Questions for Ben Lomond Gun Club members

[rondog]

I'm a member and I think they're fine. Ever been to the South Site down north of Woodland Park? BLGC's road are 100x better than that!

No waiting for memberships either, AFAIK.

There is a paved road that goes right past the entrance...then its just 150 yards or so of dirt driveway and parking lot...

Has the road in been graded? Last time I was down there, there were washouts all over the place that would swallow a car right up to the axles. I'd be scared to death to try driving in there with snow on the ground or after dark. And I recall there's roads/paths/trails going all over the place.

can you only turn in the membership form at a meeting? i want to join but im afraid i may miss the next meeting

You need to attend a meeting and have your pic taken for your name badge and be voted in. However, I think you can do it at any chapter meeting. I joined at the Franktown chapter and then switched to Littleton (there wasn't a Littleton chapter when I joined)

Can't say coming from the north but the pavement ends at Hwy 24 coming east. When you turn off at Blasinggame Road it is dirt from there. As others have stated they are very easily accessed by a 2wd drive vehicle. I go frequently and have no problems in my car. I don't attempt to shoot after a hard rain or significant snow fall. The road to the 600 yd range drifts.

Best range around.

I believe Ridge was referring to the South Site down by Woodland Park. The road going to BLGC is dirt from both directions. Still a great place! Been way too long since my last visit.
