The Kenmore Range is the AIR GUN center in the Pacific Northwest. We shoot .177 pellets
indoor and outdoor, all year round. Most of our emphasis is concentrated on International Air Pistol which has
remained very popular with our members over the years. This is an Olympic sport for both men and women.
International Air Pistol is shot at 10 meters (33 ft) at the B-40 target which has a 10-ring less than 1/2 inch
in diameter. This is a slow fire event. A regular match is 60 shots for record in 1hr and 45 minutes. Unlimited
sighters are allowed before the first record shot, however they must be shot during the match time and decrease
the amont of time left to shoot the record series. No sighters may be shot after the record series begins. The
normal match for women and juniors is 40 shots in 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The Air Pistol League matches run at Kenmore are 30 shots for record in 1 hour. Leagues usually run for 8 or 10
weeks, one match a week, and the aggregrate score determining the final standing. |
Indoor Air Pistol
The current indoor range is a seasonal range, in place from April to July. We have 12 firing points at 10 meters
with target carriers. Air pistol is shot during the leagues, matches, and training sessions held during this time
frame.
One annual event which can be counted on is an eight week USA Shooting sanctioned air pistol league starting the
middle of April every year. The cost is $25 for the league. We have air pistols available to get the newer shooters
started. The league uses USAS classifications, so shooters compete against others of similar ability.

Outdoor Air Pistol
Practice can be accomplished on Range #3, our outdoor pistol range, which has several 10 meter positions available
for either air pistol or off-hand air rifle. Minimally affected by the elements, with only the last 4 or 5 meters
exposed to the weather. The cost to the public is $4.00 per day, eye and ear protection required. Open to the public
on the weekends only. |
Air Gun Supplies - Retail Sales
The Range Office stocks many brands of match .177 pellets, different weights
and diameters (.449, .450, .451 cm). We also stock rebuild kits for some of the popular high end air pistols like
Walther. We also usually have cleaning pellets and special oil for spring guns. |
