May 19, 2012 - RANGE will be OPEN Sunday, May 20th.

Rangemaster has the authority to close the range early if no one shows up to shoot. Until we get past the periodic closures due to wet weather for the 2012 shooting season, plan to show up early to shoot. We open at noon.

Range fee is $15 cash per shooter. Exact change is appreciated - we can always use fives. We do not accept credit cards or checks.

Calling the range for specific information on opening is a good idea. Our number is (425) 252-8832.

The Club general meeting was held on Sat. May 5th. Chuck Wulff and Randy Morrison hold the current positions of Vice President and Trustee and both were nominated again for these respective offices. Election will be held during our June meeting at the range.

The Fallen Hero Memorial Shoot was held today. About 14 shooters competed in what is a rifle match held using U.S. service rifles. We do this each year to remember our veterans who served and those who payed for our freedom with their lives. Many thanks to all who served our country, the club members who prepared for the event and to the Murphy's for providing food for us as well as those who competed.



Club Picnic is Scheduled for Sat. June 16th.


Remember: Dues were due as of Jan 1st. Badge stickers for 2012 are now available.

May 14, 2012 - We do not have the application for Membership online-here's why: We are accepting applications but we screen applicants by giving them a punch card when they first visit us. After $60.00 worth of punches you have the option of using it for $30.00 towards the first year membership or a free day at the range. This gives the range masters a chance to observe you and you a chance to observe us and then you can join if there are no objections on either side. Anyone obtaining a card wiil be required to attend two club General meetings prior to being voted upon for full membership. Record will be kept of attendance on the card.
We are looking for participative perspective club members, not people who pay the fee, then seldom if ever show up for meetings, work parties, etc.

You will be required to present the punch card at 3rd General Membership Meeting that you will attend at which time you will be voted on by the attending members. Be expected to share with us at that time what your expertise is: Painting, mowing grass, range assistant, carpentry etc. and when/how you will be helping. Without this promise to our club, you will most likely not be accepted for membership.

Our club is a non-profit organization run by volunteers who love to shoot and want the club to be a success. The ESC is always looking for new members – those who are willing to participate in the club, and who will help with the club tasks and duties.

Membership means more than paying the $70 annual fee. It means showing up at our monthly meetings and participating as an active member. It also means being willing to help with the operation and maintenance of our range. We have a regular need for volunteers to lend a hand by grabbing a shovel, rake, screwdriver, hammer or paintbrush and helping out with some of the available work.

If you are willing to do a little more than just paying the annual membership and showing up to shoot, then we will consider your application for membership.


Below is the rule overview:

This listing is up-to-date. Please don't call the range telephone number to ask about or review these rules, they are in effect as posted here and calling the range only ties-up our Rangemaster from monitoring the range. See also the Range Rules link for a complete rule listing.

o Summer hours are now in effect. The Range is open Noon to 5 PM Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The daily fee is $15.

o REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR OWN EAR AND EYE PROTECTION. Most sporting goods stores sell safety glasses and earmuffs that are of much better quality than what we are able to provide. (We do have some safety glasses and earplugs for purchase. However, we strongly recommend you bring your own.)

o You MUST wear protection within 50 feet of the firing line while the range has live firing going on. Yes, this includes a portion of the parking lot as well.


NOTE: Without this protection equipment, you will be asked to leave as we allow no shooting or observation of any kind on the firing line witbout them.

o The last Cease Fire and posting time for targets is 30 minutes prior to closing. If you arrive after that time, the Rangemaster will ask you to come back another day as another cease fire will not be called. Also, the Rangemaster will adhere to the posted hours. Under no circumstances will there be an extension of the posted open hours nor a discount on the daily range fee.
