GPS: North 39.12.316, West 104.11.034, Altitude 6,203 feet

State Laws to be aware of: Denver has an Assault Weapons Ban for rifles with mags over 20 rounds, also mags over 20 rounds are banned. Although there are provisions for a non-resident passing through, it is best to keep weapons cased and simply avoid stopping in Denver altogether. They will arrest you and make you hire a lawyer to get your rifle back. There is no state Assault Weapons Ban. Open carry is legal in Colorado except in some cities (don't press your luck in cities, they'll find something else to charge you with). Concealed carry requires a permit. No loaded long arms in vehicles – chamber must be empty (hunting law), handguns OK. Check State Laws.

Misc: We will shoot at 25 meters the first day, and out to 400 yards the second. Bring a .22 rimfire rifle and some spare mags for the first day and gain valuable marksmanship skills without using up your expensive center fire ammo. Bring a military pattern high power rifle for the second day and see those 25-meter skills transfer to actual distance. You will want at least 100 high power rounds to sight in and shoot a couple of AQTs at full distance, 400 - 500 rounds for 25-meter work. If you don’t have both rifles don’t worry. Bring what you have and we’ll work with you. If you have a new high power rifle or new mags you want to check out at 25-meters, that’s OK too. While it is expensive, there is no better way to learn if you can depend on your equipment than putting 400 - 500 rounds through it in two days. Afterwards, you‘ll most likely change something!

BLGC is a cold range. No Tracer, AP, or incendiary ammo allowed (fire hazard, hard on steel targets). Attracts a magnet is OK.
Please leave your rifles in the car until asked to bring them to the firing line. Please, no handguns (concealed or open) on the firing line. Bring layered clothing, a windbreaker, and lightweight gloves, eye protection, hearing protection. Weather could range from sunny in the 80’s to overcast and windy in the 40’s or lower. Bring rain gear, a lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. A shooting jacket will be extremely helpful for the high power shooting, and a shooting mat, e.g., a 4’ x 7’ carpet scrap, will be desired for prone and sitting. For more on what to bring see www.rwva.org.
