Who we are

We are a small business, located in Gypsum Creek in the Vail valley. We love what we do and have a passion for bringing others into the outdoor lifestyle that we live. Our mission is simple; hard work, dedication and education all through the experiences that have lead to our successes and memories. These are things we love to share as we aim to build lifelong relationships among those that share the passions we do.

Together Tim and Colin have over 10 years of experience hunting big game in the heart of Colorado’s ski country, and waterfowl or upland bird around the state and east coast. Tim is the owner of Gypsum Creek Outfitters, found in a world class unit that offers some of the best elk, mule deer and bear hunting there is around the country. With his personal experiences and those that he has shared with past clients, he has come to understand and live by the importance of hard work, dedication, and learning each aspect of his craft. Through them he has made great connections in the industry that has led us to what we do today. Colin grew up in the valley, hunting big game and jumping waterfowl any day he had the opportunity. He has guided for Tim since his graduation from college in 2021. Together they are among the most experienced and knowledgeable outfitters around. They have successfully hunted and guided Colorado big game with rifles, bows and muzzleloaders year after year. They have put up grouse, chuckar, pheasant and waterfowl with bird dogs year after year. And they have spent countless hours behind each weapon they use, in order to bring out the best of their shooting abilities when the time comes to make a clean shot on any animal. Sharing likeminded approaches to everything, they want to learn as much as possible from those they take hunting and from those that offer growth in the industry. We are really no different than those of you that immerse yourselves in the outdoors, we want to help and teach you what we know and learn anything and everything you have to offer us to excel in our craft. It all started with good friends and past clients, having a custom rifle built by Precision Hunt Supply (formerly Best of the West Arizona), and successfully filling a tag on a trophy bull elk.

With the support of Huskemaw Optics, Precision Hunt Supply, Bergara Rifles, Silencer Central, and countless other organizations, we bring you Colorado Backcountry Precision. We aim to help bring out the best of your abilities in shooting your craft. As instructors and guides we take our time in each lesson to help you understand the details that matter before you take a shot on any live animal. With long distance rifles that includes familiarizing you with the unique aspects of the Huskemaw scopes paired on our Bergara rifles; internal bubble levels, yardage turrets custom built based on the caliber and bullet that shoots best out of that specific rifle, cleaning up proper position techniques that will allow for your cleanest shot on the terrain you would encounter. Our instructors have each personally been through the same classes we bring you, with Precision Hunt Supply, and therefore will bring you a best in class lesson in preparation for your upcoming season.

Our range is among the most unique and realistic in the area. A shooting pad with access to steel targets, paired with rocks we can pick and choose from, set out among cliffs across a canyon ranging anywhere from 400 yards to over 1000 yards. Our shooting pad works two fold, shoot long distance rifles, or send some clay pigeons out over the abyss and practice shooting trap for your planned upland or waterfowl hunt. Beyond that, we offer a 3D archery range that is sure to test and fine tune your skills.
