    Default What Happened to the Colorado Springs Shooting Range at Ft Carson?

    When announced the "Cheyenne Mountain Shooting Complex" on Ft Carson, the 90 lane public range was supposed to be completed by the fall of 2012

    News sources seem to have no news and no follow up.

    Anyone else have any news?
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Still under construction.

    The berms are done. The firing points are still being worked on.

    Have they worked out the details yet? Hours, cost, paperwork, entering post, etc.

    Thanks Muddywings. I heard yesterday that it should open before the end of the month, and this seems to confirm that! Looks like this is going to be an excellent, safe, affordable, and enjoyable alternative to Dragonmans.

    I hope, it will be nice having a range 5 mins from the house.
