Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
They are fine with 22lr on the hunter's pistol silhouette range at West end of range road. Huge area with chickens at 40,pigs at 50,ducks at 77and rams at 100.
Wife and I spent 3 nights down there over last Thanksgiving. We stayed in the shared cabins, $60/day, included range fees. While it was cold and snowy, had no phones or TV we got in our share of range time and had a relaxing great time. Elk, muleys, pronghorn and turkey all outside our front door. Definitely going back.
Just came back from another trip down there. Summer in Raton... HOT!
Awesome time again and the ranges were pretty desolate mid week. If you Satu in the accommodations there, be sure to bring a portable fan. Made all the difference in the world.
Other good items to pack include gloves for handling the steel targets. Lots of sharp edges, lead and they are hot as hell to handle from laying out in 100 degree sunshine.
Rattle cans of flat black paint. Makes targets more visible when they get dirty and dusty.
Great times. Definitely worth the trip.
