Oh man, if only this were the following weekend! I was planning on going to moab that week, and while i might come back early for this, i dont think I may be that enthusiatic then about going from a wheeling camping trip to a shooting camping trip...swore i would not be away from my bed for more than a week if Im not downrange, ha.

Anything like this going on in the next 3 -4 weeks (while im still on block leave)?

It's the last one I'm putting together but that's not saying that others won't plan another.


In the light of the fires in the area I'm asking that everyone ensure they do not bring tracers, and that they do bring any extra fire extinguishers/water/rakes & shovels. Park county is under Stage 1 fire restrictions but rain is predicted between now and the shoot. I have also been in contact with the Park Co. Sheriff and will apply for a burn permit for the camp fire if the restriction is not dropped in the next two weeks.

I have some questions
where do you shoot over there to the west side?
Whats the back stop?

[cms81586]

Theres a good hill that makes a decent back stop and nothing beyond that for miles. Contrary to popular belief a bullet that strikes the ground and riccochets still does not travel far...and there's nothing beyond what were shooting for 6 or 7 miles. On the Ft. Carson M4 and M240 ranges you can see houses that are closer than the ones in the distance where we shoot....with two good sized hills and a lot of land between us and them. We've safely shot out there for the past few years with no issues. We shoot the the W / SW. Have you ever been to the site? You'll see what I mean if you come on out. Looking at it on Google Earth doesn't show you anything unfortunately.

Been over there Prospecting, The Ranch land is only 1/4 mile from the road on the west side so be careful. The one photo looks like some one with a handgun shooting with out a back stop.

I'm thinking about going. I'll let you know next week
