I only got to CO two months ago and it looks like I'm out of luck for free places to shoot already! All the posts I've seen state the places are closed or about to be closed. I thought this was the WEST. I was in Maryland for 8 years where saying the work GUN can get you time in prison and the ranges were tight, smokey and expensive. I was hoping to find a place to shoot responsibly but free and I have no trouble cleaning up after myself (When I lived in Miami I used to shoot on a farm in the Everglades and the owner had no problem as long as we cleaned up). I am in Golden and don't mind driving 45 minutes or so to get to a spot where I can set up some cans or plinking targets and not be told I'm firing too rapidly after only 1 shot.
