Kitsap Rifle & Revolver Club is roughly 72 acres of beautiful woodland in Western Kitsap County, just a few miles up Seabeck Highway northwest of Bremerton. We have several open-sky ranges utilizing about eight acres, with the rest acting as buffer. We have a Washington State Department of Ecology approved culvert system draining stormwater which enters our property from the south. It runs under the rifle line and into a wetland which is part of our property. Years of soil and water testing by our on-site environmental lab has proven our heavy metals are contained. Water leaves this facility cleaner than it arrives.
To be honest, most of a decade fighting for our right to operate as we did for nearly 90 years before that has left us a bit disheveled. We will expand this page with photos new and old in the coming weeks, to show you many of the glorious activities he have hosted in the pastāand will again soon!
50-yard Pistol/Rimfire Line
Our covered and walled pistol/rimfire line overlooks a 50-yard range with 12+-foot-high earthen impact berms on all three sides. There is a four-foot tall cross range berm at 25-yards. There are 24 foldable shooting benches.

200-yard Rifle Line
Our covered rifle line is walled on two sides to cut down on wind and rain. Twelve two-station concrete shooting benches and stools provide capacity for 24 shooters. The range is 200-yards, with smaller berms at 25-yards and 50-yards. We have a line of doors to hang targets on at 100-yards. From there, the ground slopes gently and allows targets to be established at 150 and 200 yards. Three heavy steel gongs can be found out there, too. The first 100-yards of the rifle rangeās left side is a 12-foot earthen berm which separates the shooting bays to the north. The earth barrier at the far end of the range is a 25-foot cliff face. Above that, hill and a thick fir forest continue to rise beyond to the east into the bulk of our buffer land.

Both the rifle and pistol lines have the following additional features:
- Noise reducing baffles installed on the leading edge of the roof

- LED strobe system to help communicate when someone has placed the range into a Cold status
- Central podium and PA system for the Range Officers
- Trauma kit and fire extinguisher
- Propane heaters
- A small variety of blocks and other bench-rest materials
- Materials to erect targets exactly where you want; while also ensuring your rounds hit the berms
- Buckets for your casings if you donāt want to take them
- Safety cans for dud rounds
The Action Bays
Scattered around the property are eleven, multi-berm shooting bays, most with a table and canopy staged for use. Eight are fully accessible during normal range operations, with the other three available on an as-needed basis. The bays are a variety of depths, each containing multiple earthen berms. One has two overlapping āfront bermsā and a heavy wood door, allowing for us to set up 360-degree shoot houses for special competitions. These bays host a variety of classes and shooting sports. Members who complete required additional safety training and pass a practical shooting exercise may use the bays when theyāre not in use for other events.Ā
