    Denver CO

    Are there any Cast shooters in the Denver area that can shoot on week days?

    I almost never shoot on the weekends around here, way too many people at the shooting ranges. Where are you wanting to go shooting? I can probably meet up next week one day

    I am usually free. What range did you have in mind?

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    I'm on the east side of town. Are you planning on shooting rifle or pistol or both? Where would we be shooting and what would be the cost, if any, for using the facilities?

    Right now I try to get out at least once a week but the day and time seem to vary quite a bit from week to week. For me, Wednesday or Friday from mid-morning to afternoon if we are shooting indoors and earlier (before the heat sets in) if outdoors would work best.
    Some times it's the pot,
    Some times it's the pan,
    It might even be the skillet,
    But, most of the time, it's the cook.

    I shoot at Great Guns way to heck up north. I am on the waiting list at Boulder Rifle Club and there's a slim chance I'll make it while still alive...

    That range was bought by the Golden Gun Club 20 years ago and is open. http://www.goldengunclub.com/ Their matches are open to the public but otherwise you must be a member or a guest of a member to shoot there. They capped their membership several years ago and now have a waiting list in order to get in. One of the fellows I shoot league with said he was on it for over 2 years before he got in.

    Wow Pretty stark still. At least they have covered shooting bays now. I did most of my shooting out off Piccadilly but I believe someone came along and dropped and airport on top of my buddies dairy farm. Eman-en-t Doe-mane.

    Stay away from that Gunsmoke gun shop. The fella is a fraud but I knew his wifey Renae back in the 80's when she was an NG nurse in Aurora.

    I like the Pawnee National Grasslands during the week or any day during the winter. You can at up and shoot out to 1500y pretty easily in some spots where the land lays right for that activity.

    I shoot at the Colorado Rifle club north east of Byers, look it up. It is very busy on weekends, but wide open weekdays. I can take a guest for free, you can join as well.

    anybody in the denver area interested in a joint project for lead removal from a dirt berm. I have a club, maybe more than one, that would like me to clean the ranges. I have the "heavy" equipment but could use some screeners and help. still in talks to get particulars but we would take all the range scrap and pay them a percentage of the value. this could work into a regular yearly event.

    I have been the Pawnee grasslands. Nice range, but a long drive from Denver. Same for the area down by Woodland Park in the Nat. Forrest. Seems like it is a two hour drive from Denver to a shooting area that is not a private club. If nothing else it would be nice to get together for coffee and chat(BS session). Maybe figure out someplace.
