It's 7 hours and 20 minutes from Boulder to Southern Utah county (south of Salt Lake City, north of Provo, it should be less than 7 hours to this shoot). I did that drive like 20 times last year every other weekend. Drive out friday, shoot, have fun all weekend, drive back monday.

It's well worth it.
Plus, we need more people willing to help out/instruct/etc for Colorado next spring (hopefully)

You don't need an M1A BTW. Anything from 22LR on up is fine. magazine loaded rifles are greatly helpful, but not mandatory.
