I had just send in my check to join Lead Valley as well but I either didn't get a date for the orientation yet or forgot to put it on my calendar. As luck would have it, about two days after mailing the check, I got a letter from the Aurora Gun Club - it seems I finally bubbled up to the top of their waiting list. So from being a member of no clubs, I'm now in two.

I just went through the AGC orientation last Saturday so now I finally have a place to shoot. The LV range will offer something AGC doesn't, the long distance range, where I'll be able to practice my 300 Wthby and 22-250 for hunting. AGC's longest range is 200 yds. On the other hand the LV range is probably another 20 minutes farther from my house than AGC which is already 25-30 minutes. At this point I'm considering the LV membership as insurance.
