Colorado Clays Calendar
September: Field Trip
Topic: Robot – Defensive Shooting
Time for a field trip! We will need to travel to Great Guns in Nunn, CO to use their 3-sided berms to be able to shoot live rounds at a remote-controlled robot (think mannequin on wheels) – Vic the Villain. This will take place in a defensive scenario where the robot will be controlled to either come toward you (attack) or go away from you (retreat). You must decide when is the appropriate time to defend yourself. If you are competent in using a holster, we encourage you to draw from the holster. You are always able to shoot from a ready position if not trained in using a holster. Spouses and significant others are always welcome on our Field Trips! They will be responsible for their own fees, however.
What to Bring: Firearm in a case, ammunition or money to purchase ammo at the range, eye and ear protection, a friend
October: Classroom & Range
Topic: Pumpkin “Carving”
Our most popular meeting! Bring your own pumpkin and “carve” it using your pistol. Remember that .22LR will give you the most precise carving. Larger calibers create more damage. Hollowpoints will result in a pile of pumpkin guts! Feel free to decorate your pumpkin ahead of time. We will hold a competition for the Best Shooting, Most Creative and Well… Nice Try!
On the range the pumpkin carving will be held on the rifle side of the range. We will take 4 shooters at a time over to carve their pumpkins. While waiting your turn we will have pumpkin-themed targets to shoot on the pistol side of the range.
What to Bring: Firearm in a case, ammunition or money to purchase ammo at the range, eye and ear protection, $10 range fee, a pumpkin, a friend
