My paycheck got lost and I've been sitting here at home on my weekend when I should be /out/ shooting. Anyone going innawoods today?

>>30740553

Hiking up past Snoqualmie Pass tomorrow. Will be carrying my Les Baer, but not actually shooting.

>>30740588
Nice, Pacific crest trail?

>>30740600

Wherever the lady wants to go. We have not discussed it yet. She wants to go behind lake keechelus. The Iron Horse trail goes back there. I have been there for work at 2am on the back of a snowmobile and by aircraft, but never recreational on foot.

>>30740553
I did the previous two weekends in Olympic National Forest. Today is range day.

>>30740680
>range day
Take me with you

>>30740665
What type of work gets you there at 2a.m.

>>30740753

The kind that involves rescuing people.

>>30740759
Sweet. What's the craziest rescue you've been part of?

>>30740774

Not really a "rescue" but an "extraction" from an unstable scene. Mom gave birth to a child somewhere in the cascades in a snow storm with no road access and there were complications. Had to deal with complications on scene, package both of them up after stabilizing and use a polaris ATV with tracks to get them out.

How do you carry your rifle when you're backpacking? I don't want to sling it front because that just looks weird, but putting it on the pack it seems like the weight would throw your pack off balance.

>>30740789
Damn. Did they live? Did you see the birth? Imagining that kid will pretty cool among his friends as he grows up " i was born in the wild up high in the mountains and raised by wolves ".

This seems like as good a time as any to ask.

What are the rules about hiking around with a rifle?

I did it once up near skykomish on FSL but was nervous I was gonna get in trouble (gay I know) or shot by some trigger happy nutso

>>30740530
10 am on 7/30 at lowside gravel pit in Capitol Forest. Birthday shoot.

Anyone know any good places to shoot in the Tri Cities area? I dont want to go to a range.

here again. I blessed Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club with the dulcet tones of muh nugget. First time at the range with it, and two boxes fired with only one 2x4 bolt release needed. Pic related is my groups at 100 yards, half standing half bench rest. Yes it sucks but I literally Disney know how to load the thing right when I woke up this morning.

Texasfag who pretty much wanted to live in your state after I lived in Germany.

Don't want to get too much into that story but basically I want to live there. I hate living in the desert. I would want to live somewhere green, somewhere where I can enjoy the great outdoors. Not on no plain bullshit with no moutains or shit. Thus came your state and pretty much the region there. It just how I want it to be and I feel my life would improve, even if I fuck it up a bit. I want to live up there.

So how is it for a transplant up there? How is the gun laws down here comparable to yours up there? We have the same tax system so that doesn't bother me.

>pic related is a bonus you guys seemed to gain after I wanted to move up there.

>>30743603
Transplant from Chicago here. It's very welcoming to noobs like you and I. Stay within commuting distance of Seattle if you want a decent paying job.

>>30743603
>Not wanting to go to Montana

Kinda dead but Texasfag again

How the offroading in yourstate? Are some of the better shooting spots out where you need to have a 4x4. Also can you shot anywhere that looks safe?

In my city they just tell people to go way out into the desert and make sure you are not by buildings.

Also, who getting ready to hunt some mulies?

>>30744243
Shooting is pretty open depending on the area. If you're gonna go out on your 4x4 don't be an asshole and tear up logging roads. My poor little civic is like a fucking ninja dodging all the potholes made by idiots revving.

>>30743603

Tacoma is cheaper than Seattle. Can commute to Seattle if needed. It is redder than Seattle and King County in general. Just stay away from Lakewood and you'll do fine.

Bonus is Point Defiance Park and can drive to Mount St. Helens or Mount Rainier.

>>30744320
Said it earlier, engineering

>>30744537
That sounds god and I know what you mean. I have to deal with trails where more then half the trail is fucked up with a giant mud pit or some one ditch a car way out in the desert.

>>30744551
Yeah I really do enjoy living near moutains. One thing that I really want to keep in my life constant.

>Redder than Seattle
Nigger what? Tac town is the exact same as Seattle. But with more niggers and poorfags. It's almost more blue because of the amount of people on section 8 that live there.

>>30745201

Figuratively speaking. More purplish because of JBLM and Pierce County.

Walla Walla county reporting.

Is the triangle pit in the capitol forest still open?

>>30740665
Biked the iron horse once before they closed the tunnel

To Texasanon:
The commute isn't worth it, just move to Seattle or somewhere just North/South of it, like Tukwila or Renton

Trust me, I5 is the hell highway

Any experienced Seattle-area people know a good place to shoot outdoors? Kenmore is the only outdoor range I can find and it seems like Fudd central.

>>30746439
Depends, are you a faggot? Do you feel the need to tell every living soul about a shooting spot so they can send all their little codkiddy friends up there and get them shut down?
Find your own spots to shoot, like pioneer square. Do the city a favor.

Don't forget to clear out rainier valley and most of taccoma... maybe little somalia near the airport too.

I'm done giving out spots on this board, I gave out one spot on this board one time and the dude proceeded to tell every fucking person in every WA thread for the next two years. What was a local spot with no issues, now has police patrols and rangers ticketing people for not having a discover pass. Literally fucking unheard of until I opened my mouth.

>>30746656

If you can commute via Sounder, Link, pedestrian ferry, or commuter buses (they get their own lanes north of the tunnel bus stations) the workable distance is much longer.

Evening niggers, vancouver reporting

>>30746884
Are you near Leavenworth?

>>30746439
Just find an area with logging roads and check it out on sat view. If you see a big clearing in the middle of the forest go check it out. I have found a few pretty awesome spots this way.

>>30747367

Wow. This. As have I.

Some friends and I are doing a trip stopping in Leavenworth and Spokane, are there any good ranges (preferably that will rent) between those areas?

So question. Me (age 20) and my friends (also age 20) and my dad (age 50 fudd) are going to the range this Tuesday down in federal way. To my understanding so long as he is there its cool. But the kicker is one of my friends is a 1st gen immigrant who is here for school so I an wondering if that is going to cause us any issues.

I used to live in Lakehood when I was stationed at Lewis. Schooners and the vfw were the only two places to drink and not get shot.

I don't because there is a nonzero probability of my having to get out of the car quickly and stomp on something or someone.

Anon, you have no idea the jobs you'll have here. I'm not totally certain why, but in the past few years Silicon Valley has gotten sick of California and moved up here. Microsoft and Amazon come to mind first, but I'm sure there's a dozen more, smaller companies too.

What a shit thread this turned out to be

>>30740530
Are BC fags allowed? I feel like there are hardly enough of us to make our own BC thread.

>>30755447
Yes...unless you are from Surrey

I have a strong feeling we're going to be the next Massachusetts, Connecticut, Cali, etc.

If that's the case, back to AZ I go.

>>30755498
Nope, from Vancouver born and bred. Shame though because this place is filled with libtards and sjw's.

>>30755521
>I have a strong feeling we're going to be the next Massachusetts, Connecticut, Cali, etc.
All the Massholes and Californiggers are fleeing their states and think Washington is nice. We need to get people advocating for Constitutional carry and legal SBSes this year so we have a strong negotiating position before they arrive.

>>30755543
Yes, but that would mean that people who want this would have to vote, but they'd rather just bitch about king county

>>30740789
>Mom gave birth to a child somewhere in the cascades
The fuck was she thinking?

>>30742674
Open carry is legal, you can't shoot recreationally in national parks but you can carry any way you can legally in the rest of the state.
Some areas are closed to target shooting such Tinkham.
If you simply want to hike with a rifle there is absolutely no problem with that. Just don't be shocked if people give you a strange room and park service should you encounter them will probably ask you what's up.

>>30743731
there are great places for engineers in the eastern part of the state as well, Tri cities has a shit ton of engineers working for gov contractors, engineering firms and the DOE there is also a large engineering and fab conpany up near spokane but I forget its name.

>>30746847
no full auto or sbs but suppressors and sbrs are ok in WA

>>30757003
I've seen guys with suppressed .22lr pistols at the range. It's amazing how quiet the damn things are compared to an AR or a nugget.

>>30751527
Yeah and the only reason you don't get shot there is because you get stabbed. The shamrock tavern in parkland right off 512 is the best bar around. It closed earlier this year but I hear old Dave is opening her back up.

Dude, my dad* has 5 jobs he works making software and integrating them because there are so many jobs to choose from. You'd literally have millions the first 5 years you live here if you take up as many jobs as you can handle.

*he's not my real dad, but I knew him since I was born nd I'm over at their house with my brother/friend almost every day

Seriously, he's so rich he just recently bought one of the most expensive trailers on the market and their whole family is living in it because they can. Just because they can. It cost him $2.5m for everything. And all he does is sit at home and make and integrate software.

Do it, man.

>>30750815

Your friend is a foreign student with a valid visa? Call them first. I know the range in Tacoma (near T-Dome) will occasionally have foreign students shooting there with oversight from citizens. Call them also about that.

Handguns and shotguns only I'm afraid.

>>30755683
>you can't shoot recreationally in national parks
are you sure? on olympic np's website it says that its allowed to shoot under certain rules

>>30753739

sounds sick, but I'd wan't to look at WA myself before deciding to move there, but I can't do that currently because of money (im a student). also I'd have to finish my studies first, so it will take several years from now (greencard aswell)

>>30760625
National parks are a big no no for shooting usually (some will not even allow doggos) National Forests on the other hand allow and have pretty lax rules for shooting. Remember 150ft rule and dont shoot live trees.

I don't know where you got uninhabited out of my post. I take it that it was simply their residence then? If so my mistake, when I saw "somewhere in the cascades" and no roads I assumed innawoods, not some recluse homesteaders. In either case the sentiment still kinda stands though I guess.
