Hey all! It's that time again. Did a few of these last year and this will be the only one I do this year. Here it goes... Great views, Great company, Great shooting!!!!!! Camping will be up by Tarryall Reservior (about 4 miles south of the dam on Turner Gulch Rd) from 20-22 May. Location as follows:
Location: From the Springs, West on HWY24 through the Ute Pass. Stay on 24 past Florissant. Make a right turn onto County Rd 77 and stay on that for about 28miles. You'll come to Tarryall Reservior. Just before the reservior take Turner Gulch road (left turn) and follow that about four miles. We'll be camping off to the right. Here are grids:
Actual campsite:
N 39 12.147'
W 105 38.813'
MGRS 13S DD 44145 39447
Dirt road turn off to site:
N 39 12.348'
W 105 38.809'

W 105 36.152'
13S DD 47989 41479
A few of us will be going up on Friday...it's a 3 day weekend for me so anyone is willing to come up that night. Plan on staying until Sunday afternoon. Bad news is I'll be PCS'ing soon so this is the last shoot I'm going to be organizing. There's a fire ring up there and plenty of wood to be scavenged. I'll be bringing some steel and cardboard for paper targets as well. We'll set up a rifle range and pistol/rimfire area as well. We'll have targets at known distances and if you want to shoot long range we can figure out your dope. Bring it all. You can access the site by car if you take it easy. One snipershide member had his BMW up there last year. If you're willing bring some food to share. I'll bring some dogs and mountain pies (2 layers of bread with pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni), and some other stuff along with water and some beer. At the least bring food for yourself!
******Please note that alcohol will only be consumed when the firearms are put away. We'll have first aid bags on site but the nearest hospital is an hour away by vehicle so the last thing we want is an accident. Recommend you bring a tent, decent sleeping bag (nights are still pretty chilly up there), and a good amount of water as well.
Don't forget your ammo! There will be plenty of shooting to be had. Post up if you're coming or have questions. Here's a few pics from previous shoots:
