Colorado Springs Shooters

If any business owners want to know how to make a good MAP to their business, go to the Frontier Sportsman's Club website. They have links to custom Google Maps showing you exactly where they are. Kudos! This is a big step up from the black and white maps with just a few major streets marked.

I'm new to the area, west side of the co springs, manitou area. I shoot at rampart generally in the early morning weekdays. I've met some cool guys there. I checked out WPGC, really pricey, dragon mans is ok but not kinda far. Looking for somewhere that goes 300m+ though, everywhere seems to be only out to 100.

...or they would be a very busy place that you could not get quickly into because of the lines at the doors and the registers.

It's a fine line isn't it?

They're already a pretty damned busy place as it is. It's an extremely nice facility and getting a lane on the weekend (usually the only time I can shoot) can be pretty rough at times. As a member, I don't think they need to do a lot more to bring in more traffic as long as they are paying bills and maintaining their long term viability. <shrug> Go somewhere else if you don't want to pay the dues.

I usually shoot at WPGC, will meet folks north of Woodland Park once in a blue moon. Am thinking about submitting an application to Frontier Sportsmans Club for long range shooting.

You call 300 yards "long range"? That is the longest range on either the south or the east property.

Things sound kinda tight up there now? Glad Im down here where Im at! Local range is free- rifle ranges out to 800yards with steel targets (coyotes,fox,deer and PD's) from 285 to about 750-800. One of the advantages to living in the sticks I guess? never had more than 2-3 folks on the range with me-usually Im the only 1 there.

I have my own private range at midway (by Pikes peak international raceway). My old man owns some property back there. I have a nice table and some sillohuette (sp?) targets set up. I'd be more than happy to accompany some of you there (sorry can't use it on your own) and you MUST take any trash you bring with you. The second it turns into Rampart, I'm shutting it down, and will fire warning shots if need be.

ANyone interested, PM me.

I just got into Frontier, I'm near the fountain range - so it is convienient for me. I have gone out there once so far and it seems to suit my needs well.
They have 2 informal ranges with high berms (no pre made target stands required) and 2 pistol ranges with dozens of tables, they do need a bit of work on the rifle ranges - would love to have a 1000 yd range available. (See if I could even hit anything... may need a better scope).
Look 'em up online - lots of pics on the website.
Just my .02¢ worth.

Frontier Sportsman's is worth the wait! The members don't put up with nonsense, plus it's safe and clean: http://www.frontiersportsman.com/

The "drop by" at Hickman Rifles (Earl) is entertaining enough... That's a "recommendation" by the way! (He's a good gunsmith and quite the character.)

Frontier is working on 500-1000yd ranges at the south site from what I understand, but are in the process of building a second "informal" range due to popular demand.

In the meantime, we have a few places the CO-AR bunch shoots... Standby for fun!

you might try THE NEW RANGE...

CACTUS SHOOTIN RANGE ON 115 SOUTH OF FT CARSON MAIN GATE

[003402]

Surprised no one mentioned Ben Lomond out near Ramah. Its a bit of a haul, but a well run club. They have a 600 yard range (shooting positions covered), 11 berms (2 high power 100 yard), cowboy long range, 5 position shotgun and dedicated 22 LR range.

Its reasonably priced and is not that busy. check out www.blgc.org

Also have open days (June 13th is the open house) and allows non-members to sight in close to hunting season without being a member. They hosted an appleseed out there this weekend (www.appleseedinfo.org).

I have been to rampart and dragonman's. I will never go to rampart again. I don't plan on catching a stray round.

drop me a pm if you have any questions.
