    I find that LML gun clubs are committing collective suicide.
    There isn't one, that's doing a good job of attracting new members, keeping them interested.
    Half of them are in danger of being shut down due to noise complaints and the other ones seem to be retirement clubs.
    Abbotsford Fish & Game is an awesome club. They routinely have a waiting list for new members.....

    Jmpell I am on the wait list. Sounds like May before I hear anything. I understand it is a great club.

    Now that is posted, I can tell you that Chilliwack hasn't capped Membership (YET...), has a nice 230m range, 5 limited distance bays, archery, active IDPA, Tac Rifle, Speed Steel and Trap Sections.

    New members are welcome and will have lots of fun provided they are responsible and mature. No range Nazis, but users are expected to CLEAN UP after themselves. Not terribly expensive either.

    Heading out to Eagle Lake (ELGC) Ont. tomorrow for orientation/safety course.
    Have heard only good mention of this club from anyone I've talked to, so am very grateful for the opportunity to become a member.
    Another nearby (<5 minute drive) club has 45 day wait period before they will even look at an application for membership. Also considerably more $$$, and have heard from several people (former members) that it is not a newbie friendly environment.

    My range is great. Simple rules, don't be a d##k and follow provincial rules and regulations. We have a pistol range rifle range and a area for skeet. 60 dollars a year you get a key to the gate and no visitors fee. Sometimes the RCMP will sit at the end of the range road and give you the stink eye but never seem to bother people.

    Wait list is always available. I got mine within 6 months, which I will not be renewing this year as I'm going back east for next couple years.
