Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
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.
Where do you shoot that is north of Woodland Park?Originally Posted by Aloha_Shooter
On Highway 67 North 1.5 miles past the Douglas Teller county line (into Douglas County) there is a Forest Service road that leads (West) to an area used by shooters. I'll post the GPS coordinates when I remember to take my GPS out of the bag... duh...

Thanks Cop.
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!
Earl and Cat were down at Fal fest (this last weekend) again this year at the whitington center and earl was taking measurements in the pits of the 1000 yard range.
While I like the whitington set-up I also like the Buffalo creek ones. I think a combination of the two would be ideal.
Ryan. I just got two 500 plates from widners for gongs. I have the stands so we need to get together. I leave for the Oregon Fal shoot on the 23rd. much to do in a little time.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
