State Laws to be aware of:
It is the responsibility of attendees to know and comply with all Colorado and Federal Firearms Laws.
If passing thru Denver: 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.

The Crestone gas station is out of business. Please remember to top off your tank before heading to the range. The closest gas to the north is about 114 miles round trip. The stations to the south range from 60-100 miles round trip.
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. Bring rain gear, jacket, 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. If rain or snow is expected, bring a tarp to put your mat on.
