Places to Shoot near Denver

[M1A]

I know what you are thinking....

I inherited a medium-large collection and I would love to try some out. I'd prefer within an hour's drive. I have heard of a place called Left Hand Canyon. Was just told to bring a few extra bags for trash. I would rather not go to a range, as I am a poor kid that cannot afford to go to a range yet. I want to shoot my 40X to atleast 225 yds. Also can you shoot targets at a SWA or not? I have one in mind, but IDK if you can shoot there. Mt. Evans SWA if this is needed.

If you can afford ammo, you can afford a range.

Ok...well I dont really want to go on a range, too structured, and I just dont have time to do meetings, work parties, ect. I barely have time to shoot.

What you're wanting is nearly impossible. If there were a place like that less than an hour from Denver, it would be a trash pit and overran with idiots.

Ya... the Front Range is not the most free shooting range friendly place in the USA.

I have definately figured this out. However, if anyone knows of any spots say out east or southeast of Denver that would be great. The closest free spot that I know of close to Denver is on the backside of Guanella Pass above Georgetown. I want to go shooting without having to deal with Range Nazis and stupid people in general. All I am looking for is a open space on federal land with a backstop.
