Your Input Is Needed - Shooting Spots

[rondog]

Just my opinion, but some things shouldn't be made common knowledge to every Joe 6-pack and inbred out there. I mean, sharing info here is fine, but a website open to every schlub on the internet? Think about it, the more people there are that know about the "good spots", the sooner those good spots go away or become trash dumps. The old Rampart Range shooting range comes to mind. And Left Hand Canyon. Know'n I'm sayin'?

I mean, the info's out there already on gun forums, Jeep/4wd/camping forums, etc., do we really need another website to condense it even more? Not trying to throw water on your plan, I'm just thinking that some people don't need the info. But that's just my opinion, and we know what that's worth.....just what you paid for it.

I have considered that as well. Right now I intend for it to be a closed website by invitation only (except camping) but I also realize that it's not like just one person knows about the site anyway. I welcome suggestions, though, on how we could protect against this kind of situation. I want a public site but haven't figured out how to address, as you put it, the "Joe 6 Pack" asshats.

Guys who four-wheel have the same problem, people trash great spots and they get closed and it's impossible to "hide" good spots for very long. However, if the community as a whole commits to keeping sites clean then perhaps shooters won't be cast in such a bad light.
