5 Places To Perfect Your Shooting Skills Around Yakima

We live in the Pacific Northwest, so it’s not uncommon for us to do and practice things that you would expect to be done in the Pacific Northwest. One of the big things that is a staple in our neck of the woods is hunting. Even though one side of our state might not be as passionate as the other, it’s an important and time honored tradition.

Now let me just state before I start getting the hate email. I’m not a big fan of trophy hunting. If you eat what you kill, or are having to kill in order to save something else, that’s a different story. I do have family members that have had their kills sent to the taxidermist, but they did eat the meat, so the animal did more than just stand there meant to impress someone. When it comes to firearms, I just want people to be safe. Also, so you don't end up in the news like the Yakima man who shot is fridge thinking he was under attack.

Where Can You Hone Your Hunting Skills?

In my searching, I’ve found a few places that you can go and practice your shot. That way no matter if it’s for protection or hunting, you’re more likely to be successful and SAFE! Some are free, some are not and some offer memberships. Click their individual links for more info on each of the places. Here’s what I found, in no particular order.
