I goto PoCo regularly with a bunch of guys that have tons of guns. So if anyone comes up and sees 3 to 4 guys with 4 benches full of various guns and rifles in the racks chances are thats us. Oh yea we mostly go during the winter months cuz we cant ride

you don't need a licence to shoot guns... only to buy them. just show up and pay for rent. assuming they do rent guns which the post says.

When I was shopping for my Remington 870 Marine Magnum they beat everyone in town by a couple of 100 bucks and matched the best price I found on the net. Very nice guys always friendly. Talking to Gino is a trip cuz hes an old Italian Gentlemen with the super thick accent, but hes super cool and very knowledgable.

You can choose from any of their guns within a single calibur. You just have to use their round when using their guns. If it's your first time shooting, they give you an intro on how to use the gun safely.
They also have a .50 Magnum revolver to rent too. I haven't tried that one yet though  | |

ammo is the most expensive part, but it's not that bad. Just take it easy on the ammo (which is hard to do, I know )

not too bad, $7.99 a box of 50 rds reloaded 9mm
.45ACP is $10.99 a box tho....
.22LR is a bargain ! $5.99 for a box of 100s
there's 2 ppl suicided in Wade's in 2000' tho, one in the bathroom and one in the range. so they no longer rent guns to single person, you gotta go with a friend.

screw 22's... haha.... rimfire just doesn't cut it for me...
but ya... i dunno about down there... but the cheapest centerfire stuff here is the .223 Rem, (not counting that surplus czech 7.62 stuff), and that's about 50 cents a round here..
i wonder how much it would cost down there?

I'm heading down to Seattle for two days, one night with my gf next week. Will be staying overnight in the downtown Sheraton. We both want to try out shooting for the first time. The Wade's shooting range is located in Bellevue, which I don't think would work out time wise. (doing other stuff like shopping, etc in Seattle and Lynnwood).
Are there any other shooting ranges along the I-5 highway between the border and Seattle? A range that allows beginners, rents different sorts of firearms, and offers a beginner tutorial?
Also, how long would a typical shooting session take? Including beginner tutorial, two people shooting in one lane, 100-150 rounds each or however much beginners normally shoot. I'm guessing around 2-3 hours?

I cleared out a day to visit Bellevue to check out Wade's. Seems like too fun/cheap a place to pass up. I did have a couple questions. Are eye and ear protection provided with rental? Is there anything I should be aware of for visitng a shooting range for the first time?
