    Don't thank me, thank the hobby! That was the first place I shot my Glock (first pistol I ever bought) and every gun since. Great for clay shooting too because of the clearing.

    Raton is a bit of drive for me, but worth checking that place out!

    Thats one nice thing about living in the "Hills" I buy a new toy and I can go pop off a few and no one complains. It's the 30 - 40 rounds after people start calling me.

    It's massive. It would be a nice "weekend shoot" place. They have camp grounds, cabins, and RV parking.

    Sunday Monday or Tuesday and I'm in. I have a huge trunk and enough room for three others in my car. 100th and Wadsworth is the origin.

    My schedule changes weekly, but if we can pick a date soon, i'll check it. If I can go, I'll volunteer to drive somebody from the Springs. I could take up to 4 others, but I have an older extended cab Silverado... those back seats were made for kids!

    Thanks DSB and Ronin for the directions. That's a bit of a drive from Colorado Springs, but if it means I get to shoot with some quality guys, then it's worth it.
