I'm looking for a rifle range in Snohomish County.
I live in Monore. The closest ones I've found after sifting through the 3 links on the help and links page (yes 1GR I read them) are Everett Sportsmen's Club in Everett and the Kenomre Range in Bothell. Wondering if there are other ranges close to me that aren't on that list and also what your experiences have been at these two places. Thanks |

The Seattle Pistol & Rifle Association has a nice range in Machias, just a few minutes north of Snohomish. And about a 3 year wait for membership.
The Marysville Rifle Club has a pretty decent range at Lake Ki, about 5 minutes west of Smokey Point. And on occassion, the hills are alive with the sound of gunfire. I'd probably give the Everett Sportsmen range off of Homeacres Road the first shot. It's close and I recall the fees being pretty reasonable. |

• Everett Sportsmen's Club in Everett
this range is under water nearly eight month of the year. • Kenmore Range in Bothell this range also has issues; but it works, if you’re a ‘paper punching' bench-shooter type, its adequate. • Norpoint in Marysville I’ve not been to this range, yet. • Seattle Pistol & Rifle Association in Machias I’ve shot at this range a few times; as four times a year they open up the 500 yard range to the General Public for a $5 Fee. • Marysville Rifle Club I’ve not been to this range, yet. |

Those are the 5 I was really looking at. Seattle Pistol & Rifle Association in Machias is the closest to me but I read the private club, 3 year wait stuff on their site. I didn't realize they opened up for the public. The Marysville Range look slike a private one too. Though I'm not sure. Everett Sportsmen's Club in Everett is under water nearly eight month of the year. I wondered about that looking at the satellite pic. 
I was looking mostly for a place to sight in rifles at known ranges, which is why I was looking for benches. I shoot in my back yard, but don't have a good rifle backstop yet. Thanks! |

It's a little drive down the valley, but there is SVRC.. Goes out to 200 yards. I'm not a member but I go there occasionally with a buddy. |

Norpoint in Marysville. I saw them up there, do they have benches for the rifle lanes? What range are the rifle lanes? I have not used their rifle lanes, I just know they have them and I have heard good things. I enjoyed shooting there the couple of times that I have been. Might be worth a phone call, they are nice people. Link |

I used to be a member at Marysville. Nice range out to 200 yds. It has a slight Fudd streak though. When I move back, I'll be joining Cascade. It's a bit of a drive from Monroe but their rifle range goes out to 600 yds. Looks like Cascade is about an hour from Monroe and the facility looks really nice. I may have to keep that in the back of my mind for later. Are they AR friendly? (Not talking mag dumps)

Might be worth a phone call, they are nice people. Link Norpoint does not have dedicated rifle lanes, but you can shoot center fire rifle in their 25 yard pistol lanes. They've let me pattern a shotgun as well. Nice people, but freezing cold wind tunnel lanes and bouncy targets. $15 for pistol or $20 if you bring a long gun. ETA: No benches |
