Seattle Rifle & Pistol Association

Seattle Rifle & Pistol Association operates as a private club located in Machias, Washington, about 2 miles east of Everett off Highway 2. Unlike public ranges, SRPA restricts general access to members and their guests, but opens all competitive events to the public.

"We are open to the public only for scheduled matches/practices as noted on the calendar."

SRPA maintains four distinct ranges:

• •100/200 Yard Rifle/Pistol Range - Covered pavilion, open daily (except Thursdays) unless a match is scheduled. 200-yard lanes are members-only.
• •500 Yard / High Power Range - Members must qualify at 200 yards before using this distance. Open Wednesdays for recreational shooting; monthly Saturday matches.
• •Shotgun Range - Trap shooting with clay targets included in fees. Pattern boards available outside scheduled times.
• •Archery Ranges - Flat range and 3D courses. A Course and B Course available, with B Course closed during 500-yard range use.

General Member Hours: - Rifle/Pistol Range: 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM or 1 hour before sunset (whichever is earlier) - Shotgun: Friday and Saturday, 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM for trap; pattern boards available outside these times - Archery: Daylight hours when safe to shoot - All ranges closed Thursdays, no exceptions

The club opens to the general public (not members-only) in September and October specifically for hunters to dial in rifles, handguns, slug guns, and black powder firearms. Cost: $15 per day per shooter (cash or credit card).
