History More than 95% of the Front Range forests and grasslands allow recreational shooting, and Fort Carson's International Shooting Park began in 1985, which is leased to USA Shooting and is closed to general users. Ent Gun Club's 2006-7 efforts approved by the fort to open recreational Fort Carson trap/skeet operations were rescinded (the Peterson AFB club disbanded May 31, 2007). The Secretary of the Army approved the new facility in 2011 and the range site was transferred to the post's MWR department. The El Paso County government and the fort signed a Memorandum of Agreement for moving the county firearms training from the Pikes Peak Community College range shared with the Colorado Springs police department. The "nonprofit called “A Soldier's Friend” has been established to help raise funds for the shooting complex", and phase 1 bids to the El Paso County commissioners were due May 3, 2012. See Also
