Colorado Springs Shooters

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.

you might try THE NEW RANGE...

CACTUS SHOOTIN RANGE ON 115 SOUTH OF FT CARSON MAIN GATE

Do you have some more info on what the facilities are like - berms, tables, distances, idiot-factor, etc.

Thanks

I will never go to rampart again. I don't plan on catching a stray round.

That seems to be the general concensus around here. Plus I haven't liked the way some folks checked me out to estimate how much resistance I'd put up to having my guns stolen.

Cost?

CACTUS SHOOTIN RANGE ON 115 SOUTH OF FT CARSON MAIN GATE

So where is this place, exactly? Or should I just head south on 115 and watch for a cigarette can somewhere on the side of the road?

Is it a real range, or a free place people go to shoot? Cost anything?

More details, please....

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.

X2 on BLGC!!!

Anyone been to Frontier Fountain range - I heard something about them working on the railway crossing and the road from the ramp to Old Pueblo Rd. was going to be closed till Friday... Didn't see anything on Cdot...

I didn't read through everything but is there an 600-1K range around the Springs area where you DON'T have to be a member of a place?
