ETAThere are monthly practical/precision rifle matches at Upper Nisqually Sportsman's club on the first Saturday of each month. They shoot on various steel targets out to 600 yards from field type positions similar to the precision rifle series matches. Bolt guns, and gas guns are welcome. The only restrictions are no ferrous content in any bullets, no magnums, no velocity over 3150 fps. They use props like parapets, doghouse, roof tops, platforms, tank traps, a number of different types of barricades, and from all sorts of positions. It is a pretty laid back crowd, and not overly competitive. Most guys who shoot there are there to try and improve their skill, and they use the matches as practice for other matches. The hyper competitive types who won't help anyone else out rarely show up. New shooters even get to use a spotter to help them get settled.

I think they send out announcements about the matches if you send an email asking to be added onto their mailing list.. [email protected]. There is also a PRS group on Facebook, and a northwest precision shooters group on Facebook. If you aren't a Facebook fan, it isn't all that hard to use a nom de plume (pen name) on Facebook...that way you can get information about groups without posting a bunch of personal information.
I've met two other members at Tacoma Sportsman Club here recently....lost track of others over the years. That steel match sounds like fun. I'll be checking that out
While I am not available in the immediate future, I’m certainly interested in linking up some time and shooting. I am in the Tacoma area. I do most of my shooting on JBLM, but run my own SAKO TRG .308 when i can. I’d also be willing to talk shop with any other snipers in the area.
Welcome aboard. You should come shoot the matches at UNSC with us. Several or the top shooters are active duty Mil and it's a good place to sharpen your skills. See the post above to get instructions for the mailing list.
Not much prs type activity that I know of locally. There’s a monthly club match at sun valley shooting park over by Yakima / Moxee and I just saw a match posted Nov 8th down by prosser.
Im planning on heading over to Moxee as much as I can next year.
I don’t know if upper Nisqually has started up again.
I’m always willing to go out on public lands and get some practice also.
Calendar
For more information on a specific event on a particular day, click on the even inside the calendar. Each event should have information on which range(s) is being used, which range(s) may shut-down for safety as a result, etc. Very few activities shut down the *entire*…

Looks like an NRA style shoot at 600
There’s a gravel pit out by lake cushman that’s good for short range pistol / rifle.
A few spots out here by Tahuya also but I’m not as familiar with them.
DNR land is open as long as there isn’t extreme fire danger. You just need to be aware of the situation in the summer. No shooting from or across roads and as always make sure you have a safe backdrop.
