Super 8 Motel, 6120 E. Champlin Drive, Fountain, CO 80817, 719-382-4610. Take exit 128 off I-25. Go west, turn right on Champlin Lane, then right onto Champlin Drive, follow it around to the left and the motel is on your left. There is also a truck stop and Biscuits Restaurant nearby. About 15 miles from range.

Get on Interstate 25. If coming from Colorado Springs or points north, go south. If coming from Pueblo or points south, go north. At Exit 122, exit from Interstate 25. Go east on Old Pueblo Rd across the railroad tracks, then north. After 1.68 miles on Old Pueblo Rd, turn hard right onto Hanover Rd. Go southeast, then east for about 7 miles. At Hammer Rd turn left and go north 2 miles to the first gate. Continue on the private road north then NE 3.5 miles to another gate, which is the entrance to the Gun Club. See www.frontiersportsman.com for a map Once you get through the first gate it's over 3.5 miles to get to the actual range and then the berm so we are including the GPS to the berm. This is a difficult one to find.

We will shoot at 25 meters the first day, and 200 & 300 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 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 at full distance, 400 - 500 rounds for 25-meter work. GI sling highly recommended. 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! Frontier 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, and hearing protection. Weather can range from sunny in the 90’s (in summer) to overcast and windy in the 30’s (anytime). Expect overcast, possible snow and windy in spring and fall. Bring layered winter gear, rain gear, warm head gear, and gloves you can shoot in. Expect hot, dusty, po

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. Be sure to check state laws.
