Is this shoot going to happen? How many feet of snow are on the ground at the North shoot location?
I was there last Saturday...when it was snowing....AGAIN
Certain parts are almost (but not quite) bare
Others have a good bit of snow, but have been packed down and iced up from foot traffic
If you go somwhere that nobody has walked you may post-hole to your knees
I'm heavy enough to "post hole" where people have walked before me. :mrgreen:
I was there on Sunday 1/28. The snow was deep in spots, but there were nearly-dry areas, including a good path up to the berm for setting targets. Plus, it is supposed to be in the 40s up there all week, which means more snow melt. However, it is supposed to snow on Saturday.
If the snow holds off I'll be up there.
I may give it a try.
Well you two enjoy yourselves and be sure to let the rest of us know what shooting in sub-zero weather is like. :P Karl. [roll]
Saturday was kinda cold....with gale force winds
I didn't stay long...I got "winded" chasing my target
I am thinking about it I will wait until later in the week to decide I am sure the weather forcast will change ten times by then. :roll:

Sorry. I know what you're going through though. I'm starting to consider some form of therapy to help with the withdrawal symptoms. :oops:
And the weather here is saying nice all week, right up until saturday that is.... :evil: Karl.
who do i need to get a hold of to join y'all? i'm hoping saturday is a go, it will be my only chance to get shooting for a while, having surgery on the 13th. do we just check this site to see if the shoot is on/off?
Welcome, Yes, just check here. We try to make a final decision sometime before 9:00 P.M.
okay sounds good. since it's my first time do i need to show up a little early to register/pay and get a safety briefing? also what will the club require as far as a safety class? i'm an mp so i've been through the military safety stuff as well as a hunter safety class in az....a while back. i have fired at either an IDPA or a IPSC? ISPC PICS SPCI [poke] ...what ever it is called, think it was the second but i've never registered, was just there trying to out shoot my old man [postal] never happened
$20 cash, to me, and you can shoot all you want [pirate]Quote:

check out the safety thread where you found this one.
HEY! You charged me $40 and I haven't even gotten to shoot yet. What gives?!Quote:

I hope you didn't send me anything!
If anyone should get anything, it's Roger.
It's his site, and he needs the money to keep this place going.
:oops:
i'll bring a wad of 20's handing them out to everyone...just don't look at the serial numbers, or number, cuz they'll all be the same. ha ha kidding. what about the actual membership fee for the IDPA? is that all mailed in with the application?
read the safety link too...you guys have odd rules, no finger on the trigger...again kidding, hopefully my dry sense of humor doesn't get me in trouble.
IDPA ?
we're only affiliated with the CMP (unless something has changed) [poke]
We have no affiliation with IDPA, however we have several members that are also IDPA members. Those same said members run our forum that is related to that and they can help you with any questions regarding IDPA/IPSC type shoots. TomFreeman seems to be the main person here on that issue and he is also USAF, out at Peterson I believe. Welcome, hope you can make our shoots also. Karl.
ok well i'm confused. i sent tom a pm. so what are the shoots like that you guys do? they seem to be on the same days as what is advertised on the FRIDPA website. anyone know kerry buckey? he's listed on the idpa website as the poc for FRIDPA.
and since i'm so lost as too who i'm planning on shooting with :oops: what gun(s) should i bring? i've got a glock 22 and a brand spanking new bushmaster m-4....with no ammo so if i'm going to bring that i need to get some rounds
Welcome to the gaggle. Since I shoot IDPA and just came into posession of a new XCR, I'm in the same quandry. The IDPA shoots are at the CCCSC range off I-70 around exit 235 in Dumont the 2nd Saturday of every month (weather permitting). There's also an IDPA shoot out of Pueble on the 3rd Saturday of every month (weather permitting). The rifle shoots are also the 2nd Saturday of every month (weather permitting) and alternate between a north location out of Lyons on the back road to Estes Park and a south location out of Woodland Park if memory serves. I'm hoping to make my first rifle shoot this Saturday (weather permitting), but I also haven't made one of the IDPA shoots since last summer (weather and travel weren't permitting).Quote:

If your interested in IDPA if you go two boards down from this one that is where they post all IDPA events and 3 gun ect.Quote:

The shoots that we have (2nd. saturday of each month alternating between north and south locations) have NOTHING to do with anyone but us. No IDPA/IPSC/USPSA/NRA etc. They are semi-formal shoots. We have rules, but mostly just safety related. There is no "course of fire". It's just a bunch of people getting together for fun shooting. Rifles, pistols, shotguns, mg's, etc.
You can bring almost anything really. We only limit the ammo slightly due to the forest service regs. (and common sense). :roll: No Tracer, incendiary, flamethrower, dragon's breath, etc.
TomFreeman is a regular at the IDPA shoots and he moderates the forum here that is related to IDPA/IPSC shoots. He is a good point of contact as far as this board goes. As for any other website, talk to whom ever they tell you to. I know ZakSmith, bluker1, and a few others also shoot 3 gun and the like so they can help you also. Karl.
okay guys well thanks for all the help. i was a little confused and Tom put me on the right track. sounds like i'll be checking out the match shoot and go from there. thanks all of you for the help. i'm sure we'll run into eachother.
Not going to make this shoot.. :cry:
see ya March... :?:
The weather for Sat says it will be in the high 40's. Is the shoot on?
M2MG
Guys,
The weather is cold enough just outside my front door.
If you think I'm going to go up 3000 feet in elevation & stand around in the snow all day, well.....
Anyways, I'll see you all next time maybe.
-2C
I got a new aimpoint for my AR that I'd love to try out, so if the shoot's still on tomorrow I'll be there.
I checked the weather report and they say snow in the mountains tonight and tomarrow. It is supposed to be nice in Denver but not in the hills. I think I will wait until next month I don't feel like shooting in a snow storm.
Starting to be My thoughts also. :roll: I may check a few more weather sites.
Well, I'll probably try to get up there if it's possible to reach it. It'd be kinda interesting to see how things work when it's snowing lol.
I'll be under 3 'binkys', eating a breakfast burrito, thinking about you. :twisted: Karl. [roll]
so how was it
The weather was good. It was sunny and wasn't that cold. There were some patches of snow, but most of it had melted.
There were a few other groups there, but they were all really cool guys and were safe the whole time. You guys missed out on a great day at the range.
:P
DA*N it!!!
Oh Well, May try again next week. :roll:
