    Default South Site Report 1/18/2010

    Just got back from the South shooting site. I was there from 10:00 - 2:30 in the tan Silverado with my fiance. I didn't really get a chance to talk to anyone, but it was quite busy - there were no less than three vehicles there at all times. She had never been there before and really enjoyed it!

    The weather was a bit cool at first (46*F) but around 1:00 the sun came out and it got up to (54*F). There was very little trash around the site, and the only thing I picked up that wasn't mine were a few dozen shotgun hulls and a few glass bottles. Otherwise, the site was very clean and we had lots of fun! She isn't a huge fan of the shotgun mostly because it's too big for her, but she really likes my AR!

    How are the "trail conditions" there? Last time I was there the washouts were getting pretty bodacious.

    i know tis been asked, but how far is this site from denver again? ive gone to the north site, and its fine, but it takes me quite some time to get there. if im wanting to set up some metal targets at 300 yards and beyond, would the north or south site be best? thanks!

    The south site takes me about 1 1/2-2 hours From Westminster. The spot that We grab most of the time is only about 100-110 yrds. But there are spots down there that should be able to get 300-400 out of.

    Yeah, the 110yd spot seems to be the most popular. Where can you get 300-400yds? I usually don't take the road past the 110yd spot. What is past there? The first time I went, I stuck to the left side of the trails and went back kind of far when another truck came up behind me. I asked him where the shooting range was, and he pointed back to the 110yd spot. Does somebody live back there or something? He acted like he wasn't there to use the range and he didn't want me to follow him, so I've never ventured back that way since. Can anybody provide some input here? Thanks.

    how much is membership though?

    also, do they set up targets or do you bring your own, paper or metal? it does look like a really nice range, if its affordable for me id join.
