I've been a member for ~5 years and have been quite satisfied. The facilities are outstanding. Membership continues to grow.
Yes the staff can be gruff until you get to know them, but I'd rather have a little too much order at a gun range than not enough.

Bottom line at the Kenmore Range is it's a club and they don't like non-members shooting there. I have shot at gun ranges in Washington state for almost 40 years-including as a member of the old Seattle Skeet and Trap club in Redmond-as well as clubs up and down the West Coast and have never, ever seen such an unfriendly attitude toward non-members. Club memebers will literally give you totally contradictory instructions at the shotgun facility and it is clear their intent is not safety but to make sure to put you in your place as a non-member. They should simply close it to the public-if you are not a member-they don't want you there.

My 1st experience…was a Great range experience!
As an Armor for my PD, I built a friend a rifle and we went to sight it in. I was leery to go to Kenmore due to comments made on this forum, but we went anyway.
I have 27 years professional experience shooting at ranges all over the world, thanks to Uncle Sam and law enforcement. From the time I approached the office to the time we got started, this range felt like home, a familiar & professional range.
The range master was a retired LVPD officer and did an outstanding job in running the range. I always worry about a rangemaster that allows knuckleheads show up with their arsenal who complains about being told what to do, who don’t control their muzzle they laser everyone on the line, have negligent discharges, and don’t listen to the simple safety rules. I did not see any of this at this range. Everyone complied, and the few minor infractions that occurred (Muzzle Flags), the range master quickly took care of it in a friendly and professional way. Even the regulars would keep each other in check not to enter the “Red” zone when at cease fire mode.
I saw new shooters, who were not as familiar with their rifle as they should be, but they followed the rules and the range master ensured the safety of all without the attitude, I suspect those new shooters will quickly grow into seasoned shooters under this type of atmosphere.
I didn’t like loading one shell at a time in my AR, but I fully understand the reason and it didn’t affect how we zeroed the rifle. I am glad to give up that inconvenience to ensure someone with no experience comes in and changes the safety rhythm of the range.
To be honest, this was my first trip to the range and their may be some individual with the typical range ego running the line, but I did not see that when I was their, nor did I get the impression that was even typical based on the positive attitudes of the shooters in the parking lot going to various ranges.
Great range experience and I will be back.

No one that posted a unfavorable review of your range disobeyed any range rules, it's the gross and all pervading NEGATIVE and UNFREINDLY attitude of your employees and some members that generated these reviews. I wish you well in your misery.

My house was here way before Kenmore Gun Range was. They are a nuisance that needs to be removed. They drive down the value of the neighborhood with their ridiculous shooting all day long. Give it a break will ya?

Just called to inquire about all the negative reviews.
I can't say that they convinced me at all that they have an ounce of patience if you mess up at all.
In the words of the person on the phone "People are handling guns and it's a matter of life and death. If someone is doing something they shouldn't then our guys (I like this part) JUMP ON THEM RIGHT AWAY!"
Okay, no thanks...

I been my experiece at Kenmore Range that bad experience are generally the result of bad approach. I am the current President of the club and have followed up on may complaints over the years. Some are accurate by most are the result of aggress customers that don't get their way or don't listen to what they are told. The Club has over 2,000 members that believe it is a nice and safe place to shoot.
Carl Brattain, President

Brought a couple teens there the other day to get in a little pistol shooting. Turns out the public PISTOL range is only open on the weekend. That's ok, but instead of just saying so the guy rudely pointed at a collection of ragged notices on the wall...one of which gave the range hours, but there were so many notices it was hard to find. I had to pry out of him what the problem was.
Fortunately I took the boys over to Sam's where we did some shooting...but none of us were impressed with Kenmore.
Catch a clue, Kenmore people. Stop looking down on those of us who aren't "in the know" or you'll wake up one day wondering what happened to your membership.
This is my second sub-par experience there. I hope they can improve in this area as the facility is pretty nice, and conveniently located.

This is the worst gun range I have ever been to. I called and the guy said that they would be open for the rifle range until 7pm. I showed up at 5:55pm and the guy shut the window right in front of me and put the closed sign up . He looked at me and said "what do you want?" I said I called and you were gonna be open until 7 pm. He said " sorry cant help you, Come back tomorrow". I came back a week later to give them another chance but it was even worse than the 1st time. You can't use your own targets at al
