From Florida to CO (Castle Rock)

[Kyle Wheeler]

I volunteer with the Castle Rock chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and extend an invite to you for the annual banquet which will be on May 4th. Perhaps you can meet some local people there as well! Basic info will be at RMEF.org and go to Get Involved/Events/Colorado then to Castle Rock Chapter. There's also a Hunting and Fishing Expo in early April at the Gaylord Rockies Rockies Resort and Convention Center which should be a great outdoor show. Welcome to Colorado!

Looking this up now thank you!

I live 10 minutes from there. It’s definitely the best archery course within 45 minutes of castle rock. It’s a nice course with fun shots. There’s also some big bulls on there during the winter

Thanks so much! That is good to know. I went to the sight in range and just became a member. Would love to go shoot with anyone else who is a member.

I'm in Parker, right down the road. Been here 12 years. Castle Rock is great, good access to a lot of adventures. If you thought Waterton was busy, cruise down to the Deckers area on a weekend between April and October.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Seems like lots of guys around here on rokslide. I went in October and was shocked. Couldn’t find a good spot hardly to fly fish with my 3 year old . Beautiful still I’m really enjoying this area!

Fellow local Denverites

See below thread of interested. Looking to do an optics comparison in near future and always love the help and other unbiased eyes.

So I guess I’m bored. But 5 years ago or so I invested a good chunk of $ to purchase (then resell) a dozen or so $1000 binos and then eventually a few of the same in spotters and wrote some bro level, objective as possible, comparisons. I know we see a lot of these online by folks who have way...

Very exciting! Just replied and followed thread about joining. Would be a great time!

Better than the academy course? That’s awesome. I’ll have to check it out too.

Academy courses are best I’ve ever seen.

Gaylord Rockies Rockies Resort and Convention Center. Now, if there was ever a need to change the name of something, this would be one.

I’ve never been. That’s too far for me to go regularly

the HR course is awesome. You'll have to go to the rec center and buy an annual pass if you want to go a lot. worth it if you're going to use it. I forget now how many targets are out there, and i think its a little over a mile, you can shoot past 100 on some targets. 90 on the moose is as far as i ever ventured. I miss that course! Nothing like that anywhere near me now in the lowcountry of charleston sc.

Moved from Georgia to Parker in '98 and to Elizabeth last year. My wife lived in Castle Rock for ten years.

Check out Ben Lomond Gun Club for ranges to 600 yards.

Hey Kyle welcome to CO!

Thanks again for the Stove!

I'm right to the South in Northern Springs. Down for hikes, coffee, beer, fishing, whatever.

Hey Denver folks, my family is moving to Evergreen in May. Would love to meet and fish or shoot with some of y’all.

 

[Kyle Wheeler]

Hey everyone just realized I didn’t respond but thanks reaching out! Would anyone be down for every other Thursday early AM training hikes? If so I’ll message and get your number. We can move around but I have a good route in Castle Rock but open to ideas as well and we can go early before work.

Awesome! We love evergreen. Are you ever near Castle Rock?

We’ve only been here a couple months, but so far we’ve not ventured down that way. We both work from home and our kids are in school in Evergreen, so just not much to take us down to CR.

Man, I would stay away from Elizabeth. Nothing good out here. Castle Rock is way better….
