Tacoma sportsman has a hunter friendly 600yd match the 3rd Sunday every month though. I really like going when I have time. One time I shot a 6.5-300 for fun.

Nice! I am never afraid of a drive. It's only an hour and a half about. Hit traffic right not even that. I have a membership at Cascade rifle and pistol as well. They have a 600yd range but only for the qualified. Super nice place. I shot a 600yd match at Tacoma a few years ago and it was super fun! I run a 300win for over 1k and I have a bad to the bone 5.56 for below that as my trainer.

Would be good to have someone to shoot long range with. I run down to pe ell a lot. Everything long range local is snow pack

Thank you all again for the welcome! Rhovee, we should shoot together soon. I haven't qualified for 600 yet as I just got my membership last may. Haven't had the time unfortunately. Be nice to get out there with another member to help show me the ropes.

I shot at Cascade a bunch 10-15 years ago. Anymore, I head for the hills above Greenwater and shoot up there.
Interested in the Tacoma Sportsman's match though, I'm not too far from there.

I think sign up is around 8am. $20 and I think $5 for additional. I've been trying to force a new build to liking 230 a-tips for the match but it's been giving me fits. I have a little 22 creed that always places I can shoot but it's pretty boring. If you decide to try it let me know and I'll be there with something. They have information on they're website

I love shooting small(ish) hunting rigs in LR type matches. Thinking I may run down and check it out next Sunday.
Thanks for the info, I'll shoot you a PM if I'm headed that way.

It's definitely an eye opener for a lot of guys. First time I shot it was with the pencil barrel weatherby vanguard, no brake 6.5-300, factory 130's and just held over with the box velocity. That was awesome. Was before the hunter friendly rate of fire so groups spread but still pretty good considering I had no clue where I was hitting
