Where Are the Best Places to Shoot Guns in the Mid-Columbia?

Needless to say they were good times and great bonding moments with my father. Now I'd like to take my kids out to a good range and show them how to shoot too, but the times have changed. Where are the best places to go shooting and take your family?
