Southwest Washington-Cowlitz Game & Anglers Shooting Range

[vmkeith]

Hey all...during my searches for shooting ranges, I ran across links for the shooting range that's being built by Cowlitz Game & Anglers. Info about the shooting range can be found here >>> http://www.cowlitzgameanglers.com/

Basic info about the range:

Phase 1 to be completed and range open for shooters by Nov 2011.
12 position 300 yard rifle & black powder range
12 position 50 yard pistol range
5 position trap range
8 position archery range
Shooting positions are covered, sound absorbing buildings with downrange baffles.
Current (projected) fees: $70 annual, $7 daily
Location: Castle Rock, Wa; I-5 exit 52; Toutle Park Road
NOTE: There are continued plans for expansion

With all that said, I have a few of questions:

1. Can anybody provide any info for this shooting range, whether a member of the Cowlitz Game & Anglers group or not?

2. Does anybody know the progress of the shooting range...ahead of schedule or behind?

Thanks.

From your linked web page:

This is the first new shooting range in Western Washington in 40 years.

Wow, that's really sad!!

I guess they must be talking about outdoor ranges, though. For example, West Coast Armory comes to mind as a range that's only a couple of years old.

Agreed. Must be outdoor.

WCA in Factoria, Norpoint in Arlington and Champion Arms in Kent are all within 6 years.
