Find a Place to Shoot

We know it has gotten tough to find places to hunt and shoot on the front range in Northern Colorado. We fight the same problem all the time. Below are some of the options for rifle, pistol, and shotgun shooting that are reasonably close.

In addition to the ranges listed below, there is always the public land out at the Pawnee National Grasslands as well Arapahoe and Roosevelt National Forests if you just want to go plinking. We recommend the Pawnee Grasslands, about 10 miles east of Ault on Hwy 14. General information about these areas can be found at the US Forest Service website.
