I see this area is empty still.

No shooting events in this state? Any local (Snohomish County) interest in here for one?

We have a chunk of property and no close neighbors. Currently I have a 51yd and a 106yd range set up and was thinking about making some field targets for the yard. We are pretty far out near Whitehorse Mountain. (near Darrington) but it's a nice scenic drive.

Let me know if any of you are interested. Maybe we could put something together..

Very good layout for setting up a shoot Joel! I know exactly where you are, but now I live about 3,000mi away, so it's a long way from the Everett ferry now

There' members that are not far from the I-5 corridor area, and also over on the OP; so I'd bet if you announce one, you'll get some interest.

I would be interested. I live in Seattle and I'm fairly new to airgunning and would like to help and learn more.

Hey, sent you a PM. Sure would be nice to get together with others here in Western WA

joel w · « **Reply #4 on:** September 04, 2013, 07:46:37 PM »

Yes, this sounds good to me. Need to run some of this past the wife but she is easy going so no worries here.

Glad there is some interest.

I am waiting on a few parts to come in so I can put this .22 together and get it running good. In the mean time, I can try and put some targets together and work on the yard a bit (tall field grass).. I am very new to FT and pcp's so I only have a hand pump. I have looked at some of the targets used and think I can come up with a few. Time to study up on FT.

Hey guys, I am from seattle and new to the airgun community. I was wondering are there any 10m rifle matches happening in our area ? I did a quick google and didn't find anything.

The kenmore range up north has seasonal airgun league that takes place only in the month of April

There is a group that shoots benchrest and field target down around Tacoma, don't know how far that is from you folks. Here's the url;

Hi all!

I currently live in Everett and drive to Oso to shoot at a friends property with a sweet set-up for airguns and plenty of room for company. And yes it's a scenic drive indeed! I will present him with with this idea before I go further.

I am interested in meeting other enthusiasts and the exchange of information that results. I can offer many steel targets, laser range finder, air and chrony to to the mix for others to use and am willing to help in any effort help to learn from others and to improve locations.

I know it's been half a year since the OP but it's worth doing! An open ended informal meet and greet would be a great start to organize something more.

I hope your friends in Oso are ok. We are alive! We are 2 miles east (upstream) of this landslide and it is a disaster like I have not seen before except May 18th, 1980. So sad, so few survivors...

Bullit · « **Reply #10 on:** March 29, 2014, 04:10:18 PM »

My prayers to your neighbors Joel. I was there for the Mt St Helens incident, and ole' Harry is never forgotten. It is truly a shame for a small group of folks.

Thank you Sir! I drove through the slide area about an hour before it let loose, so I feel very lucky. With 17 dead, 90 still missing and 45 homes just gone, it is very devastating for this small area. We may still have to evacuate our house if the river starts backing up much further and with more rain in the forecast, it's not looking good. No telling when the road will open and it's a 200 mile (4hr) round trip to work now through Rockport. Life goes on...

I just found this gate DUH

Joel hope you are OK
I would be interested in an informal shoot and greet, airguns not allowed in my neighborhood

Thanks, we are doing ok here. We are 80ft in elevation upstream (3 miles) from the slide so not in any danger of flooding. Unfortunately, hwy 530 probably will not be open up until September (WSDOT's best guess) and the only real way around is hwy 20 (100 extra miles each way) for now. It sounds like the search for the last 2 people missing is coming to an end soon. Then they can work on finding the road more effectively.

F7FTIGERCAT · « **Reply #14 on:** April 25, 2014, 07:34:32 PM »

Glad you are going to be Ok
I have spent some time up your way and on 20, the south Skagit and Concrete
We usually take at least one motorcycle ride up there every year. Birdview for a burger yumm

My friend's ok as his property is a mile below the slide site and still has easy access. A few hours after the slide (while the river was still blocked) evacuation was recommended and I did so. Luckily the river cut through sooner rather than later or it could have been worse.

We had the range set up on the upper field 200 yards away from the house so his 14 year old dog wouldn't get too excited by the activity. Heck, archery would set her off! She liked it all a bit too much and would wear herself out in her enthusiasm. She has past now and the 100 yard range is now set up off the back porch which is a bit too tight for a gathering.

We are looking to build a site on the lower field in a very beautiful and natural setting away from the house that is much more suitable and I hope to complete it in a month or two. Then permission will be granted for invitations! Gotta get busy...

Looking forward to meeting other enthusiasts in the area

Edit: Hmm… don't know how this happened. Cannot see a way to delete.

Paper Tiger · « **Reply #18 on:** May 21, 2014, 10:48:09 AM »

I live in Seattle and would be very interested in an airgun shooting gathering. And if you need some help building the site, I could help too.

CoryWM · « **Reply #19 on:** June 20, 2014, 12:59:42 AM »

I like in Smokey Point. I'd be up for a meet some day too. I'm brand new to the hobby. Have my own R7 arriving soon after shooting a friends.
