Classes in Washington State

My first post but been a lurker here for a bit:) Does anyone know of a good Long Range school in Washington? Idaho or Oregon would work well too. The couple that I have found through searching appear to not be in business anymore

There is also a cat on the form here, Carl Taylor former Marine Scout Sniper that I believe still puts on both matches and classes for LR shooting in the Colville area, I've worked with Carl and he's a tier one instructor. Good luck have fun. Cheers
 
The rattlesnake mountain shooting range west of tri cities about 35miles has NRA hoghpower/f class matches all summer, long range shooting is way more about shooting and seeing the wind effect than classroom time.At a highpower match other shooters will be happy to help you and after each shot the target will be pulled into the pits and a marker will be put in the bullet hole to identify the location of the shot so that every shot you revaluate the wind and either adjust the sight or not then you can see the results of your wind guess. The mirage is in my opinion the best reference to the wind so a typical match would have 80 shots so 80 times you can see the results of your wind guess. At the end of a match you will probably be twice the shooter you were before
Then go back every match, probably once a month for a summer or hopefully longer and at the end of the summer you will have a good idea of what goes on
Spokane also has a range to 600 yds, I shoot at Vale, Oregon every match I can, Nampa, Idaho has matches all summer and I try to get to each one. These are not benchrest matches rifles are either supported by the shooter with a sling allowed or for f class a bipod is allowed
Contact the match directors and tell them what you are doing and they will help you
If I am at Vale or Nampa I will help you

Spokane's public range has steel targets to 1000 yards now.
 
going to rattlesnake mountian tomorrow for the frozen chosin, a kind of nostalgic match be a lot of M1 Garand's ,M14/ M1A's, and some people will probably shoot their sisters rifle, AR15's. standing at 200 yds, rapid fire sitting at 200, rapid fire prone at 300 and slowfire prone at 600. starts at 12:00 noon come by and watch and ask questions and you can learn about long range or better yet bring your rifle, I'll be there, a dinosaur with a smile on my face

Carl doesn't put on matches anymore but if he does classes you should take one. Otherwise Moderndaysniper is the ticket in WA.
