Did you know we have a dynamite shoot in western Colorado? Yep , twice a year the Volunteer Fire Department of Gateway puts on the most fun shooting/firearms event I have ever attended. If I remember correctly, some 80% of the budget is funded by these events. Gateway is located on HWY 141 very near the Utah state line. 100 yard any gun off hand, 300-500+ hunting rifle from a bench at no more than 6x scope, big dogs unlimited...800+. Also off hand at moving targets any gun and a handgun best of five shots shoot. Burgers and chips from the grill by the local high school (20 kids per year). This shoot is unique in that targets are placed on a red sandstone hill sloping up from the benches. More like a hunt than a day at the range. Gateway must be the capital of the world for "Good Ol' Boys". Travel to Gateway this spring and bring a $100 to spend...14 year old Sean won $84 at the last shoot from 3 time lighting off a pop can full of dynamite! 243 M70/handloads. Shot his first Elk this fall also. www.acsol.net/~firedept/dynamite.html |

Well, hell no Full Automtic is not welcome! We're rednecks who count every shot...$2 a shot 2 shot per turn. The goal is to hit the target...first shot. Gateway Dynamite Shoot has an offical website. I'll have my kid find it and post it. More information to follow. |
| Why the hell didn't you post this several years ago - Also does the FD have some flyers that can go in store Windows/ at the local range? I am up here in the hills but on the Westrn Slope So I'll be damn sur to make the next one..........Damn May 3rd is my Wifes birthday...........guess I'll have to take her to the big city (GJ) for some "Shopping" then figure out a way to ease on out there! |

Hey Neolock, Your right, I should have posted earlier, but I have only know about AR-15 for 6 months or so. Yep, I'll bet if you made contact with some of the crew in Gateway you could obtain posters/flyers about this event...see the link above(rickyj's post)for contact information. See you first of May in Gateway! |
