Yes—we designed our range to be members-only to ensure the safety and quality of our patrons.

 

A membership at SSNW does not only allow you to fire in the range – our facility offers the firearm enthusiast a complete experience, much like a shooting club. Members can take advantage of our full facility, in addition to special discounts, weekly and scheduled events, services, and more. A membership at SSNW brings with it a membership to a community of firearm enthusiasts, and an unrivaled experience for any level of shooter.

We operate as a members-only facility. However, members can bring up to two guests at a time. The guests must accompany the member in their lane use, and are the sole responsibility of the member; the member is completely accountable for any damage, injury, or disruption caused by the guests. The member is limited to two such guests at a time because it is a three person lane.

 

Because we have promised our members a safe and high quality range, we cannot allow day passes. However, one can purchase a full 30-day use pass starting at only $50.00.

 

The member’s lounge is available for all members and guests. The lounge features comfortable seating, a big screen television, and internet stations designed to allow our members to relax before, after, or in between shooting sessions. Some of our scheduled special events take place in the lounge, including movies and classes.

Yes! We are happy to provide training grounds for any level of law enforcement or security agencies. We can provide reserved lane time and classroom time for your training exercises, and, of course, access to our reactive steel targets. For information on what we can offer and/or to set up a program with us, please call us directly at 425-485-6929.

No — neither annual fees or punch card purchases are tradable or refundable. You may, at any time, upgrade your membership if you wish, but you can not go down in membership level for any refund. If you wish to upgrade, we will apply a pro-rated percentage of your initial membership fee toward the upgraded fee.

Due to the administrative cost of printing the membership cards, we will have to charge you a fee of $5.00 to replace your card.

Upon signing up for a membership, you will be given a membership badge that must be worn at all times while you are in the facility.

Things such as facility misuse, inappropriate actions or behaviors, and disruptions must carry with them some penalty to ensure the safety and comfort of our members. In most cases, we follow a basic three-strike rule: verbal warning, written warning, and ejection. We do not give these strikes lightly, and continuous disruptions will necessarily result in removal from the facility, and loss of any rights therein, both financially and administratively.

We offer the option to shoot handguns, rifles, and shotguns. We encourage you to fire your own, or take advantage of our extensive rental program, which is unmatched in its quality, quantity, and selection. SSNW reserves the right to inspect any and all firearms, in addition to the right to deny usage of any firearm we find to be unsafe or not in optimal functioning condition.

We allow for any caliber up to .308. Shotguns may be used, so long as they are used with slugs, or buckshot only. Birdshot is not permitted.

We are subject to Washington State regulations on Class 3 and above weapons, which restrict firing them in state lines. However, through our Insight instruction on these items, students of certain classes can fire SSNW-owned items for testing purposes. Members cannot bring their personal full auto or SB long guns, with them, but can fire the SSNW weapons via the Insight training course. We also have a select few SBRs in our rental program. As of July 23rd, 2011, suppressors are able to be legally used in Washington state. Due to this new legislation, we are able to permit their use in our range.

Yes, in a sense. Our extensive rental program is designed for just that purpose; try out your options before you make a purchase. However, you may not fire the exact gun you want to purchase; only the rental guns can be fired. Our rental list involves all of the major and premiere modern weaponry such as Heckler & Koch, Sig Sauer, Glock, DPMS, Springfield Armory, and Beretta. Please refer to our online rental section for more details, and a current listing of available weapons.

We allow the use of any new production style brass manufactured ammunition. However, for the safety of our facility and its members, we prohibit the use of certain ammunitions including: steel cased, tracer, incendiary, or steel core ammunition. As with firearms, we reserve the right to inspect any and all ammunition being fired in our facility, and also the right to deny usage of any ammunition deemed unsafe or not of proper manufacturing or production. We will be featuring an array of new and factory reloaded ammunition for use in the range, including premier manufacturers such as Remington, Federal, Speer, and MGI. We will offer ball, hollow point, and one-time reloaded ammunition at competitive rates in our storefront.

The specially-made reactive steel targets require the use of frangible ammunition to avoid damage to the units, and to ensure the shooter’s safety. Frangible ammunition is designed to fragment on contact, which is paramount to the reactive steel targets. You can not bring your own frangible ammunition due to our own concerns with quality, but of course, competitively priced frangible ammunition is always available at the range, in the DGS pro shop, or online at www.discountgunsales.com or www.matchgradeindustries.com.

Any damage done to the facility by a member or his/her guest is the responsibility of the member. The facility and it’s range are designed for all types of proper use, and any damage caused is sure to be from misuse or inappropriate firing. Any damage to such things as lighting, target retrieval tracks, or other parts of the facility is accountable to the shooter.

You may bring as many guns to your lane as you wish, within reason. If your firearms interfere with the walkway or otherwise cause an unsafe environment, you will be asked to limit your weaponry in the lane. We encourage you to take advantage of our in-house storage, which is conveniently located just outside the gun range itself. This way you can have your guns on-hand but not carry them all to your lane.

Yes—after your bag, firearm, and ammo are checked, you may bring the bag to your lane. This is a necessary safety check. Again, keep in mind that we have safe, secure, controlled storage units in the facility.

We offer secure, monitored storage units conveniently inside our facility. We have three sizes of locker to rent on a monthly basis including: 1.5 cubic feet units at $10.00 per month, 3 cubic feet units at $15.00 per month, and 9 cubic feet units at $20.00 per month.

For administrative purposes, we only need record what guns are being stored in our long-term rental units. While any gun that enters the facility is subject to inspection, we do not record your weapon unless it is being stored in our units. For stored weapons, we record the type, serial number, and condition. The gun will not be moved or touched in any way by our staff or anyone else.

For those members who don’t wish to clean their own guns, we have in our facility an L&R 236 Ultra-Sonic Cleaner. For as little as $15.00 per clean for two handguns or a rifle, this machine will both clean and lubricate your weapon for you in about 30 minutes.

We ask that the customer bring his or her gun to us field stripped for cleaning in our industrial cleaner. Any furniture (handguards, stocks, etc.) that may be affected by our solvent/lubricant will need to be removed before cleaning. Usually this only includes wood furniture.

We require that all firearms are brought into the facility in a case or holster. If you do not have one of these, please come in and ask to borrow one to bring your weapon into the store. Our DGS location has a great selection in cases, holsters and gun bags.

 

You may fire from your holster only after passing our Tactical Certification. This certification is reviewed by our in-house range staff, who will evaluate the shooters competency, accuracy, and control of this style of advanced shooting.

 

You may rapid fire only after passing our Tactical Certification. After passing the certification, you may increase your firing speed. At any time that our RSO deems your firing unsafe, you may be given a verbal warning. Further disruption or unsafe practices can result in disciplinary action.

We do not have a magazine capacity limit—we only ask that you remain safe with your shooting. Our magazine limit is in compliance with federal and state regulations. Currently there are no restrictions limiting your capacity, however if regulations are changed, our policy will have to adapt to compliance. We recommend that you bring your magazines into the lane loaded, so that you don’t use up any of your time loading magazines. We know you want to take full advantage of your lane time, and coming prepared will be a big step in accommodating that.

If you experience any type of malfunction, we request that you lay the firearm down on the counter, pointing down range, and signal the range officer. If the RSO himself sees the malfunction and receives no signal, he will come to you and request the same. Even if you think everything is fine, the RSO reserves the right to stop you at any time to examine the weapon and ensure safety before you continue shooting.

Members must be at least 18 years old to sign-up. Shooters under 18 years old must be accompanied by a SSNW member.

 

No — to keep our facility as clean and safe as possible, food and drink are not allowed in the lanes. We have a fantastic in-house lounge for eligible members to relax, eat, and drink whatever you wish.
