    I am not inclined to join Whistling Pines (cost and other side of the city) and PWSA seems like a good thing, but I don't think they have any vacancies in their membership (Hoser, any news on that?).

    I usually just drive up to Rampart on weekday mornings (less crowd) and do my shooting. I always include a large trash bag in my kit to take out more than I bring with me.

    I am scouting alternative places to shoot on the West side of the city (Teller County) that I will share with people I can trust to not abuse the area.

    I have a new XD-m and a rifle that needs to be zeroed. If anyone is going to the South site this weekend, I would like to meet up in Woodland Park if possible.

    I shoot at Whistling Pines, Falcon Gun Club and Rampart. I'll only go up to Rampart on weekday mornings to beat the asshattery that seems to run rampant up there.

    I'm on vacation until just after Christmas. I'm always willing to shoot.

    Never heard of Falcon Gun Club.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Mick-Boy, I was wondering about this too. Actually, I'm not familiar with either Falcon SC.

    How long is long? I hear that Isaak Walton (just South of HWY 94 at the base of Garbage Hill) has up to 200 yrds, but I like to get in a little 300yrd sighting prior to elk hunting season. Frontiers web site doesn't list any details about their ranges (or perhaps I just don't know where to look).

    I will answer for Mick-Boy. He is out of touch for a bit.

    Frontier totally screwed up their new range. They had a golden opportunity to make it a world class range with tons of pistol ranges and rifle ranges out to 1,000 yards plus. But instead they did nothing more than recreate their north range. Three friggin huge pistol ranges and rifle berms out to 300. I will stay a member there, but shoot there (the south range, I will never shoot at the North range) very rarely.

    WPGC is without a doubt expensive. But it does keep the dirtbags and gangbangers away. That I like.

    PWSA does not start a waiting list until Jan or Feb.

    I shoot pretty much at PWSA only. All though I work in the Springs and used to live there, now I live about 10 mins from PWSA! I only had to wait about 2 months to get it.

    If you want to contact the guy in charge of membership, just let me know and I'll give you his phone #.
