Not a damn thing. I used to shoot trap and skeet competitively when I was a teen ager. The problem is catering to only one shooting venue when the others are the ones bringing in the $ to the club. I've seen the harrassment first hand. It was derived directly from ignorance of other shooting sports and what is and isn't safe.

Nothing is wrong with trap shooting. I have shot my share of trap, skeet and SC. In fact until the range on base closed I shot 300-500 rounds a week on the different ranges.

However when you look down your Perazzi/Krieghoff nose at all the other shooting sports/games like they do at AGC, we all suffer.

Trap shooters wonder why the average age of a trap shooter is 50+. I dont.

Sound like pussies to me. I couldn't find the one I was looking for where the guy has the sub gun.

So there is an orientation on 1/16. Is this place worth it ?

As a member since July 2008 I think it is very much worth it. The membership dues are low and the owners are great people and easy to deal with. Several private berms are complete, the 50 and 100 yd ranges are complete, 5 station trap is open and 500 yd range is being worked on. Have had 2 Pumpkin shoots(now annual event) and a Top Gun(3 gun) competition. As membership grows plans for more events are planned. One other benefit is that my wife likes it(and therefore participates more) and can bring guests as well.

Everyone should check it out.

+1 especially the wife and guest comment

Glenn is alway avalible to chat or give advice, I find it a relaxed atmosphere and a very enjoyable place to shoot.
Disadvantages:
45 miniutes from Aurora
I can be miserable when the wind is blowing

So is Lead Valley still open for business? I came across them by reviewing the range map on this forum and because their website apparently is not maintained I emailed them a few days back and have not received a response thusfar. I'm wondering if the membership fees are up to date and if you can try out the range as a guest before signing on to a full membership...

The last gun show I was at (2 or 3 Denver tanner shows ago) and saw them hawking memberships,if I recall correctly, they want $195 annual fees plus $100 orientation fee ( one time ). and you have to attend an orientation before being allowed on the range.

Yeah finally got an email response just yesterday. They said the membership fees on the website are up to date. Didn't directly answer if I could shoot as a guest first, but just said I could check the place out on the weekend or week days with a call ahead first.

***Edit***
The response actually said their shotgun range is open to the public on the weekends.
