out the new toy.

You always have to do a safety check for the little lady, that's just basic chivalry. :wink:

I've heard Saturday afternoon that rain was coming. I'm willing to get in a couple of hours of shooting.

Looks like the weather will be in our favor.. Per 9news today, calls for PM showers.. The morning and afternoon look good!!

Well, Now that You've said that,,,, :wink:





:lol:

Ok I will see everyone that is going 10am at the Diamond Shamrock gas station at C470 and Quincy.

I would like to take off at 10am worst case 10:15 so try and be there on time. Just want to make sure we get all the shooting we want in before the weather go's to hell in the late afternoon.

We need a head count to make sure we don't leave anybody behind.

EDIT to add: Marlin if you want to shoot your BP let me know I will bring my BP bag. Also if you would please bring your camera stand im going to bring my chrony.

Hunter, I'll do the BP at a later date, When it's a little nicer and I spend a little more time with it. :D

Head count

+1

I'm in.

Thanks Guys, That was fun. :D

Other than my poor chrony :oops: it was a good time. :D

I was amazed how the weather was creeping in around us but held off where we were shooting. Once I got the scope adjusted to the right, the .308 puts bullets where the crosshairs say they'll go.

Thanks to Marlin for letting me try out his Glock 20.

I had a great time! :D

Other than those last couple of miles getting there, that is a nice place. I'll admit that I did lock in the 4WD, Other than that one spot I don't think I really needed it that much. I'd be willing to go there again. :D

I would like to see Harris Park added to the shoot locations list.

Sorry I didn't make it, guys. The previous night was St. Patrick's Day....that should tell you everything you need to know. ;)

I think I concur. How long did it take to get there? 45 minutes to an hour and some light wheeling beats the hell out of 2 hours each way to WP or Lyons for me.

Youth is wasted on the Young. :lol:

I think a number of people wouldn't be able to make the Harris Park location. The 4 wheel drive might not be necessary (I did use mine), but you'd better have some ground clearance.

Haha, probably. I did learn that getting totally wasted really isn't worth the time and effort it takes to deal with and recover from. Slept in my truck at the light rail station for four hours before I drove home, and then slept for about 7 more hours. That, after spending about $35 on booze and $15 on covers. Not worth it, IMO.

Just wait 'til you get a little older. If I drank as much as I did in college, it would literally kill me.;)
