• It's EAST of Byers.. yeah its a drive. MAP It's at the intersection of HWY36 and County road 60
• ??? The rifle range Faces East into the morning Sun.(I'll let you decide on your own if that's a Con to you)

Next the Pros.

• Its Out there a bit...you aren't going to see your name in the paper because a stray hit someones cat or some shit.
• Its sits in a small Draw so there will be some wind protection afforded.
• They have Private lanes for 50 yd.
• They have a NICE open 100 yd.
• They are working on a 500 yd (under construction)
• They have a nice trap area (I don't shoot trap, but its nice.)

Generally looks like it will be a good Range. Seems pretty well thought out to me.


Generalities (neither good nor Bad)

• Tables Provided
• Target stands are not provided
• No Concrete pads or Decking
• No Overhead cover on Lanes
• It is a private Range (Members+Guests)

When I went out there was only one other shooter (other than Buffalobo and his son), everyone seemed "small town" Nice. The Kinda nice that has no judgment or ego in it.
I found this really refreshing

I am still considering it.. it will take allot of thought to get me to make that trip every time I want to shoot. it took me about 75-80 Minutes one way

I would like to Publicly Thank Buffalobo and his son, as well as Lead Valley Range, for the Hospitality. I only wish I had more time to burn a few rounds at some paper with you guys while I was there.


Oh, And if you go out on a weekend watch for the Ferrari's, Lamborghini's and the Lotus's
;)

Thanks byte.. I spoke to 'ERIC' at their booth and will attend their orientation next Sunday. $150 a year is not bad at all.

Byte, you're very welcome, was a pleasure to meet you and show you around. Hope you can come out again and perforate some paper with us.

One of the primary reasons my family are members. Have belonged to those "other" type clubs/ranges in the past. Always ended up despising the Board of Directors and thier little clique that rule the roost. 2 years to get a decision about whatever issue or request you might have, and so on. Here the range owner is typically on site and will answer questions or give you a decision about whatever comes up right on the spot.

Once hunting seasons are over and I have a little more time to plink, I will try to post ahead of time when we are going out and have room to take guests. Enjoy meeting fellow shooters and promoting the range.

Don't forget about the Pumpkin shoot I posted about above in this thread. It is open to non-members and is alot of fun, also a chance to check out the range, eat some lunch and meet the good folks who frequent the range.


MB888, welcome to the range, even with the drive you will enjoy it.
