Hiya Mari. Welcome. Whatcha shooting?



You know, my first gun was a 9mm Taurus and I always had pretty good luck with that. I used to mostly prefer revolvers or trap but I've warmed up to the AR15 the last couple of years. What about you?

I was thinking about checking out Marckworth Forest. Do you have any recommendations?

I have been cautious about welcoming lately...

Welcome Mari! And you picked a hockey fanatic so I'm going to guess you have good sense. Super! :cheers2:



I like to think so. :cheers2:

Welcome to the site Amy! Kenmore is a great place to shoot trap and practice slow accurate rifle shooting, but their rules can be a bit restrictive. Also the pistol range is fixed 25 yds (75 feet) which is a bit challenging even for the most experienced pistol shooters. Take Benja up on that visit to Interlake, it's a very nice little spot nestled away on the east side of Kirkland. Also in the north end area is WCA (West Coast Armory) North. Great place to practice pistol shooting. They have target trolleys so you can choose your distance out to 25yds or as close as 5ft. The people there are also very friendly.

Good to have you aboard! It's nice having women posting on the site. Gives us guys a different perspective on issues and keeps the echo chamber effect down.

Welcome to WaGuns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back to Washington.

Good to have another lady shooter on the board.

Check with REI or maybe the library, for guides on hikes in the area.

Thank you! 25 yards is admittedly a bit much for me. I'm definitely up for the visit and I'll check out WCA too.
