Where do you shoot?

[509er]

I shoot at the range just outside of Ephrata.

I used to shoot at the Pe Ell range, its a nice range. The reason I stopped going down there is, it takes an hour 45 min. drive from here, the range is closed to many of the weekend days for comp. shoots, and I had a little run in with some members that weren't being very safe and took offence to me pointing it out.

In Capitol forest I set up and shoot on a closed road that ends at the base of a hill. I park at the gate and carry my gear around it. It's only flat for 200 yards but I only shoot at 100 here. I've driven a lot of miles in Capitol Forest and I haven't found any place to shoot longer ranges, there's just too many roads and ATV trails.
Here's some closer pictures of the old trestle that can be seen in one of the other pictures.

Back yard and neighbor's pasture.  I can get a little over 540 yds.

[madmack76]

Wow, that trestle is cool. Ever walk across it? 

For 100yd plinking close to the house, we go to the range on Ebey Island east of Everett off Hwy 2. We sometimes drive up to my Dad's place in Concrete. There is a dead end road that ends in a gravel pit with a high bank. The road in is strait, so you can choose your range. We use the range finder to find our mark, then set up our table. For pistols I'm going to start going to Norpoint in Arlington. Been up there and checked it out, but never shot there.

Spot up by Concrete. My 7yr old checking her target. That lil turd is a damn good shot. 


This was her target @100yds with a Remington .22

Waitsburg Gun Club.  Targets only go out to 300 yds though.  I think I am going to join the Milton Freewater club this year for some longer shooting.

[GoldTip]

Either in the woods in N. Idaho near where I hunt, or I go to the Gun range out at Mica.

I crossed the trestle a couple of times as a kid but I started out across it a couple of years ago, my legs started to get alittle shaky a few hundred feet off the ground so I turned back.

[jeepasaurusrex]

Cant say I blame ya. 

[Mookie]

nice public land about 15 minute from my house. No hiking to set up and have about 300 yards straight to shoot. Another place about 30 minutes I can get almost 600 yards, about 45 minutes I can get 1,000. I am just glad they are not well known as we had a really nice place shut down because of littering.

I thought I had pictures but can't find them.

Front yard I have a 100yard target"bunker" set up along with a 3D and some archery bales, then I can extend out to about 600 if needed up the gut.

[Tony 270WSM]

Combo of the local range, but its only 100 yards, and out on state land. Haven't found a good area out here yet, but keep hearing about Simmons Road or Simmons Field that is supposed to be used a lot.

[BigGoonTuna]

i found a decent spot out in capital forest a few months back.  you wind your way into the woods about 1/2 mile on a logging road and it dead ends on a ridge with a 180* clearcut.  you can see part of highway 8 way down below off to the right, but off to the left is a big hill, perfectly safe to shoot at.  i mostly shoot clay pigeons there, but i think(i'm a horrible distance judge) there's at least 200-300 yards you could shoot at, if you felt like tromping through the wild blackberries(i might have to go see if they're ripe yet, there's a ton there).

closer to the highway there's a blocked off old skid road, it's a good short range target practice area.  there are 3 markers from the tank trap that blocks it, 50,  75 and 100 yards.  there's an old stump at around 150-200 yards that i've seen targets tacked to also.  only problem with that is that people always leave their junk there.  i usually pick up a grocery bag worth of spent shells and other junk every time i go there   still nowhere near as bad as that pit off waddell creek rd though

[Straight Shooter]

Spokane Rifle Club, but it's getting too pricey and a bit of a drive from the West Plains.  Gotta find some safe state land nearby.
