Colorado Springs/Fort Carson Public Range

Good place to shoot. It being a public range means that you have to deal with a fudd or two. I ignored them until I saw one digging through my range bag. The RO was right there, though and put a stop to it. I hurt his feelings, but he was finger effing my stuff.

I have to hear more about this. I have only stopped in a few times and the RO's I have met seem to be OK. Tracer on a public range? I guess anything is possible. Might have been one of those reloads from back when Polygunbags advertised that they were selling the tracer bullets as "plinking" rounds since none of them seemed to light.

Guess some did.

I got the story from the RO at Range 4 today. FUDD bought an AR "with ammo", and the ammo was tracer ammo. FUDD had zero idea. Now they check everyone's rifle ammo.

Went out today, we were delayed long-range shooting for a while but ended up with 400+ yds and had a great time (the army uses the range just west of there and has dibs). Well staffed and wife friendly with close parking, covered shooting rests, tables and porta-johns.
Well worth the drive, just bring some handguns just in case

This - the market was flooded with a lot of old M196 because it was in stock and even slightly cheap, comparatively, during the ongoing panic. It was bought by people desperate for ammo, any ammo, and not aware or caring what the loaded bullets were.
