Rampart

That was always my take on the guy too, but the last 2 times I've been there he has been very friendly and cordial.

Rampart isn't bad during the week (most of the time). The only problem I've had up there lately was a guy offering unsolicited advice about shot placement. ("If you shoot into the lower abdomen instead of centermass you'll have a good blood trail to follow" [Eek3]).

Hmmm, I have heard some people giving others advice/tips on shooting techniques, but never heard shot placement yet.
One guy gave me about 20 ballistic 223 rounds, he didn't have a 223 caliber so he passed em on to me.....

I know you used to be allowed to shoot up at Saint Peters Dome, anybody know if thats still the case? I might go have a look in the next few weeks.

?? Saint Peters Dome ?? Where is that?

St. Peter's Dome has been closed to shooting for at least 10 years.

Hmmm. It sounds familiar. Is it along Rampart Range Road? As I recall, I went hiking around there about 12 years ago.

St Peters Dome is up off of Old Stage Rd.

Closed huh, yeah I haven't been up there since 96.... guess I won't be heading that way.

Going through some old posts and saw this one.

I go to Rampart every once in a while. I totally agree that it is much better to go early and on weekdays. I made the mistake of going there once on a Saturday afternoon with the wife. I will never make that mistake again. Between the mall ninjas and gangstas, I thought the range was about to become two-way.

As for Saint Peter's Dome, it's a shame it is closed to shooting. I live just off Old Stage Road, so it sure would be convenient. To the best of my knowledge, you can shoot within the confines of a National Forest, as long as you obey all the rules, however, there is no place in Pike National Forest to shoot inside of El Paso County. I wonder if Teller County has some places to shoot farther up Old Stage Road?

I've seen people shooting up off of Forrest Road 379 more than once and a guy that I know at work goes up there to shoot. I'm not sure its allowed but I have never seen any problems up there.

I've seen people up there this summer shooting......I go Mtn Biking up in that area, Jones Park, Cpt Jacks up that way.
