Education and information for new shooters and experienced shooters alike.
A community of fellow learners, skilled instructors, and members across Washington State who can answer nearly any question you can think of.
We are a national 501(c)(4) non-profit gun advocacy group dedicated to responsible gun use and community self-defense.
Monthly range days for our members to shoot, chat, and build community.
Learn to shoot or refine your technique as part of a welcoming group. We hold range days open to all vetted members in several locations in Washington (Northwest, Central, and Eastern, plus the Olympic Peninsula), with members located all over the state. We also offer members medical training, pepper spray and deescalation classes, a book club, and more.
PSSRA has regular in-person events in all five shaded regions
Join today - no experience or equipment required.
We do not tolerate abusers, supporters of fascism/racism or other reactionary ideologies, or supporters of exclusionary social ideologies such as ableism or homophobia. We do not allow members to be active law enforcement officers or employed at domestic intelligence agencies. Because of Washington handgun and rifle laws we require that all members be age 21 or older. This is not a comprehensive list, but should give you a sense of what we’re about.
You don’t need to own a gun or have shooting experience — we’re happy to welcome new learners!
Join us!
Anyone age 21+ can contact us at with your intent to join.
Sorry, we do not provide recommendations for retailers or ranges in the area.
Update (current as of April 2025)
Due to increased interest, we have a significant intake backlog. Do reach out to register your interest, but please know that it may be a while before we are able to begin your membership. You can join our parent organization at any time, but entry for national members into the Puget Sound chapter for local events is similarly backlogged.
Donate to support our mission
If you’re not in the area, or otherwise not interested in membership for yourself, you can still help support our mission of inclusive firearms education by donating to us via our Open Collective account, which is run under the fiscal host of National SRA, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.
Donations support member scholarships, classes from expert instructors, instructor travel reimbursement, and medical supplies. The chapter never purchases firearms, gun parts, or ammunition; more information on valid uses of chapter funds can be found in the SRA bylaws.
Please do not use this donation link to join as a member;
instead, reach out via email and we’ll let you know how to join!
