Title: Wenatchee shooting options
Post by: crabcreekhunter on July 15, 2015, 08:01:36 PM: Moved to wenatchee between hunting seasons and not able to get back to the family ranch often enough to get comfortable trigger time regularly, so looking for a place close to wenatchee for high powered rifles. I know I can head in the hills on the weekends but would like a place I can head to after work. Looking at NCW range (?) by the super oval, any experiences? Need to fireform quite a few rounds and finalize some load data. Open to suggestions or if anyone in the area wants to do some shooting, thanks in advance!

I personally belong to and like the gun range up on Fancher. The only crappy part is their membership year runs sept. to sept. so if you bought a membership now you would pay full price for 3 months. They have pistol, shotgun and rifle ranges. All in all it is a pretty nice range. Middle of the week the range is dead which is awesome.

Unless I am shooting a competition, league, trap, or skeet, I wouldn't pay to shoot at a range. I have found a couple prime spots to shoot out past 1000 yds and there is nothing to take more of my already short time. Just my .02
