The outdoor range, is located in Noel's Draw on U.S. Highway 34, about 3.5 miles East of the Olympus Dam, on the right just past mile marker 68.

Safety protocol and range officer duties are self-managed by members while they use the range. Click here for a Map. The exact instructions for using the outdoor range are here.

May 15, 2012 – Members:
Wear your painting clothes as we will be scraping off old paint found on our tables and benches. Extra scrapers from home would be helpful while others will be painting behind your work with the supplied brushes and paint.
If time avails us, scraping the brown pod structure will be needed. Paint and brushes will also be supplied for this storage building. A ladder from home would be helpful.
Wheel barrows for the SACON 25 yard pistol range will be needed to remove the built up SACON dust to another area for sifting to find lead. Bring your shovels, hoes and rakes. Digging holes to replace shot-up PVC pipe will be a big focus and placing 2 inch couplings on repairable pipe will be done.
Target holders will need some reconstruction at the rifle range. We need 5 complete target stands for the CMP Clinic to be held in early June. Bring used lumber no longer than 6 feet as 5 feet would be fine in 2X4 or 2X6. Saws will be needed, battery drills and we do have some 2½ to 3 inch screws on hand.
Canvas entire range for paper and trash, backstop sifting to retrieve lead at Rifle and Trap/Tactical range and, last but not least, the never ending brass pick-up.
Inspect Archery range for winter repairs. Refresh and sweep the Vault Restroom. Sweep and clean the 25 yard Storage shed.
The Club will provide water.
Of Course bring that friendly smile, yourself, family and friends. The gate will be open from 9:30 to 1:30 for easy access.
April 20, 2012 – At the Board meeting on April 10 Gordon Ulrickson of Estes Park stepped up and was selected by the Board to serve as Interim President for the balance of this year. Jonathan Martin of Boulder was selected to serve as the Interim Secretary.
July 23, 2010 – Soil samples were taken from four 10 foot holes at the Upper Pistol Range (the former trap range) on Wednesday. Our structural engineer, John Spooner, will be receiving the report along with your President from Landmark Engineering. This is part of the process to install the poles for the Shot Barrier Curtain that will allow the Club to offer once again, after five years of non-use, shooting clay pigeons at our Trap Range. Members are still not allowed to use portable clay throwers and can only pattern their shotguns at the provided backstops.
