Howdy all! New old guy here.

I'm not exactly a gun expert, though I've been shooting for ~35 years. Ex-artilleryman and M1 tank crewman (switched MOS at reenlistment). I've shot all kinds of things: 8" howitzer shells, 155mm howitzer shells, 120mm tank rounds, mounted 50 cal, M60 7.62, M-something grenade launcher, LAW rocket launcher, pistols, AK-47, SKS, shotguns, paintball guns, BB guns; you name it, there's a good chance I've pulled its trigger at some point (okay, that wasn't a challenge; there's a lot I haven't shot). :D I recently bought a Colt AR-15 and put a red dot sight on it, just as a fun gun to take to the range.

I'm looking for new places to shoot east of Seattle. I have a couple spots I like, so it's more about variety than need. I'm happy to share whatever knowledge I can offer.

Welcome to WaGuns, firesupporter!

Indeed, it sounds like you've fired some pretty interesting (and large) guns. That's an impressive list!

Never forgotten a tanker LT's target engagement motto
"apply rounds until target changes shape or catches on fire".

Greetings! It's always fun to add to the "I've shot that" list. Can't say I've pulled the cord on an 8" or 155mm, no LAW here (AT-4 though). Hope this group helps scratch some of those itches.
