Recreational Sport Shooting Management Decision.

Posted on: May 2nd, 2023

Below is a link to a USFS announcement about a public comment period on the their 2019 Recreational Sport Shooting Management Decision.

Although public comment was received prior to the USFS 2019 final decision, there is now apparently another comment period required by the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act.

I encourage anyone in the mountain areas of Boulder County that are concerned about recreational shooting to submit comments.  If the majority of comments submitted are from those opposed to the management plan (shooters) then I am concerned the plan may not be implemented as originally intended.  Note that they are asking folks to not duplicate comments that they may have submitted earlier.

Please note also that while Clear Creek, Gilpin and Larimer Counties are mentioned as being in the process of developing ranges, there is no mention of Boulder County doing so at this time.
