Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Anybody want to go shooting tomorow?
I don't know where to go. I don't think the snow is gone at harris park yet. I am never going to cherry creek again and everywhere else I have been is members only. Anybody know where I can go that isnt too hard to find? And does anyone care to join me?
I just joined up at the Ben Lomond Gun Club out by Kiowa, but haven't actually been there yet. Hope to go this weekend, and I hope it's a good place!
I've never been to Cherry Creek, I've wanted to go look it over, but I ain't paying the park fee just to get in and check it out. How come you're not going back?
Where are you located at?
I went shooting today at the North Site, was soooo much fun. My first time shooting outdoors and i'm hooked. Flurries most of the day (heavier at times) and pretty windy. Damn forecast was wrong, but it was still a good day of shooting. We were the only ones there, plus a fella collecting brass for the entire ~3 hours we were there. Didn't talk to him much, but he said he was local.

What time are you going? I didn't shoot all my ammo today i had planned on, so i might be willing to head up again. I'm not driving again though, about 50 miles from me, and i'm near 120th/I25

I was thinking maybe leaving here around nine or ten in the morning. I have a jeep cherokee. So is this place in the moutains or what? I am in lakewood so I would have to take sixth to get to 25. I can pick you up.
Cherry creek isnt very laid back. They are very pushy and ask you every cease fire if you are leaving so they can get you out of there. They come by and sweep your brass so I had to keep stopping to grab my brass and tell them to leave my brass. Also they won't let you collect any brass that flies out the shooting window. You have to lay your cased guns in the windo before uncasing them. It was pretty rediculous. I am all about following rules and safety but I just didnt like that place. I lost about 150 pieces of .308 brass and didnt even break out the ars because I didnt want to lose my .223 brass. It was $7 to get in the park and $13 to shoot. How much is the club you joined and how far from the metro area?

I have had nothing but good to say about their range because it is run in such a safe manner and is a lot more comfortable atmosphere than some of the so called open places I've tried (where safety is not existent)but that's just my .02
Yeah safety is definetly key but I just didnt like the close quarters and tense atmosphere.
