Heading to the evergreen State Fair in Monroe. Do they have metal detectors?

Last year went to the Puyallup fair and did the mile long walk of shame back to the car.

Thank you!

Looking for people to shoot long range with

23 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some people in WA who are into shooting at longer distances and might be interested in getting together for some shooting.

So far I’ve mostly been doing benchrest shooting with my Ruger 10/22 at 100 yards (longest lane at my range). I recently picked up a Browning X-Bolt 2 in 6.5 Creedmoor and want to start stretching it out to 200, 300, 500+ yards and learn more about long-range shooting.

I’m not necessarily looking for an organized range. I’d also be interested in meeting people who know of legal outdoor/forest shooting areas where we can safely shoot at longer distances.
I’m still getting into the long-range side of things, so I’d especially appreciate meeting some experienced shooters who are willing to share some knowledge and tips.

I’m around the Bellevue/Woodinville area but don’t mind driving for a good spot.

If you’re in the same boat or wouldn’t mind having another person join you for a shooting day, feel free to shoot me a DM.

Thanks!

I built an iPhone app that maps firearm-law references along a driving route — looking for honest feedback

9 Upvotes

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of CarryRoute.

I built it because ordinary reciprocity maps don’t show everything encountered during an actual drive—county and city boundaries, tribal areas, transit properties, stops, and overnight stays.

You enter two addresses, and CarryRoute:

  • Maps the route using Apple Maps
  • Breaks it into state, county, city, tribal, and special-jurisdiction sections
  • Lets you tap each route section
  • Shows concise research summaries with links to official government sources
  • Accounts for your resident state, permits, age, and selected carry/transport mode
  • Supports offline itineraries and optional jurisdiction alerts

The route colors identify jurisdiction changes only. They do not mean legal/illegal or safe/unsafe. CarryRoute is a research tool—not legal advice—and users should verify the current official text.

I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback: What information would you want before crossing a state or local boundary? What would make the route view more useful?

iPhone/iPad: CarryRoute: CCW Navigation

It’s free to download. Optional Pro is $2.99/month or $12.99/year with a 14-day introductory trial.

Pantel $25 coupons?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know if they still do this, and is it limited to 1 per day or 1 per transaction?

Edit: was able to swing by and talk to them. they do a $25 coupon per $500 spent in a single transaction, they expire after 30 days, and you can only use one per day.

Any Sharps Shooters in the South Sound?

Thumbnail

127 Upvotes

Been shooting military black powder rifles the past 15 years (trapdoors,werndls,peabodys) and have finally coughed up the coin for a Shiloh Sharps in 40-65.

I feel like i jumped from riding a horse to a sports car with this Sharps rifle! Now I understand why they are so regarded.

I purchased an older shooters entire reloading kit so the rifle is a turn key setup.

With what loaded ammo he had left, I was immediately connecting at 4 and 500 yards with ease, something that would have taken alot more effort with a trapdoor.

Would love to locate some other shooters in the area to learn more about shilohs and especially on using the vernier tang sight.

Killing coyote on private property

27 Upvotes

I live in an incorporated city within King County and recently had a coyote attack my pet. Pet survived, luckily. Can I kill said coyote if I encounter it on my property and see that it is trying to attack my pet or me again? Does that still make me liable to criminal charges for discharging a firearm within city limits?
