Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Anybody want to go shooting tomorow?
I don't know where to go. I don't think the snow is gone at harris park yet. I am never going to cherry creek again and everywhere else I have been is members only. Anybody know where I can go that isnt too hard to find? And does anyone care to join me?
I just joined up at the Ben Lomond Gun Club out by Kiowa, but haven't actually been there yet. Hope to go this weekend, and I hope it's a good place!
I've never been to Cherry Creek, I've wanted to go look it over, but I ain't paying the park fee just to get in and check it out. How come you're not going back?
Where are you located at?
I went shooting today at the North Site, was soooo much fun. My first time shooting outdoors and i'm hooked. Flurries most of the day (heavier at times) and pretty windy. Damn forecast was wrong, but it was still a good day of shooting. We were the only ones there, plus a fella collecting brass for the entire ~3 hours we were there. Didn't talk to him much, but he said he was local.
Cherry creek isnt very laid back. They are very pushy and ask you every cease fire if you are leaving so they can get you out of there. They come by and sweep your brass so I had to keep stopping to grab my brass and tell them to leave my brass. Also they won't let you collect any brass that flies out the shooting window. You have to lay your cased guns in the windo before uncasing them. It was pretty rediculous. I am all about following rules and safety but I just didnt like that place. I lost about 150 pieces of .308 brass and didnt even break out the ars because I didnt want to lose my .223 brass. It was $7 to get in the park and $13 to shoot. How much is the club you joined and how far from the metro area?

I-25 North. Off at Exit 243/CO-66. Head west into Lyons, make a left onto CO-7. Drive up 14 miles until you hit CO-72, and park across the road from the call box (about 200 yards East of CO-72). Walk right into the clearing and shoot.
What time are you going? I didn't shoot all my ammo today i had planned on, so i might be willing to head up again. I'm not driving again though, about 50 miles from me, and i'm near 120th/I25

I was thinking maybe leaving here around nine or ten in the morning. I have a jeep cherokee. So is this place in the moutains or what? I am in lakewood so I would have to take sixth to get to 25. I can pick you up.
It's at 8300ft i believe, the foothills. I'm not even sure what the weather is for tomorrow. I posted some info about it in this forum just a bit ago. We had the place to ourselves today, but then again it was Friday. Bring a table and chair plus your target stand.
From 6th and I25, you'll have a haul. What are you looking to shoot? After shooting there today, i don't think i'll go to an indoor range again (winter only). It is a drive unless you plan on throwing a decent amount or lead down range. We shot about 450 rounds today which made it worth while, we were there a few hours despite the snow and wind. I don't want to recommend you going up there unless you plan to spend a bit of time. I shot my new AR (first time shooting it) and my trusty G19. It was a blast, are you planning to head up there alone, or do you have some buddies to go with?
Oh don't worry when I shoot I shoot. I was gonna bring out a few ars and the m1a. Maybe the .22 and a pistol or two. I might bring some buddies. I don't mind the drive if it isnt too too far. I am actually at about colfax and sixth. Youi shot 450 rounds. Do you reload your brass?
If you want give me a call tonight. 757-373-1426
