I bet it'll be a sloppy, muddy mess there this weekend, after all these storms.

Yep, it was muddy till about noon. Had storms and cloud cover all morning. Had wind pretty much from sunrise till I left at 1700. It was still good times and a hell of a lot better than mowing the fricken lawn.

The wife and I went. Saw Jim that was manning the Colorado shooters table and Post tostie was there as well. Not a bad place but smaller than I expected.

Did have a few interesting moments. Was shooting at the sight-in range and someone just walked up and started blasting an AR. Brass is bouncing all off me and this guy is just mag dumping into the dirt. I did ask if he was shooting at something? Just function checking he says...... He did not have a badge on so I assumed he was just a guest.

The next fun moment came when a Family showed up. This one little boy was heading straight for my Fal in 7.62X25 as the father asked if these were the rifles they could shoot for free.....

I am thinking about joining since Buffalo creek is no longer viable for us but is the wind always like that? Jeeze it never gave up. The food was great and the members were very nice.

It is close and the main attraction is the fact that you can camp there so weekend get a ways are feasible.

Probably the same guy that asked the same question at the Berm with the USPSA stage. Had two boys with him. We used to have extra guns and ammo out there, but with the current shortages, no freebies this year.

Shooting idiots are rare out there. Having someone just walk up and start blasting has never happened to me out there either.

The wind can be a pain, but it's been bad out there this year because of all of the storms and rain. Best time to be on the 600 yd range is in the early morning. Been out there with the flags completely dead pretty regular in the mornings.
