Was wondering if anyone was interested in getting together in the Denver area. I've got a membership at K2 in Lakewood so I can reserve us some lanes (pistol, rifle, etc). It's indoors, but it's a pretty nice range.

I was thinking maybe Saturday the 19th? I'll be there anyways if anyone wants to join me :cool:

FWIW, the Colorado AR-15 Shooters (http://coloradoshooting.org/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/index.php) do a shoot, I believe, every month. They alternate between somewhere south of Denver, and a spot in northwest Boulder county.

(I'd be interested, but I'm heading up to Montana that weekend for a week. Wee.)

There are also frequent ISPC, 3Gun, and precision rifle matches.

still going if anyone wants to meet up.

Maybe - I'll have to check the schedule (Rescue always comes first).

It looks like both Susan and I will be able to be there!

:uhoh:

:D

Ouch!

I didn't remember the restriction on only factory ammunition! (I don't go to indoor ranges much. . .) Several thousand handloads will just have to wait for a sunny day up in Fairplay!

It shouldn't be a problem, just more expensive than I'd planned.

:what:

It was delightful to meet you!

Susan and I needed a bit of an adjustment period to get used to shooting in an underground, indoor range - but once Susan settled in - well, I think all present can agree that the heavyweight she-wolf is definately back!

You were a friendly and courteous host, wonderfully generous with letting us share your firearms (and we delighted in seeing your new experiences with what we brought) - I have to apologize that the only gift I could have at hand was my last target of 14 rounds of .45acp from my Kimber Compact Stainless (nothing the normal world would find remarkable, at 7.5 yards in about 12 seconds, admittedly - but I was allowed to share my pride in that achievement with someone we consider a new friend)!

Susan was so charged up, that on the way back up the hill, she admitted she was ready to go for another 600 rounds or so at the earliest opportunity at our range in Fairplay!

It looks like the Dillon wil be getting a regular workout as the weather improves!

K2 has a courteous staff, and the range is clean and very functional (albeit the lighting seems to simulate twilight). I wholeheartedly recommend it for those of us who recognize a periodic session in an indoor range is a valuable component in any disciplined training - especially for those on the west side of the Denver metro area!

Oh - Susan wants to get her targets up in the bedroom tomorrow! That says a lot.

Your new Makarov is an interesting pistol - neither of us had ever shot one until today! Great find!

I'm exhausted - and even Susan is tired, but she's actually smiling in her sleep!

Again, thank you very much!

I had a blast too. The new Makarov was a wonderful addition to my growing collection, and i'm glad that sharing the guns in my small collection made someone happy. The chance to shoot some of those hand-cannons was exhilerating.
