This is an activity where you will use a 20-gauge shotgun to simulate hunting across the plains. An orange clay pigeon is machine launched in the air which mimics the feel and flight of a bird. Although this is a bit more challenging in the realm of shooting sports, the rush and excitement of firing the shotguns and shattering a target mid-flight is second to none on our range. If you’re looking for an exciting and explosive activity, this is the one for you!  

For this shooting exercise, you will first be instructed on how to properly sight in the rifle, and then move on to aiming and shooting at a series of still targets in the field. Participants will have the opportunity to shoot at both paper and steel targets (or “pingers” as we call them) and will be able to take their targets home with them as badges of honor and prestige from their time with us! This is a crowd favorite, and one of the most family-friendly activities that we offer at Rawah Ranch in Western Colorado. 

Our Archery range boasts an assortment of targets where you can use both recurve and compound bows. These include straw and canvas bags, mock game targets, and a collection of others as well! New to the range this year is Tomahawk and Knife throwing, which has quickly become one of the most popular activities ranch wide. Think you and your guests are up for the challenge? Come toss a few to find out!
