I have been shooting at the Darrington Washington Shooting Pit for close to ten years. I generally go once a week some times twice a week from spring until the snow come down that low. .
I have been taking my grandson out there to shoot since he was four yesrs old, he will be ten on June 20th. .
When we go there we generally leave the house around 8-830 in the morning and stay there all day. We pack up when it starts to get dark. Mason shoots a lot every week. He can shoot better then most adults.
I bought him a 200 cc mini bike a few weeks ago so now we load that up so he can ride it up it the mountains.
I have a magnet from harbor freight that looks like a plunger for picking up shotgun hulls and steel rifle & pistol cases. Been picking them up for years. The shotgun hulls go in the garbage and I dump the steel rifle & pistol cases in the steel recycle bin at the transfer station.
Last year I put together a clean up day at the pit and eight guys came up to help with the clean up.
I will be setting up another clean up day next month.
I take a big ice chest with water, coke, sprite & budweisers for the guys.
Every week I pick up two or three buckets of shotgun hulls or steel rifle & pistol cases.
I also pick up any brass that happens to be left behind by other shooters.
One time I picked up 35 pounds of brass.
Yesterday i only picked up about pounds of brass, 30 caliber Carbine, 9mm & 38spl.
White Horse Mountain across the road where we go shooting.
Mason on his mini bike at the pit.
The buckets of trash steel rifle & pistol.cases.
White Horse Mountain on the way out last night.
When we got home we unloaded Masons mini bike and got a fire going in the fire pit and I have a few Budweisers.

Two weeks ago a guy from down by Seattle came up to check out reloading. He orders a Lee press kit and waiting for it to come in. He brought his 40cal and 357 Sig. I had dies and everything to load some up.
He set the dies un in my Hornady single-stage Lock n Load press, resized them and loaded up fifty of each then we went shooting until it got dark.
My battery on the phone died so I didn't get any pictures. But I did take a picture today of the two buckets of steel rifle & pistol cases.
