I'd definitely be down for something in February (too many classes I gotta take in January).

I may be able to get a place to shoot for a small fee. Do you guys prefer indoor (Bellevue/Issaquah) or outdoor (Ravensdale)?
What type of time frame are you thinking of, all day or an evening? Week days generally work best for me.
My schedule is pretty tight, but I will see what I can come up with and post a few options.
Thanks,

Well, my backyard is the National Forest so.... yes you can shoot in it.
But seriously. I have an idea for a spot. it meets all your requirements and is free.
do tell! coordinates would be goodQuote:

I'm down for a pit training event. Eventually, the 3 hour drive to Portland gets tiring, hahaha.
I've shot a fair amount at the pit near Snoqualmie, and I've got no problem being diplomatic with other shooters. As long as you bring spray paint, strings, and a fair dose of courtesy when establishing general expectations (cold range rules, lanes of fire) it shouldn't be a big deal in the event others want to share a pit.
But ideally, if someone knows of a flatter pit that isn't quite as popular... This pit, being near Snoqualmie, is 1 hour away from Seattle via I-90, and is near popular camping/shooting areas. It is well out of the "no target shooting corridor" put in place this past year luckily.

As for a what we could actually do, busting out a copy of "green eyes black rifle" and setting up one of the standard drills would be easy enough.
Having people help tape and maybe run a shot timer (other than the one on my iPhone) would be cool too.
We can use the Ravensdale range (Cascade Pistol and Rifle Club) for free. It is 200 yards and we would have the range all to ourselves. There are already target stands. I can bring steel for distance shooting (100 yards+).
If you prefer indoors, then the cost will probably be around $15 to $20 per person depending on how many people come. There is an hourly fee to use the range, we will just split it amongst the people that show up.
Again, let me know.
I have been to Cascade club, and it is a very nice place. Could we use the pistol and shotgun ranges as well? If I remember right, there was a side range that had cover and looked like it was designed for shoot and move drills.Quote:
