I've lived most my life in western NY except for a few years in the early 80's when I lived in Colorado Springs. I've dreamed of moving back to the Rockies ever since. Next week it is all coming back around though. This time to the Denver area....closer to all the playgrounds I frequent (as often as a nonresident can frequent that is!).
So if there's some fellow gangers that wouldn't mind a little extra company at whatever events you've got planned, I plan on doing a lot of playing in the hills!!
And since I'm most likely going to be an apartment dweller for a bit, I'll be looking for a shop to rent as well. Any info is appreciated!!
This is gonna be great!!...Don
Good luck brother. Thats some of Gods greatest country.
Have fun man, wish I could talk my wife into moving, south florida is killing me :)
Don, Welcome back the Rockies. You'll have a great time. If you ever make it up North, stop on in.
Well you will be close to Rocky Mtn Specialty Gear, a great trad shop and then there is a great trad shoot June 24-26 up in elk country (a must do). Check here for details http://colotradarchers.com/
Welcome... You're going to love it here!
Hi Don,
Welcome to the west as a western New Yorker myself, finally transplanted to the west, I know how you feel. Been trying to find a way to move west since the early 80s and now I am there. Well actually I am in New York for the weekend working on my house but after the flight monday I will be driving right past the Denver area on my way back HOME. Good luck with the move and be safe, Joe
Hey well back... join the CBA... and we've got a great trad association. CTAS. see you at the CBA jamboree in July.
Best of luck on your move. I think CO is the prettiest state I have ever had the chance to visit......Randy
Don, There are several VERY nice 3-D ranges in the front range area, with several public shoots over the summer/fall seasons. I agree 100% with kadbow the CTAS shoot is a MUST DO.
Feal free to get in touch with me or go to R.M.S.G. The guys in thier are great to talk to.
I can't really add any more info than what the other CO boy's already provided. Other than the Cherry Cricket has great burgers. Welcome to CO, do you know what part of Denver you are going to live in
Hope you have room for me sometime !! Especially in Sept.
Good luck on the move and new job.
As mentioned, make sure you join CTAS and make the high country shoot. It is a great time!
Awesome deal for you. My daughter and her family just moved to Grand Junction at beginning of the year. I plan on spending a lot of time in Colorado's vast playground with the grandkids.
The High Country shoot is the first thing on the agenda. Hope to see ya there or along the trail somewhere.
Get ahold of me if in the denver area if you want to visit the bow collection here. Jim
Thanks for all the info guys and I will definitely be at the CTAS shoot in june!!
I was a bit slow on replies...computer went down!!
Sounds like an adventure!
The Colorado Traditional Archers Society (CTAS)has an excellent shoot in June.(see their web site). Great place to meet alot of trad folks and we could use your help to set up or they have many other help needs. Hope to see you there. sw
Good luck, I know the feeling I spent all last summer & fall in Montana & ended up coming back here & it just isnt the same. Gonna try & go back if I can find work. Theres just no place like the Rocky mountain west!
Don- We're always glad to have another addition to the Colorado Trad Family. I handle the registrations for the CTAS High Country Shoot and look forward to seeing you there. Let me know if you need more info than is on the CTAS website.
Steve
I sure wish I were moving with ya!! My wife just got back from Estes Park, she said the Elk were everywhere.
