Title: Rifle Sight-in
Post by: Carl on April 16, 2012, 07:46:16 PM: Where would one sight-in a new .308 rifle this Friday? Anywhere from Bellevue to Snohomish would be ok. :bash:

Obviously, I'm not a member of any club.

Thanks,
Carl

I bet they are still under water. It floods pretty easily there. They also are getting expensive. Last time I was there it was $15.00 to shoot.

Kenmore is a good place especially on a weekday. Gets crowded on weekends.

As of last week, they're still flooded and not open. Personally, I wouldn't piss on Kenmore if it were on fire. Last time I was there I waited over an hour and a half for a seize fire, everyone that was shooting was either standing around waiting to retrieve their targets or had given up and just left...all while the Range Master (and I use that term lightly) stood around with his buddies smoking and drinking coffee. When I approached them about it, they just shrugged me off and went about their business. Never again...

Everett, yeah it's a little run down and it's usually closed from late Fall to early Spring, but there's always a warm fire burning and a few good ol boys ready to share some good stories. I enjoy the place :tup:

The range master there is kinda a odd duck, but the facility is in better shape then Everett or Kenmore. Also, I think at Kenmore if you are not a member you can't shoot till the weekend.

Post by: Holg3107 on April 17, 2012, 12:12:49 PM: Kenmore public range is noon to 7pm on weekdays 9am to 7pm weekends. I just looked and they did raise their prices this year to 12.50 plus $2 per additional rifle. And I do agree that there are better ranges out there from my experience but if its the closest and most convenient it will do the job. I just wish they would open up their longer ranges to the public.
