Hello,

I would like to find a rural area preferably near Federal Way / Tacoma, that allows one to become comfortable with a new Shotgun's functionality without time-limit's, pressure, a large audience, etc.. Maybe just a good ole' Hillside somewhere that is customarily used for such.

Maybe something like this:

Posted same question in a couple other places but with no response. Not looking to invade on anyone's private spots, just need access for a couple hours or so.

Thank you

do you see the icon just above the big black box? right above Guardian Tactical? click on that. it may just help you a bit oh ya and welcome you have come to the right place

Thank you kindly, was starting to wonder why I purchased a Shotgun if I can't find a place to pattern it. It appears as though Greenwater Shooting Pit is the best bet for me. Obviously never been there before, or any shooting pit type environment for that matter. Any advice, tips, recommendations? Are there certain hours of free shooting, or designated parking areas?

Thanks again!

hum tell you the truth i have never been there. the only/best place i know is down by Olympia. for me its well worth the drive

look at honey hole #1 that would be my fav.

Green water is a good place easy to get too I go often if you want to go Saturday we can meet up you can follow me or ride with of you want too

I will definitely take you up on that offer, but I'm not able to go until next week sometime, was just planning ahead a bit. I really appreciate the kind gesture, will send over a PM.

next week works also I am on vacation all week also I have nothing better to do. then shoot and go fishing

i cant think of anything better to do than that

If interested in someplace other than a gravel pit - try the Tacoma Sportman's Club, there is a patterning board that no one ever seems to be using and you can fire from different distances to learn the pattern - check the TSC website for more info. Try different shells, etc and enjoy the shotgun.

Good tip!

Welcome to WaGuns, Felix.

The Missus and I would like to tag along if that's okay - we still haven't shot our Mossberg 500 Chainsaw.

We're retired, so our schedule is pretty flexible.

You and the misses are more than welcome to go out I will have mi ole lady out with me maybe Saturday but I know for sure next week also

The patterning board can be used only when the trap range is open. You have to use trap loads only. If they are using the far left trap box be careful when standing up by the patterning board.
