We're going to be in Denver shortly, oomans, and wondered if there are any 'must see' things to occupy us for a weekend. We know of the "Wings over the Rockies" air museum but maybe there are other things too ? Possibly shooting related?

There are so many gunshops there you're spoilt for choice. I'll send you a shopping list if you like. . .

Mile High shooting centre. Diane is great.
A few hours South will find you at the NRA - Whittington Centre. Worth a visit.
The name of the underground range in Denver escapes me - blue something. Nice people.

Oh and the big Cabelas on the Interstate South (about an hour out of Denver )

I've not tried it myself, but mates from the area recommend buying Tannerite.
Drive into the desert areas, and shoot it from a distance.
Spectacular and fun, I've heard.
