English pit is still there and functioning


There's other areas that are free as well such as Jones Creek above camas. Just need a discovery pass. First come first serve. I know a lot of people go up to larch mt. as well. I haven't been to safe fire but a lot of people have told me it's great. There's a place for shotgun shooting off fruit valley road by the Vancouver lake.
English Pit is still in operation.

SafeFire allows non-magnum rifles and has 4 full-auto rentals in addition to 100 other rental. Vets get a free hour on Vets Day as well.

Farther north is Cowlitz County range, they go out to 300 yards.
Can recommend, Tri-County, English Pit, Cowlitz, but distance and waitlisted. Never done DRRC but heard good things. I mostly shoot on blm at this point tho
On the Washington side, I do head up from Portland to both English Pit and Safe Fire, and use A place to Shoot on the Oregon side. English Pit still operating and provides a low cost way to shoot long gun, pistol and shotgun. SafeFire is certainly a high quality indoor range. A place to shoot is also good as an Indoor Range on the Oregon side. I was on the Tri County list for almost two years when my name came up, pretty expensive, ended up passing..
Isn't English pit the one where there are lots of unsafe newbs and certain days of the week the rso is a bubblegumer? That's just what I heard. Have never been there.

Also OP is in OR so it's illegal for him to bring any pistols with threaded barrels, most semi autos, and any >10 round mags into WA. Just saying it's illegal, not saying any person should comply with their BS or not.

I havent had the experience you are identifying at English Pit. Would suggest contacting the range by phone if you have any legit concerns.

I do have all the appropriate permits for myself and my firearms when I travel across the border from OR to WA and definitely do recommend following state laws to the letter. As for mags, I purchased and only carry 10 rounders into WA for each firearm as required.

As far as I know there are no permits that allow banned guns to enter wa legally. Fe semi autos with banned features, pistols with threaded barrels. If they were in wa before the law they can leave (and re-enter if same are in wa resident's posession) but no new ones can enter wa that were not there before the law.

Again I'm not saying don't do it. Because Ferguson is a bubblegumer. And I woudl get banned if I said what ought to be done to him if there were any justice in the world, but just want to make people aware of the law so they can do whatever they want with their eyes open.
