Part of Lefthand Canyon closed

[MuzzleFlash]

In my opinion only an idiot would have shot there in the first place.

Would all of B2crawler's "idiots" on this board please raise their hands?

I had some good times at LHC and yes, I picked up my brass and targets.

Back when I used to go fourwheeling all the time we made one trip to Left Hand Canyon. Never went back and there was a place along the road where you drove past a shooting site and then the switch back took you right over the top of where they were shooting. Not the smartest place to shoot anyways, and if that is the place they closed it needed to be closed.
In my opinion only an idiot would have shot there in the first place.

It is hard to find places to shoot where other people aren't doing other activites as well. this place worked out well. some people couldn't follow the simple or easy rules and ruined it for everyone.

Raises hand....

[Sucka]

Does this close off all of left hand? It sounds like not everything is closed if it is only 30 acres.

I thought you could go pretty deep back in and shoot there.

Anyone know?

+1 i'm curious as well.

It is the little slit canyon about a mile up the paved road frum the normal Lefthand spot that is closed. Not Lefthand itself but I am sure they have that in the works as well.

I live only two miles from Left Hand Canyon, up on Old Stage Road. However, between all of the retarded mouth breathers, and illegal Mexicans who frequent that area, I simply stopped shooting there on the weekends. On a weekday, it was completely safe and you had the entire area to yourself. However, I just got tired of people shooting from over my shoulder, behind me, or muzzle sweeping me.

I used to ask people politely to stop, or to correct their shooting habits, eventually I resulted to yelling, but finally I just gave up. I go shooting by Big Elk Meadows, or this one spot about 13-miles South of Lyons nowadays. .

Lefthand Canyon has been a problem for years. The rangers seem to want to close it so the problem goes away. Same with the locals.

The "slot" was the area that was closed and is up the road from main entrance to Lefthand Canyon. Recently it's been gated and is a walk in only area.

As far as I know, the main area is still open to shooting and four wheeling.

I haven't paid attention lately but wasn't the master plan for Lefthand to be closed to everything except rock buggy type vehicles?

I have been to clean-ups and have also been a greeter for CO4x4, in Lefthand. It's sad that a percentage of people go the that area just to f#@^ it up. Funny the partiers don't get a bad rap up there.

I can't wait to see where the next place to close will be.
