Good guys and they have a decent 3d shoot on Thursdays for $10.00. Theres a real nice walk through range you can shoot anytime for $5 and I've never seen more than 2 other people out there.

Hunting around there can be hard at times, Hancock has pay to access up the White river, the Coal mine has kind of quit giving out access a while back but I'd stop in and ask them especailly for archery and there's some little pockets of timberland that can be accessed. I just saw a buck Sunday near Enumclaw that was probably 120 B/C so there are some pigs laying around here.

The guy in Enumclaw who runs his shop I think is traditional only.
