Firearms Activities

CMR’s firearms programs are designed to appeal to a full range of amateur/hobby users to professional or expert firearms enthusiasts.  

It is unique for a luxury ranch to offer the wide range of firearms sports that range from hand guns to rifles as well as military style weapons starting with AR-15s to AR pistols and leading to super long-range scoped rifles.  CMR provides these opportunities in unmatched terrain with long target distances starting from 800 yds to over 2 miles and using scenic and breathtaking locations.  CMR also boasts an opportunity to shoot a Barrett M82-A1 (50 cal.) on a Humvee that was a veteran of the Iraq war.

CMR also features a twelve-station championship quality sporting-clay course designed by the notable Pete Blakeley, a pre-eminent course designer in the United States.  At the end of this course, CMR offers a “dessert” activity named the “Covey Rise” where five clay-throwing machines ejects a myriad of clays randomly and in multiples.  This crowd pleaser allows several shooters to engage these “birds” simultaneously.  There is also a trap shooting opportunity by the Teepee Lodge, conveniently located for those interested in another dimension of shotgun shooting.

Equipped with interactive targets set up for both recreation, training and competitions, the ranch is well-suited for hand-gun and rifle shooting for both recreational and vocational guests.  CMR's Firearms Wonderland is also suitable for professional training and competitions.

Guests are welcome to book for week-long 6 days/seven nights luxury vacations or for specially designed non-traditional or non-vacation use (eg. professional, instructional or training, special events etc.) in other pre-arranged time frames and costs.  For inquiries regarding details of the Firearms program, contact Grace at 720-9194090 or email to gtian@lawbrothersgroup.com.

CMR is an equestrian paradise for both people and horses and offers unprecedented horse-riding and equestrian adventures for all guests.  Blessed with incomparable scenic beauty for trail riding starting with down and along the river canyon to around the magnificent rim or inside the crevices of the Encierro Canyon, visitors will experience the thrill of horse riding never before.  Inside CMR’s covered arena or outside in other locations of this spectacular ranch, more accomplished riders can find excitement in other disciplines like English cross-country trails and jumping or Western style reining, cutting or barrel-racing or even endurance riding.  In addition, CMR offers much more than the common “nose-to-tail” trail riding; the ranch houses more than thirty high quality and well-trained horses that include quarter-horses, paints, Gypsy Vanners and Gypsy crosses in order to give guests a range of horse-riding experiences.  CMR has recently added draft horses for driving and also initiated a program for mounted shooting on horseback.  Those that have been used to riding horses in city or suburban facilities will find the most liberating thrill in engaging these fantastic animals in a wilderness paradise. 

Guests are welcome to book for week-long 6 days/seven nights luxury vacations or for specially designed non-vacation use in other pre-arranged time frames.  Inquiries can be directed to Grace at gtian@lawbrothersgroup.com.  

Bookended by the Firearms Wonderland and the Equestrian Paradise, Canyon Madness Ranch offers a host of other adventures to satisfy most vacationers’ desire.  

The size and nature of the ranch’s terrain allow CMR to showcase some of the most adventurous hikes and UTV(side by side) rides.  Our UTV rides can range from merely scenic to truly thrilling as the trails up and down around the canyon and around its edges provide challenging trails and rock-crawling.  For those interested in nineteenth century American history, remnants of old homesteads abound together with Indian artifacts like arrowheads and even pottery remnants.  

Seasonally, depending on runoff down to the Canadian River, CMR can offer river activities like kayaking or canoeing.  Although there are many small fishes and crayfish in the waters, significant fishing is not a feature at CMR.  However, the topography of both the river canyon and the “box” canyon provides some of the most memorable photographic opportunities you can ever imagine.

There are incredible rock cliffs and world-class boulders all around CMR.  Our hiking trails promises spectacular canyon views while offering Level 1 to 4 difficulty.  While CMR’s bouldering is considered “world-class” by national experts, our sport climbing routes with installed bolts with quick draws and ropes offer only 5.5 to 5.9 levels of difficulty and therefore allow for only the most SCENIC recreational climbing.  Qualified guests are welcome to climb if they are self-sufficient and do not require instruction.

CMR is blessed with challenging mountain biking trails.  Guests expert in this sport are welcome using their own bikes but CMR cannot offer equipment or instruction at this time.  

Although Canyon Madness Ranch is blessed with a plethora of wildlife, as of this writing, the ranch has not launched a mature hunting program for larger wildlife.  For now, CMR promotes shooting our large animals with cameras rather than bullets.
