    Default Shooter Inbound to CO Springs

    Howdy all,

    I'll be arriving in the Springs area in about a week and am starting to scout out the shooting opportunities. After living in FL for the past 10 years (although originally from AZ), I'm looking forward to living in the mountains.

    I'm also looking forward to doing some shooting someplace other than a range. Don't get me wrong, ranges have their place but I've always been a "load up the truck and go shoot stuff in the woods" kinda guy (and yes, I pack out more than I bring). I understand the need to keep these sites protected from idiots but will hopefully develop a contact or two around here that will be willing to point out a informal range or two.

    As far as AR's, I've got the required 16" CQB with multi-colored furniture as well as a 20" Varmint model (both built on Spike's lowers) as well as a pile of other hardware.

    I have two main firearm related goals while in CO and I'm looking forward to picking the brains of you and other like-minded individuals to help me achieve them:
    - Learn to reload
    - Get serious into hunting (did lots of Dove and occasional Javalina hunts in AZ but no big game)

    Anyways, I look forward to chatting with you guys in the future, swapping lies, and maybe even hardware in the classifieds section (I've got my next 5 purchases decided on so I'll definitely have my eye on that forum ).

    Which part (I was in the Melbourne/Cocoa Beach area) and how long did it take to get acclimated to the strange white sand falling out of the sky?

    Yep. The benefits of being gainfully employed.
