Just a general rant...we are lucky enough to have 2 uncontrolled, outdoor ranges here around the people's republic of Boulder. One, Boulder county, in Roosevelt National Forest, above Lyons, is tremendous..about 6-7 'stations', very safe, great place to shoot BUT..I went up there yesterday to shoot my new Ruger 1022(great rifle, BTW..got the takedown/stainless..great fun)..but the first 'station was TRASHED...empty beer can cardboard cases, ton of empty beer cans(shoot and drink-bad, another thread)..trash everywhere..yup, I shot and always take some garbage bags, picked this crap up.
NOT saying I am the model citizen but these ranges could be closed in a heatrbeat if the Forest Service decides they are trashed..happened north of Boulder, in Left hand Canyon so......if you are lucky to have an uncontrolled range near you, that is self policing, safety and trash wise..be safe and pick yer trash up(and don't drink and shoot-bad, IMHO, also illegal, yes?)..
Rant off.....
