Where you can seriously shoot a shotgun in Puget Sound area?

philster · 05-11-2011, 05:31 PM

Hey, all. First or second post. I'm looking for a place where I can seriously shoot a shotgun. I'm talking paterning Buck and slugs. Kenmore will allow slugs on the rifle range, but no buck. At the trap area paterning up to BB on a special night.

I'm even willing to join a reasonably priced club if that's what it takes. Just don't want to pay $15 at an indoor range everytime I want to check out new loads.

So anyplace that's combat shotgun friendly?

Maybe seattle rifle and pistol association? They are just north of Snohomish in Machias member only club but all outdoor not sure what they allow

Seattle Rifle & Pistol Association

Looks like a great club. Now if only 79 folks quit or passed, I could avoid the 3 year wait time!!!!

I was pretty excited until I hit the membership page. 77 person waiting list for a club with a maximum 300 membership.

Thanks though. I'm getting on the list.

Wow, didn't look that far into it.... Think I will send in my waitlist as well, as I live a mile away

Definitely! $3 for a line of clays is pretty amazing. Add to that you could walk there? Get on that list!

Yeah, well I'm so desperate I'll agree to that. Heck. Bring a baseball bat and I'll do that, "put my forehead on it and spin around 20 times" thing before getting in the car to leave too!

They shoot SG's at the places I go to. But Like what was said above, They are known by many and trashed. But hell, Who doesnt want to shoot a couch or tv? Or shoes, clothes, coffee table...

koorbloh · 05-13-2011, 07:13 AM

^what they said.

my trusted friends rarely get the spots I find ;)

ironmike86 · 06-12-2011, 10:35 AM

Yeah I remember when you could go anywhere and find woods. All the housing around now makes owning rifles /shottys not so fun :(

Tons of shotgun ranges, rifle ranges, pistol ranges and a few "woods"...

Yet to find a range that doesn't have limitations on what you can shoot. Not saying there aren't some, just that I've yet to find them.

Those "limitations" are there because people are funny about picking up spent rounds from their deck or sidewalk. Kenmore is real strict about things like this in order to keep the neighbors from suing them out of existence.

As for the "woods", Take a drive up highway 9. Just south of Big lake there is a "pit".

Oh yeah. I'm aware of Kenmore. They run a tight ship, and do it very well. Their training wing is top notch!

I understand many of the issues, though I'll admit not all of them. I just don't get how, on designated days, in certain spots on just about any range, patterning buck, not spraying it hither and yon, just paterning it, can't be done. Non standard Multi-projectile loads I understand, but quality factory loaded buck?

Thanks for the tip on the where.
