South Site Question about location.

[Hayes]

Also, if your car is low to the ground, tread lightly.

We are taking a truck, so we should be fine.

When I went there for the first time, I used the GPS coordinates posted by a member. They sent me about a mile south and 1/2 mile west right to a very large sign that said NO SHOOTING OF FIREARMS ALLOWED !
I still don't know if this was the poster's idea of a joke or someone was giving me a very warm welcome to this forum.

[Hayes]

ha ha, that's funny. Do you have the actual coordinates?

[SideShow Bob]

No, I didn't save them after finding the site, go to the thread about the " Frozen nuts shoot in the beginning of Dec. 2010. There are some good written directions to find it. Write them down as I did for a back up. There is also a couple of posts withthe GPS coordinates, I forgot which ones I used.

[SideShow Bob]

It is under the Club Shooting Events section.

I found it, thank you. Matches up with the directions I found last night, so I am slightly more confident in finding this place tomorrow.

I went shooting out there today. Great area, missed the turn the first time around, but no major problems finding the place. One guy was up there when we got there, we said hello, played show and tell with our weapons and shot the hell out of some 9, .40, .22 and .223. Cleaned everything we brought in and picked up a little extra trash. There was a family shooting up over the hill, but we never encountered them. Good day overall and a great place to shoot. For the record, for anyone who wants to know, we called the local PD and they cleared us to shoot. My shooting buddy was a little worried about driving that far to find out we weren't allowed to shoot. They advised us not to be there any earlier than 9 A.M. though.

PD said that? I have been up there many times prior to 9am. Local pd must have a house up in the hills and doesn't want to be woken up early.

They never said we couldn't be up there earlier than 9, but said that the housing community 1.5 miles North complains when people are out earlier than that. More of a respect thing than a rule, I guess.

Hayes saw that you live in Aurora wondered how far from the Quiency Res. this place is, and or if you would be up for a meet and take me out there. My brother and I have been looking for this place on private land or something on Gun Club Rd (hoping this is the place you went to). Didn't find it cause we were in a car and almost got stuck. Drop me a line back, thanks.
