Joe – I’m relatively new at this but wouldn’t mind helping out here (Plateville isn’t too far from the Fort), especially if one or more of the other, more experienced guys came along – 60 fourth graders for 45 minutes??…   Read more»

Prairie dogs were eliminated this morning, but only at 350 yds; AR in .223/5.65 NATO. Still a good time.

I did the Nucla Prarie Dog Shoot a couple times back in the 90’s…. nothing like exploding plague infested rodents with a .222 or a .25-250 from 400 yards off a bench. Lots of good local homebrew beer too. WAY…   Read more»

Great pictures, Mike, but where is the sound? Fireworks need to have audio to make the entire event. On Wednesday I had sound but no great visual. I won a clay pidgeon competiton with my shotgun, but shoulder is a…   Read more»

Prior to touch off for the Loveland shoot on the lake, fellow pyro Walt read the Declaration of Independence out loud so we all had a better sense of the moment. 236 years of celebrating with bonfires and illuminations. Fire…   Read more»

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I will definitely be coming out to a launch soon. I am not sure if I can make the 7-7 launch (I am trying to change my work schedule; I am also about a…   Read more»

For what it is worth, you do not have to fly on federal land. I fly in parking lots, school yards,etc. Depends on where you live. I know of a spot near my house that is several hundred acres. I…   Read more»

NCR is absolutely the BEST club in Colorado for any level! My friend, you are about to become a part of a family, which includes the whole state, btw. You will be blown away by what you see AND what…   Read more»

A Quick howdy and Welcome and slight correction to information previously provided. You need not be a member of NCR to fly rockets with us but you will need to be a member of NAR or TRA to fly high…   Read more»

Thank you both for the helpful info! For the time being, I will be using mostly F20-4W motors from Aerotech (I am still waiting for my first order to come in). And I was not aware you can launch G…   Read more»

Unfortunately, from a Club perspective, you may only launch on official launch days due to our permit from the National Forest Service who administers Pawnee National Grasslands. That, plus our negotiated waiver with the FAA means that your flights are…   Read more»

I believe I can answer some of your questions. As long as you are launching a “G” or smaller motor, you can fly anywhere that is allowed.As for launching at either of our launch sites, you cannot launch at those…   Read more»

I have been working on a design to start events on rockets that is not a pull pin, (per the technical details) that could work on this project. It is bascially a spring loaded plunger switch. (Like a pressure switch)…   Read more»
