colorado rifle club vs lead valley range

[sportbikeco]

I need to join a range and these two look like the best option at the moment based on where I live (east Denver) and they don't currently have a wait list.

I've never been out to CRC but have been to lead valley, which I thought was ok. Anyone been to both and have any thoughts on how they compare?

Been to both. I prefer CRC. And it's a little bit closer.

Not really comparable IMO. CRC has been established for a very long time, Lead Valley has only been around for approx 10 yrs.

CRC has many different ranges and a wide variety of events.

Lead Valley(I was a member from 2007-2012) is still being built and established. We waited for 5 years for the 500yd range(still not finshed at the time I let membership lapse) and for them to host/start regular competitions.

Have been friends with the owner of Lead Valley for at least 10 yrs but CRC has the features and benefits that fit me and my family.

There are not enough pics for me to understand your question.

Ok, so what about CRC vs Ben Lomond? CRC is closer to me than BL.

If you can handle the drive, and like shooting in wind, CRC is pretty nice.

CRC is huge, about 3 or 4 times the numbers of shooting positions as BL. The East range, where most of the action shooting occurs, is larger than most of the other ranges. There are 14 berms, one a 100 and one a 200, with steel. Then there is the Silhouette range, 50 to 500 meters, with steel. There is also sporting clays and if you have clays, you can shoot there whenever you want. Also the Hi-power range, with benches at 1000 and 600, and steel and pits. There have been a lot of improvements in the last 5 years, and it was the premier range in CO then.
