    Default Roaring Fork area - Shooting/Training areas? Private land?.

    I'm going to be spending the rest of the summer with my GF and her family in Basalt about half way up the Roaring Fork. The only problem is that I'm a fairly serious competitive shooter and have several major matches coming up in Sept and Oct and will need a place to train. What are my options, especially with the fire ban in place?

    If anyone has a private range that they would graciously allow me to access, I would be happy to barter some coaching and training in return. I'm basically a nobody, but have won multiple national level matches with 100+ competitors and also have a small firearms training side hustle including CCW instruction, etc. I'm safe, sane, and highly responsible. I'm a gov't contractor in my day job, highly background checked, licensed EMT, etc.

    Well, it appears that the morons that were shooting tracers at the public range in Basalt a few years back and started a forest fire ruined it for everyone else as the public range in Basalt is closed due to fire restrictions, never used to close for that.

    There's a public range in Rifle that is still open (Basalt looks to be the only one that is closed), there are also some gun clubs in Glenwood and Gypsum.

    Here is a map of public ranges:

    Wow. Morons is an understatement.

    Thanks for the replies @ChickNorris and @def90 it looks like my options are pretty non existent. A quick review of the public ranges within reasonable driving distance wouldn't really work for anything other than slow fire bullseye, they're not really set up for training anything related to modern practical shooting. I'll continue looking for private land. Sigh.
