I agree completely.  Our growing population could easily support
another public shooting range in the county.  The waiting list at the
Boulder Rifle Club is approaching 5 years.  This would be a great
location for such a facility.  I hope if they do go public that they
can cater to us long range guys.  A 300-500 yard rifle range would be
fantastic for practise with the long range black powder Buffalo guns.

Your comments about Stafford's Mile High facility are correct as well,
except there are 'some' very good range officers there.  To avoid the
problems there, and to get access to longer range courses, I joined
the private range directly on their east border and have been more
than happy with the situation.  However, I would gladly give up the
annual fees if another range could be built up on Nelson Road.  I can
go along with the initial poster, we should contact the Sheriff's
office, but with encouragement instead of closed minded NIMBYism.
