Title: Where to shoot to distance near Wenatchee
Post by: AK2WA on July 26, 2023, 11:53:27 AM: Just relocated to the Wenatchee area and was wondering if anyone knew of any areas folks practice out past 300 yards? Seems like the local range is just to 100 and I’m trying to practice beyond that. Willing to drive up to an hour or two.

Cheers

Being aware of fire danger too.

This is true but only to 300 till October. After fire season the steel is out to 1000. Make sure to sign your waiver.
