Hi there,
I hope this is the right place to post this.
I am looking for a outdoor shooting range in WA, most preferred in the dryer eastern area (Richland, TriCities etc).
The range should be a for-profit organisation and long distance rifles should be allowed. Also it should be as far as possible out in the wild.

Any tips? I had a look at some posts and all the large outdoor ranges seem to be non-profit organisations.

Thanks very much!

Hi Axel,

You have a very good long distance range nearby, the website is http://www.tcsa.info. $5 to sign in as a guest. Website will tell you times and days open. Membership is very reasonable and you get to meet a lot of great people. They have a long range high power rifle range up to 1000 yds, pistol & shotgun, ranges. Good facilities, helpful people. I drive 30 miles to go and shoot there.

Hi there,
thanks for all the replies!
@ rodrob: this is exactly the range I had in mind. Looks awesome and would be perfect. But this is a non-profit range and I may not book it for commercial reasons without risking that the range looses it status as a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization - at least this is what they say. Too bad really!
@dsolie: thanks for the map! I had a look into it already. Most of the ranges don't have a website or so and it is kind of difficult for me from overseas to decide if it would suit my needs. Probably I will try to contact each of them manually and see what that brings.

Any other personal experience with ranges would be very appreciated.
Thanks again guys for your thoughts and help!

You can also look for ranges that have 501c7 status. That's what my old club back east has. They rented out for commercial and non-commercial ventures all the time. For (commercial - paid for) education, for police and armed guard/security training, for TV shows to shoot at (Time Warp), for competitions, etc. There were even some dog-training businesses that rented out the clubhouse and a field a few times a month.

Thats too bad TCSA won't fit your needs, I'm an RO there and it is a very nice range to shoot at.

If you don't mind me asking, what is it you are trying to have at the range?
