Hello all, I am new to the civilian shooting community. I serve in the Colorado Army National Guard. Been shooting for 20 years. Primary firearms instructor for my unit. I'm interested in competing primarily to meet other shooters and refine my marksmanship skills. Trying to shake off the Cobb webs. Majority of rounds I put down range in my life were in combat (Iraq.) I'm just here to learn and have fun. Any advice on ranges, clubs, or general shooting info for this area. So far I have only been to the county range. Great indoor range and great staff!

A lot of us shoot at Onto Road Shooting Range. Membership is very fair, distances out to 700 yards.
Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum! There are plenty of shooting activities available in the area. If you like Hi-Power Rifle and F-Class the Cheyenne Rifle and Pistol club holds matches on their outdoor range.

Currently, Otto Rd Range offers Cowboy Action, Defensive Pistol, IDPA, Bowling Pins, Steel Challenge, NRA Action Pistol, and Tactical/Hunter Rifle. Go to their website for further information about the activities and to see the schedule. Come on out and have some fun! www.ottoroadshootingrange.com |

Welcome rring
Look forward to meeting you. A lot of good people here on this page and in this local shooting community. We all try to shoot as much as possible and use the avenue of competition as a means to get together and share our love of the sport. If you dont see anything that you think you are interested in then ask away and we might be able to point you in a good direction. If you have any questions about any of the events that adr or jmglasgow have mentioned, almost all of us have shot them and can answer any questions that you have.
Cheers!
PS Otto Road is the place to be!

Thanks for all of the responses! Adr your email was helpful and I will start training as you recommended. Is there going to be another NRA action pistol match that I can attend to get classified before August? Unfortunately I have an Air Assault mission on the 1st of May and won't return until the evening of the 3rd. I will try to get off early to attend the match, but dependent on the Army. Look forward to seeing y'all on the range.
