Well thanks guys. Hey Chad, where do you shoot rifle? We just joined that Great Guns place up in Nunn because we are up at a lake in Greeley a lot. I haven't found any place near here where I can shoot far. We shoot clays at Kiowa Creek and Quail Run and now up in Nunn. GG has a 100, 200, and 300 yard range. Nice place, just kinda far from home.

Welcome!

You don't kill fish with your guns do you?

A little further drive from Kiowa and you'll find BLGC.org

Membership is currently capped, but it's worth applying and getting on the wait list as positions do come open when people drop, move away, etc. As the ranges improve, they may raise the cap.

I haven't been to a chapter meeting in about 6 months, but I talked quite a bit with the club Pres George W. yesterday at the range and the membership cap has been lifted. He said the Franktown chapter took in all 28 on their waiting list at the last meeting.

Anyone sitting on the fence or looking to get in better do it before another cap gets imposed. The addition of the 6 competition pistol berms was a major contributing factor to lifting the cap.
