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.
