Action Pistol Shoot at Cascade Rifle & Pistol Club

ADTA is a 501(c)(7) non-profit organization founded in 2011 that specializes in practical pistol training and defensive firearm skills. They operate monthly action pistol shoots and dry-fire workshops at Cascade Rifle & Pistol Club in Ravensdale, WA (26520 292nd Ave SE, Ravensdale, WA 98051)—just 30 minutes east of Federal Way.

Unlike static range shooting, ADTA events focus on movement, accuracy under pressure, and realistic self-defense scenarios. Shooters work through skills training and scenario-based exercises using both dry-fire (no ammunition) and live-fire drills.

• •Monthly Practical Pistol Series at Cascade includes:
• •Basic to advanced shooting challenges
• •Steel, paper, and moving targets
• •Timed exercises with scoring to track improvement
• •Indoor and outdoor scenario training
• •Instruction from experienced ADTA instructors (Wu Chin, Jeff Bickford, Jeremy Robinson, Tina Rempel)

Cascade's outdoor facilities include: - Outdoor action bays with practical pistol courses - Outdoor pistol ranges - Outdoor rifle ranges - Designated "E" Range (Bays 3, 4, and 5) for action pistol events

ADTA also hosts dry-fire workshops (no ammunition) in Federal Way and other locations. These events feature:

• •Skills training using laser training pistols
• •5-Step Basic Holster Exercise progressions
• •Indoor scenarios: ATM holdups, armed confrontations
• •Outdoor scenarios: Carjackings, gas station robberies
• •Debriefing sessions on threat assessment and decision-making
• •"Threat 360 Awareness" instruction

Dry-fire training costs nothing after initial gun investment and is ideal for frequent practice between live-fire events.

ADTA enforces these principles at every event:

1. Treat every gun as if it is loaded – Hold yourself to this habit every single time 2. Keep your gun pointed in a safe direction – Muzzle-down when holstered; downrange when on firing line 3. Index your trigger finger until you are on target – Trigger finger straight and flat against the gun body when not firing 4. Be certain of your target and what is beyond it – You're responsible for the entire path of every bullet

"I joined ADTA after 20 years of carrying a handgun. Before ADTA the problem was that in between those expensive classes I wasn't getting any realistic practice. Going to the range and shooting in a lane just isn't preparing anyone for the reality of a self defense shooting. Over the last 10 years ADTA has given me the opportunity to train indoors on a regular monthly schedule." – Brandon K., ADTA Member
