Going through some old posts and saw this one.

I go to Rampart every once in a while. I totally agree that it is much better to go early and on weekdays. I made the mistake of going there once on a Saturday afternoon with the wife. I will never make that mistake again. Between the mall ninjas and gangstas, I thought the range was about to become two-way.

As for Saint Peter's Dome, it's a shame it is closed to shooting. I live just off Old Stage Road, so it sure would be convenient. To the best of my knowledge, you can shoot within the confines of a National Forest, as long as you obey all the rules, however, there is no place in Pike National Forest to shoot inside of El Paso County. I wonder if Teller County has some places to shoot farther up Old Stage Road?
