Where to sight in my rifle?
« on: July 28, 2020, 05:50:17 PM »
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I'm trying to get set up to go out for this bear season and, I cannot find anywhere near me to sight in my rifle (I'm near marysville) any suggestions? All the gun ranges ive called are open to member only right now and I dont have a few hundred dollars to pay for that. Thanks.

A bit of a drive for you but check out Plantation gun range in Whatcom County.  It's owned by the county and is an awesome public gun range.

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

Public land
I've found you have to get there really early if you want the spots appropriate for a rifle.  I got to one spot the other morning at 0600 and had two other groups follow shortly behind.  Did a drive past the other spots after I left and all were full, lots of people driving looking for empty spots at 0700.

Marysville gun club is open to the public on Thursday last time I checked. Plantation in Whatcom County is open to the public with a fee from what I have heard

Sounds like those spots are quite popular and further research is required. I have never had a person or group pull up on any public land area I’ve chosen to use for target practice.
