Anyone know how long the drive is from the west side of denver up to CRC? Google maps shows 1 hour to byers, but 2 hours to CRC itself... is that really right? Trying to figure out how early I need to get started to make it up there by the new-shooter time.
That's pretty off. It has some pessimistic ideas about how fast you can/should drive on dirt roads. It's an hour 45 from Colorado Springs, if that helps.Originally Posted by DenverGP
What part of west side of Denver you coming from? I70/Wads is faster than Quincy/Wads.
You will arrive a few minutes(10-15) early, typically, if you allow 1 hour from E 470 and I70.

Takes me about an hour from Thornton I think.

From I-70 and Wadsworth it is about 70 minutes if you go the speed limit and don't granny it on the dirt roads. If you only go 25 mph on the dirt roads, add 20 minutes, which is a good call if muddy.
cool, ty all for the info... Hopefully I'll be able to drag my ass out of bed early enough to make it up there. Was planning to hit the one up at clear creek a couple weeks back, but schedule didn't work out. I'm coming from chatfield area, so it'll be a little haul, but I'm going to give it a try.
I looked thru all the info on the links provided above, but couldn't tell how many mags and how much ammo I need. Planning to shoot my 1911, but also have my sr9c as an option.

Matches are no more than 90 rounds, but it is possible to reshoot a stage. I don't think I've ever shot more than 100. You can get by with 3 mags, but 4 is better, especially with a 1911. This match is five stages instead of the usual four, so count on the higher end of 90 rounds.

I usually bring 150 rds and have never even been close to using all.

Hope you all enjoyed the match today. If you enjoyed the new platform in berm 7, a note to board members thanking them for funding it would be helpful. Now that the land purchase has been completed, we are hopeful that some more improvements to the East range will occur in 2015, so letting the BOD know that we appreciate their support is good for us all.
