interest in setting up a spot in pawnee?

[zimagold]

The area I had in mind upon further review is a mixture of both State and Federal Land. Although people setup and shoot 300-1200yds on a regular basis it does not appear to be legal.

I have a few locations that work to 600yd. However, the 1000yd range with partial road access to set targets remains a unicorn.

If you don't mind walking to set your targets and want to shoot 1000yds, you can setup off 96 facing north in a few locations west of the Baker Designated Area.

Edit: Make sure to check the latest shooting closures before heading out. The area south of 96 in the area of 57 and 61 was recently closed.

Bump. Interested.

OK here's a deal suggestion. Join the Pawnee shooting sports club. Divide the membership by 3-4 shooters. That's approx $40 per wit a 4 limit per. I know someone who did it and everyone's happy, when they can get time to shoot.

It's steel out to 1K. Targets are set up, nice shooting berm, but uncovered. All you need to do is get set up and shoot.

I'm a member there. If someone would like to check it out before committing, lmk. YES. it's a drive from the metro area. However some of you were willing to hit pawnee anyway. Why not shoot in a controlled environment.
Not someplace the rangers will chase you from
OR....as 1 or 2 other members can confirm. Have rounds hitting near you as you retrieve those 700- 1K plates. See post #3


HOWEVER i am on a real tight schedule this month, up till end of May. If not, they have open to public shooting friday afternoon, sat-sunday.

I too am interested in this. Anybody go to the spot with the concrete well, you can see a windmill? Not sure what the deal is with this spot but theres always tons of brass I pick up/clean up when I go. Somebody drove by as I was cleaning up and they waved with a smile so I assume they live near by possibly. Lots of range out there but BRUTAL grasshoppers or whatever in the summer. Also have to check the wind before heading out if you want to shoot rimfires at any kind of long range.
I sometimes will go to bakers draw to zero and then head out to find more rand. Eventually I would love to be able to get out to a mile if possible (once I get a bigger caliber)
If anybody wants to head out one of these up coming weekends I will be going out to rezero some rimfires and shoot some off my steel at a couple hundred yards. One time was connecting consistently at 400 with a .17 HMR.
I'm in Longmont looking to head out this weekend or next.

Think I will head up there this weekend.

Think I will head up there this weekend.

Looks like it should be fairly calm up there this weekend. I think I may have to head up.

My biggest gripe with Pawnee Sportsmans Center is no back-stops at each target. When you hit you are golden, but if you miss, its almost impossible to tell where your round went. Somewhere into the grass a long ways down range.

Unless they improved it since my last visit?

No they have not. You're correct, looking for misses are almost impossible. For that matter so it anywhere on the grasslands. The up side is one avoids a possible Off Road Fine of $275. Surely, you've heard about those

I have only been to their 200 (or 250 y range) but want to check out the 1,000. They have steel every 100 correct?
I liked the place alot the one time I went. Funny thing is Sportsmens club is 1.5 hours away and CRC is exactly 1.5 hours away. Think I'm gonna join CRC and just pay the public fee at Pawnee.

I have some work to do in the AMs this weekend but want to head up at lunch one of these days. Anybody else going? either the range or find a spot.
