Hello there



Well this is what a lot of you have been waiting for. The new range that we have been talking about for the last few years is called Lead Valley Range and it is located just east of Byers Co. on highway US 36. We have set the opening for February 20th or soon after. If you have not seen what we have planed you can do so by going to our web site www.leadvalleyrange.com to see the plans. When the range is completed there will be 12 privet berms, a 50 yard range, 100 yard range, 500 yard range, 7 Trap fields, 2 Five Stands and a 24 station Sporting Clays range. This is a three year project. We will open with only the 50 yard and 1 of the privet berms. This is why we will be offering the reduced rate on the memberships that are listed on the schedule.

Below you will find the dues schedule that we have been talking about. Also below you will find the club rules. When you look at the dues schedule you will notice that the price changes at regular intervals. The way that this offering is going to work is that on January 16th at 7:00pm memberships will go on sale. All registration will be done by E-mail so it will be first come first serve. We will only take E-mails that arrive on or after 7:00pm Tuesday January 16th. The date and time stamp on your E-mail will be your place on the schedule. Any E-mails received before 7:00pm start time will not be accepted. I will confirm receipt of all E-mails and let you know where you stand on the schedule and what your dues will be. At that time you will have two weeks to send your check to us or loose you place.

Also all dues will become due on anniversary date of your membership. For those of you who will take advantage of this early offering, your renewal membership will come due on the day before the range opens in 2008.

Just to inform you that we will be at the Sportsmen’s Show down at the convention center on the last weekend of this month selling memberships. So if you wait to long to join your place may change at that time.

Send your E-mail to membership@leadvalleyrange.com to register for the range on the 16th. You should mail your check to Lead Valley Range at 14120 E. Temple Dr. Y-12, Aurora Co. 80015 Attn: Cheryl. If you have



Stay on Target

I just got an email from my stopping by thier booth at one of the gunshows. They are now accepting memberships with significant discounts for the first five years according to a schedule they will send you. I'm in the fourth or fifth group of 25 to sign up and my initiation will be $35 plus $80 for the first year's dues. The yearly dues will go up yearly until they stabilize at around $150 according to the schedule they sent me. I figured it was worth it to get in on the ground floor since I've been on waiting lists for at least two other clubs for a few years now.

Of course, no soon had I sent off my check then I got a letter from Aurora Gun Club with the news that I finally bubbled to the top of the list. So from being a member of no club, I'm now a member of two clubs. I figure I'll see which one will suit my needs and desires better after the end of the first year and let the other one go.

Is that Lead Valley Range any good. I found some bad reviews about it. How far away from Denver they are located?

I send them an email and I will try to attend the new members orietation Sunday 10 AM.

I will let you know how it went.

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

Sounds like a direct copy of the Ben Lomond range, to compete with it and draw members away. I love the BLGC range, and it's far more convenient to me in Parker than the Byers range would be. But the Byers range would be easier for Denver folks to just drive straight out I-70 to get to.

I have to go out that way on business once in awhile, I wonder if they'll offer day or hourly rates? Probably not, I don't imagine it'll be a manned range.

I would get a membership at both and hold on to both. AGC, IMO, has a very limited future. The Traps range might survive, but metallic cartridge shooting out there will eventually go the way of the dodo. It's being taken over by city expansion, and eventually they will lose the battle to keep it open.

Rondog, this is similar to BLGC, but this range lay out is better IMO. That being said, I also agree with Kelly. I've heard a lot about this range over the last 5 years and still have yet to see significant action towards getting the range built.

BLGC is closer to me, so I probably won't ever pursue a membership at this range. If I was in the Denver Metro area, I would. Even if you get a low rate membership, and the range dies you are not out very much money. If you get a membership now and Aurora dies it's eventual death, you may have very well saved yourself a 10+ year wait for a membership to the nearest range. There will be stampede to this range at the first signs of AGC's eventual downfall. The next nearest range of any substance is in Dumont, and they have a waiting list. Your choice is to roll the dice or take a small financial investment risk.

I am all for this range making it, and I hope they stick with the forecasted range lay out. It looks like a kick ass layout, expecially for us USPSA shooters. The one thing I would recommend to them is to cut one or two of the small berms out of the picture and add the space to the rest of the berms, making them wider.

Lastly, may none of the current AGC board members NEVER get any control in this new range. They are ignorant to any form of advanced firearms shooting, and would rather cower in a corner and cater to trap shooters than support the only shooting bringing in money (and influential shooters) to their current club.
