At this point you will be at the intersection of E 144th Ave and Imboden Road. Continue east for 1/2 mile to the main gate which is located on the South side of the road.
Across from 4 small silos (one is toppled over), there is an orange cattle guard with a white swing arm type gate. This is the entrance.

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.
Misc:
NOTE: If you are having a problem finding .22 ammunition please contact us using the contact information below.
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 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.
The Ladyseed is a shoot for the ladies! All participants will be female. You'll have really great, friendly men and women to instruct you. Bring your daughters, moms, sisters, best friends. You'll have a memorable time of fellowship, marksmanship and heritage. Sometimes we even have chocolate!
