I always wonder if I have enough.  My wife said 'nough already, lol!  But when I appeal to her finance sense and say that so and so is having a deal on case sales she eventually gives in. ;)

As long as I say that the case lot will be more expensive if I buy later on, she'll say ok, go buy um, go.
I've seen some decent prices and availability on cases of 9 recently. . .

Go check 'um, go check 'um, go!  :thumbsup:

Plus, hurricane season, needed commodity in SHTF, etc

Also, you worked hard all your life.  Now time to enjoy some pew, pew, pew  ;D

i would assume any work is going to involve a full shutdown...

Wow, range work is not as simple as just throwing dirt to make a berm then building a shooting shed.

I need to ask this question at the risk of showing how naive I am, but.....I am, lol!

Why would it be ok to shoot .22 LR?  Lower velocity?  Less bullet mass?

And is it ok to have shooters firing in one bay while work is being done on the other?  (Say people shooting at pistol bulleye while contractors working on the rifle side.)

Maybe they will open up the combat ranges for general public use.

Looks like this will be in place until November or so.  This weekend is going to be packed!
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

Better hoard more.  I have a feeling prices will be up soon.

I've been hoarding since the Obama scare  ;)

So did they find this supposed dormant slug ? Was it a foster or brenneke slug thats "soft" lead or was it sabot slug? Your telling me it ricocheted over the firing line and hit a car window? Wouldnt it seem more likely that the ricochet happened from the action bay side?

I wonder if the property damage victim is on this forum?

I think they should keep the firing line on the north facing range as is or knock it down halfway. That hill does in fact provide protection. If a bullet can ricochet there it certainly can at the action bay side. I know law enforcement shoots slugs down there.

They can fill up kokohead with all that dirt from keeamoku lol

Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022 a temporary caliber, firearm limit will be implemented
for the three north-facing firearm ranges at the Koko Head Shooting Complex (KHSC). Only
.22LR caliber ammunition and firearms will be allowed to discharge at the pistol, rifle, and
silhouette ranges at KHSC. The archery range and south-facing firearm ranges (trap, skeet,
and cowboy action) will not be affected by this temporary limitation.

Whew!  for a minute I thought I was going to be restricted to .22LR arrows.   :geekdanc: :thumbsup:

Just wondering if HPD/other law enforcement agencies will be able to use the skeet and combat action bays during this shutdown?😏

Once actual construction starts the entire range will supposedly be shut down…….  :)
