Boy, ain't that the truth. Those freakin' morons have managed to shut down the Roosevelt NF area NW of Denver, and they're working hard on doing the same at the Grasslands. Every decent shooting spot out there is so littered with empty casings you can barely see the dirt. The illiterate jerks even shoot up old TVs and leave the carcasses behind. I wonder where these drooling jackasses will go once they've managed to shut down every public shooting venue in the state?

This is something my honey and I had been discussing during our time at a public range we frequent thats up near masonville/stove prairie. We're trying to organize a cleanup of the place before it gets shut down, but have a few problems with getting this done.
#1 If we post a flyer/map at the Gun Shops in this area we could possibly attract even more folks who will just mess the place up more (and its pretty bad as it is, glass, computers, shells everywhere)
#2 I'm thinking we would need a truck to haul the stuff out of there, and possibly would need to offer some kind of enticement (free food/ammo/witty limericks)
#3 We really don't know anyone up here who shoots, so just getting together one weekend with friends is tough
I had thought about building a bench or two, and some target holders for the place, but judging from the behavior I see up there now I'm sure it would all be shot to heck in a week or two
Does anyone have any experience organizing something like this or suggestions on what to do ? I really like the place and sometimes have nightmares of driving up there to find its been closed down.
