    Default Squaw Pass over the weekend

    Made my first trip up to Squaw this weekend, it was a nice place to shoot. I was there with a few buddies shooting and the Parks Law Enforcement truck pulled up as we were cleaning up. I spoke with the officer whose name was Bryan for about 20 minutes. He couldn't have been any nicer and was thrilled to death that we had picked up several bags of garbage and shells. I mentioned the forum here and he was more than happy to tell his director that CO-AR15.com was out there picking up trash and keeping it clean. It was a really nice conversation with the officer and he even loved the AR's we had and was very interested. I have attached some pics since it was so friggin beautiful up there.

    Also, I got the cheapo little NcStar dialed in and it was dead on at 100+ yards, which made me happy. Also it was the first time shooting with the new accessories, made a big difference. And I got to shoot my friends Ruger 44 magnum with a 9.5" barrel, what a sweet pistol.

    Nice... I had quite an interesting time up there yesterday:
    Left the house around 2pm to go see really which was better- the AR or the AK... since my BMW will not do well up there I took my brother's Jeep Grand Cherokee. Unfamiliar with the Cherokee's door locks I LOCKED THE KEYS INSIDE, with my guns, and new target stand. Stranded up there for an hour and a half waiting on a locksmith from Lakewood to come up, after a $90 unlock commenced shooting. Good news: Got 5 free bowling pins!

    Obviously the AR- especially when it came to popping bowling pins (which was pretty funny)... as soon as I hit the paper target I quickly realized yes, the AK puts bigger holes, but the AR punched out the bulls eye. The AK was by far easier to bump fire though, and that probably made the people down the road wonder what the hell was going on.

    Are there any 4x4 trails or play grounds around there?

    not at all, we can tape targets to it... because chances are, it would get back out.
