Surprised I haven't seen it mentioned yet - mine is Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club, located on Seabeck Highway in Bremerton. Just officially joined this morning, as a matter of fact. Shot there several times over the years, but now with more time on my hands, I'll be there weekly, if not more. This mornings range session certainly illustrated the fact that I have more to learn and plenty of room to improve.
Some of the reasons I like KRRC -
They don't have a 'only shoot every three seconds' sort of rule I've seen at other ranges in Western Washington. Some of us are training for self defense, after all.
No limit to magazine capacity. Some of us spent good money on mag fed weapons, and want to practice with said feature, not be relegated to semi-auto single shot weapon. Again, some of us are training for self defense.
No Drill Instructor pretensions. Enough said.
They don't call themselves a 'Sportsmans Club'. My primary reason for owning weapons is for self defense and the defense of my country. The sporting side is, to me, an enjoyable secondary function. The name 'Sportsmans Club' may suit others, but does not embody my view of firearms. My humble opinion.
Lastly, I realized that by supporting my local range, I am supporting an activity and people who share some of my core values, as well. Happy to do it.
