Then people can socialize in person. You could say where and when you are going, and some sort of distinctive description so you can be identified.
Example:
Today july 12 khsc rifle side. Look for fat guy in orange pants, and green Paracord bracelet. Around 2pm.
This could be an ongoing sticky thread.

Well not really. I am not going today. But if you are, why don't you post a message here so perhaps other like-minded individuals will do the same.

Thanks for the second.
In the same way that this forum is the internet gathering place, the range should be a physical gathering place
for members to meet. This thread should encourage these face to face meetings.

Good seeing you again too, oldguy! Unfortunately I need to work in order to afford ammo so I won't be there tomorrow. But I'll keep an eye out for you the next time I go. Good luck on the Gold Dot testing.

I will be testing some trigger mods I did on my 300 Blackout and if they work well I will be doing some load development for it. Also, I will be doing some load development for my Mosin Nagant as well. Come on by and talk story for a while.
I am usually shooting on Sunday mornings as I am a member of the Black Powder Shooters of Hawaii and we meet Sunday mornings for shooting until we go to Zippy's for lunch. If you never noticed, we built and maintain the last 6 benches on the right side of the rifle range. We usually shoot anything from black powder (Pre Civil War) to antique battle rifles to modern rifles and everything in between. We are a friendly bunch and if we notice someone standing behind us drooling we will usually invite you to shoot what we have. Come on by and we might have a doughnut or two left over for you (bribe). :shaka:

Rifle side was pretty crowded today, hot but at least had a breeze. Met a RO that calls himself "Slick" I think. Real nice guy, helped me improve my technique.
Slick is super cool. :thumbsup: Helped me improve significantly - now I only put one or two holes in my pistol frame per session vs it looking like swiss cheese.

I got to shoot a couple Sharps rifles in 45-70 and 45-90. I shot a few different Mausers in different calibers ranging from 6.5mm to 11mm and from numerous countries of manufacture. I also got to shoot an Arisaka along with numerous muzzle loading rifles and pistols. Someone there had a pepperbox. There was an AR in 300BLK a 308 bolt action and a .17HMR. All this plus a couple of early 1900's .22 target rifles. A great collection of old and reproductions made for a great day today..
...
Excellent...
Today is a holiday, so is anybody else going besides me?

I wonder who the 2 women who "got stuck" are?
Also, what does "got stuck" mean? Maybe we need HNN writers with a slightly more developed English vocabulary?
Were they unable to climb back out?
Were they too frightened of falling to attempt climbing up?
Were they terrified of the bullets they heard whizzing by their heads? :shake:
"Got stuck" is a result. I'd really be interested in the cause. :popcorn:

What HNN needs are "writers" maybe even "journalists", you know, people that investigate and report news. That blurb barely qualifies as a "tweet".
I'm sure if they had heard "bullets whizzing over there heads" we would have been treated to an in-depth analysis of everything that is "wrong" about KHSC, and what they feel should be done about it.
The cause? More than likely plain old base stupidity. It's more common than common sense nowadays.

I am curious about something. I have personally seen 5 rescues while at the range. The first 4 they stopped all shooting during the rescues. The last 1 they did not stop the shooting. Are they supposed to stop?There's the brow and we get scolded if we point anything beyond parallel to the ground.

"Oh. Sorry. Wrong person." And walks away.

So how'd it go? Was there a good load in there, which you forgot to write down, so now you gotta do over? I've done the same... no worries! Lol ;)
OF was very patient with this noob
mahalo, OF
the load i thought was on the lighter end of the range was on the higher end of the range
and the load that i thought was on the higher end of the range was barely cycling
all in all, a good lesson learned
next time, i'll get the jedi mind trick lessons

My pleasure mac.
Though we did not bench your ammo, judging from your velocity readings you got the potential for some really straight shootin' ammo.
As for your marksmanship....
Well, let's just say a little coaching is needed there.
We should do that.

Just from observing the few shots you took yesterday, I got a pretty good idea what kind of help you need.
Let me know when you got some time. Actual coaching time is just a few hours.
After that you would need to practice regularly for a few months expending approx. 1 or 2m rounds.
Then you should be good to go.

very few people today at the pistol range side. HPD even have their helicopter landed here
Probably on his bathroom break. I remember when I was at the rifle side once during the week and he came in low and fast over the crater rim. Blades hadn't even slowed before he ran into the bathroom, Mike and I just laughed saying how bad that guy must've had to go.

Post by: macsak on June 11, 2015, 05:42:19 PM
What sort of problems were you having?
Main one is that the large projectiles are causing problems in the neck area
Result is feeding issues and stuck rounds
The solution may be a a ball sizer (or something like that, I'm new at this and sometimes they tell me things wrong by just to mess with me, especially when they can use terms like "ball sizer")
The other problem is cycling and kickback issues with my carbine length gas system
We are going to try a different buffer and spring to try and fix this

SSF had 3-4benches on rifle side, bolt action & semi auto 556, AR10 and something else. these were cash only not scripts. also had 3-4 benches on silhouette side for SSF shooting .22s.funny, they took scrips when i went on saturday.

Cruised by rifle range saw some Good Ole boys with awesome steel targets shooting standing with their Moisin. Look like so much fun. Planning on shooting big bores tomorrow anybody like recoil come on by and say Hi :wave:. If you'd like to proof test your targets better yet. :geekdanc: Lol

Don't shoot my 50 BMG @ Kokohead of course. Shoot my 338 Lapua & win mag and other bigger stuff all the time. Bring some steel and let's play.
Going probably shoot my 416, 338 & favorite 375 tomorrow. What are you bringing?

Ive only shot once at koko head with a friend at the silhouette side. Things are alot different there vs the range on maui. I plan on shooting more often in oahu but weekdays. Only have pistols in oahu. Havent brang any of my rifles down. i sold my 338 and 300 win mag. Only thing i got big now is my 50 but cant shoot that there and i dont enjoy lugging that thing around. its more of a pain then anything. At what distances can you shoot steel at? i was thinking of bringing my ai aw in 308 down. trying to get my gf into shooting more. shes deathly afraid of the 50. idk why. think its more the sound shes afraid of.

Buddy Dennis steel target needs to be replaced... got too beat up on a previous shoot. Ordering some new steel, ear cracked off beside being drilled and pitted. 338 and 300 mags really punish plates, don't shoot Barnes either will make plated pukas.. ouch... lol :geekdanc:

oh, it was bad luck, not saying he shot him on purpose. some guy had a target at 50 yards and the bird chilling was behind the target.
the ROs called him out on it on the intercom though and they called an early cease fire to go pick up the corpse.

If it was a one of those tall white egrets, then no loss. They are an invasive species.
There is talk of an eradication program for those things.

One RO who is no longer with us told me the fine for killing one is $500. He told me that at the same time my wife was still shooting the corpse of one she had killed about 30 seconds before. The bird had walked behind her target and she didn't even know it. She kept shooting her target and the corpse kept jumping with each shot. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Post by: oldfart on September 01, 2015, 07:45:32 PM

Yes, strangely enough it is. But protected is not the same as endangered.
In fact they do endanger real endangered species here.
Us fish and wildlife researchers have requested controlled eradication of the cattle egrets.
USFWS is a little schizophrenic in this matter.

Furthermore, because it is covered under federal law as a protected species, any killing whether intentional or accidental could trigger range closure for census to ensure human activity is not impeding on a natural habitat or nesting of these birds. That means the range shuts down completely for about 1-2 months while U.S. Fish & Wildlife conducts a census in conjunction with DLNR.
So heed the warnings of the RSOs. We want to avoid any additional negative PR in regards to the range or any shooting sports. Also, in regards to safety, part of the practice is knowing what is beyond the target. I'm amazed how many people become complacent to this and other safety rules.
Post by: Heavies on November 10, 2015, 10:53:50 PM
Cattle Egrets are covered under the Migratory Bird Act. Killing one can carry a fine of up to $10,000 and include prison time. They are an invasive species, and there are permits issued for control work for public safety by Federal agencies.

Practicing pistol Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.
Look for the strange shooting bag. Stop by and introduce yourself.
I want to go Veteran's Day but I am unsure if I can depends on appointment schedule.
I made it. Good to meet you oldfart, mahalos for you taking time out of your practice to provide me with some instruction/mentoring!!!
Good to see some of the HDF folks and the crew from SEC.
I learned more about the cattle egret from RO K9.
I didn't see my second favorite dentist...must have been hard at work.
The moral of the story today is if your revolver has an internal lock don't lock it if your not going to bring the key with you to the range...
Aloha and Mahalo to my fellow Veterans!
P.S. Thanks to gent to my left for letting me try your CZ-75. Dunno if your on the forum or not.

Me and the gf planning to hit KHSC-silhouette side on Pro Bowl Sunday. Any tips for first timers (we've got .22s)? Scopes recommended?I'm older and have a hard time getting my iron sights on those small targets even at 50 yards. I put scopes or red dots on almost everything I take to the metal side. However, it is fun and a huge challenge to try and hit small things out to 75 and 100 yards using iron sights. So I bring a varied mix of guns with and without a scope/red dot. I always take a big revolver out there. If you have one it is a lot of fun to really ring those plates. Bring extra .22 ammo. I always bring about 500 rounds and usually shoot around 400+. Go out and set up during the cold line. Have lots of fun!

I shoot there a lot. Message me, i may go there this Sunday as well. I use scopes. It is 50, 75 and 100 meters. If you shoot the metallic falling targets, it is common courtesy to go out and help stand them up on a cease fire.

The rifle range was even more packed. I heard that the waiting list was something like 2 hours! When I left at around 10 am, the list was about 5 deep. The parking lot was pretty packed though.
yesterday was busy againI was thinking the same thing. People needed to get their fix in or work on whatever they needed to work on. When I was talking story with my friend on the rifle side, I saw lots of people shooting bolt guns. Maybe sighting in or other prep for hunts later this year.

I was at the bullseye pistol range for the first relay. They had an NRA match that took up the whole left side, so the right side was packed. That was actually a good thing about the pistol match as they had more frequent target changes so that they could score their targets.

Headed that way(KHSC) in a little bit...
Spent a few hours and many rounds sighting in my two new hand guns on the pistol range. Thanks to an old friend for helping me out since I'm new to this. I hadn't seen him and/or his wife for 16 years when we last worked together and come to find out they are regulars there on the weekend. Very pleasant surprise. Range itself was not anywhere near capacity so there was plenty of room for a new guy like me. Had a great time and put a hundred rounds through my 1911 and 160 rounds through my revolver. ROs didn't have to yell at me at all! :D
BTW, left at 11:45 and traffic was stopped up from Hawaii Kai to the freeway. Took an extra hour to get home...

http://m.hawaiinewsnow.com/hawaiinewsnow/db/330510/content/zFNqjm23It is one of my best friends. They rushed him to Queens. The shrapnel entered up into his abdomen and hit kidney. I understand it was an arterial wound as well. I heard he was bleeding pretty badly.

shrapnel from next shooter over
The shooter was on the ground next to his bench shooting a 9mm which is how the shrapnel went up into his abdomen.

I was at the pistol range with my wife (was her first time and my second). I purposely put only one round in the mag so she could get her first shot out of her system and take time to relax. After that she asked to shoot 2, then 3, then I couldn't load the mags fast enough, lol. She saw how everyone practiced gun safety and the 2a community was filled with friendly and helpful people. Mahalo to the ROs who were nice enough to give her advice and show her how to grip the pistol! That really made her comfortable. She even asked me to get in her in a class so she could get her own pistol. Mahalo to everyone that was there!
We'll be back on Sunday!

It was a little more crowded than I expected, but I was able to find a bench as soon as I got there. I don't go on the weekends that often, but the last time I went on a Sunday about a month ago, the rifle side was only about half full at around 1 pm. I guess with it being the start of summer, people have more free time. Good to see people enjoying the range.

went back on thursday 6/30/16, got there about 10:15. there was nobody there, i thought i had misread the schedule and maybe it was closed. no, just empty. was talking to one of the range officers, he said that on wednesday, the wait-list didn't clear until 2:30. when the range went hot at 12:00 on thursday, there was probably about 20 target frames down-range. it did pick up a little by the time i left at 1:30. but still, not to the point of a wait-list.
range officers said that this past wednesday high-volume was very unusual. i'm glad i had gotten there early.

Haven't heard a peep either. Last update I see is from March of this year. Big Island might be in for a long wait.

Even though it's on the opposite side of the island from me, I'd still be happy folks would have at least someplace to shoot.

Had a good practice day at the Puuloa range today where we did block time at the 200, 300, 500, and 600 yd lines with some new shooters and bunch from 2ahawaii. Was a sunny but cool breezy day. The 10-20mph crosswinds were playing havoc with our bullets at the 600 so it was good practice with wind calls. I finally got some good 30-06 rounds loaded last night and they worked great today, though one bullet went about a foot low at the 500. Ready for F-Class next month.I Had some fun in that wind today! Crazy gusts.

First time at X-Ring's range today. Free range time for veterans (Thanks, X-Ring!). Great facility, clean and well lit. First rounds (other than factory test fire) through my P320, which ran perfectly and grouped really well. Overall a great Veterans Day so far! :love:Visited x-ring today at 10a and they were humming!

Yes. It seems that it is an unwritten rule or culture I see on that side of the island. I don't observe it in Waianae. I guess people are so tired from driving all the way west - they are in a hurry to get home.

My co-worker told me to take calcium supplements. I looked at the RDA for calcium in your diet and was shocked to find out how much is recommended.
It's a lot....it makes so much sense because your spine is bone, and calcium makes up your bones.
Ever since I started taking the calcium supplements, I have not had any back pain problem. It's been 40 years now.
Don't try consuming more dairy products, you would need to drown yourself in milk and cheese to meet the RDA.

I just got some plain foam from CityMill. Thinking of making something portable that can fit over the 2X8 and glue or Velcro the foam to a 3/4" plywood seat. In the meantime till I get measurements, also bought this cheap foam cushion from Ross.
One of our members does bring a cushion that is about 2" thick with high density foam.
you might want to try standing up more frequently tooI normally set up my spotting scope so I can see sitting down with the eyepiece at the 3 or 9 position. Since its angled, I'll try to set up so I need to stand and look down in the eyepiece to prevent too much sitting on that board.
bulging/herniated disc usually don't like prolonged flexion positions such as sitting.

Pistol side almost empty when I got here at around 11. Was so quiet, I thought they were in a target change. Two groups when I got here. Only the normal weekday area open.There were plenty of tables on the left side. Mitch was there with his son. I was also with my son.

You don't need to remove loaded mags from the bench during cease fire any more.

Always bothered me, too.
Makes more sense to leave the loaded mags on the bench, and take the empties to load behind the line while you wait for the line to be hot again.
Does the rule apply to speed loaders for revolvers, too?
Post by: zippz on June 13, 2017, 07:03:47 PM
Someone goes up to the bench, loads up, and starts firing during the ceasefire. Guess it gives the RSO's a little more time to react. Could be the gun owner by accident, crazy guy that just wants to shoot people, or suicidal people. Didn't make sense to me either.

The no mags rule made more sense than the 5 shot rule.
I have to admit I have intentionally loaded my glock mags to full capacity there.
It was the easiest way to check full functionality of the pistol.

I always take my loaded mags off the bench/table on the Pistol, Rifle or Silhouette side during a seize fire. My thoughts would be why leave your weapon and loaded mags behind for anyone to access. I feel safer taking it with me. I know m,amy leave theirs behind but I can only control what I do, not anyone else.

However, sometimes I wonder more about the ROs watching for things getting stolen as opposed to people touching firearms and shooting someone. There was a time when guns were reported getting stolen and I believe in at least a couple instances they were guns that were on the bench/counter during target changes. I haven't heard of anything like that for a while, but when I did, I wondered how the hell that happened if attentive ROs were there. If one is not supposed to even handle any firearms during the cease fire, how is one going to get away with taking one off the bench/table and walk off with it? Yes, there's some sarcasm in that, but mostly serious.

I tend to go by myself when I go on the weekdays. Mostly due to schedule and a lot of that has to do with me just wanting to get some stuff done without interruption.
Yeah, I did hear about some thefts on the rifle side. I thought at least one or two were of rifles still in cases and located either next to the bench or behind the line. In the behind the line instance, can't fault the ROs for that one, but if someone picked up a rifle bag during a target change, the ROs should've caught that.

If all the shooters walk down to tape/set up/take down their targets, the RSOs aren't looking for anyone to be messing around the tables. I see some of them congregate at the range master's station until the shooters start to return.
Pistol targets are mostly on the 25 yd line, but rifle targets are 50 or 100 yds down range. That's more distance to cover during a cease fire.
For at least a half a minute there might be no eyes on the tables or on range and rifle bags behind the line. Would be simple to snag a firearm and get away with it. >:( >:(

Hmmm. Really want to go this afternoon but the weather is pretty offputting. Not too much fun for me with a strong cross wind. At least it isn't raining I guess

So basically there is no excuse for anybody on this forum to be a junk shooter :rofl:

I think I shot one of your friend’s (that had the scopes to check out) rifles before. It was maybe my second or third trip to the range when I just started shooing ARs, so still quite new to Koko Head. He had a nice 22-250 with this nice trigger but had some unusual aspect about it. I think you had to click the trigger forward first. That and he had a nice Zeiss scope. Anyways, that got me headed down the road to get my own bolt gun. He was also interested in ARs, so he shot my AR as well. Somehow I always remembered that.
Post by: Inspector on January 21, 2018, 06:59:48 PM
Yup. For sure!That's what I love about shooting with all these old guys. They are very approachable and they will encourage you to shoot what they brought. I always learn something from them. What did you think of the hand cannon? :love:

was shooting 357, 45acp, and 22LR. I like to shoot the semiauto on the right side of the bench so it can be caught by the net that's there or at least not go too far for me to retrieve. and i'll shoot the revolver on the left side bc the brass doesn't go anywhere
then next to me on the left arrives a guy who regularly brings tourists there to shoot. I'm assuming this, but its pretty obvious
after not too long of them being there, the lady says "can you move your revolver to the other side bc the powder is hitting me in the face"
so I reply, "ok."
the weird thing is that they are shooting a Ruger Super Redhawk, and a 50AE. so theyre getting hit by their own powder no doubt as well.
but I'm a polite guy, and I dont want to start any conflict with anyone if I can avoid it, especially at the range. If I can solve the problem easily I will.
but it was kind of irritating, bc if she knows that the powder is hitting her, why don't YOU move to the left side of YOUR bench to avoid getting hit by the powder
when there is someone next to me shooting a .50 or 454 or something big, i'll just wait until theyre done shooting their cylinder or mag or whatever, then i'll shoot. no big deal, doesn't bother me.
I get hit by powder all the time, doesn't bother me.
if you don't want to get hit by powder, don't come to the range, lady! >:(
ok, rant over for now.

Anybody know why there were police and ambulance there on Sunday. I was at the trap range and looked across, the ambulance was by the silhouette side and three cop cars between rifle and pistol.I was told that the woman had been hit by something. Don't know what? She had a very minor gash/cut on her temple area. Supposedly went to emergency to be checked out to make sure something was not embedded.
Post by: stangzilla on June 18, 2018, 09:52:41 AM
was shooting my bolt action and AR, shooting only 55 grain .223 that day
when I pick up my targets at the end, I see theres a crack in the left side wood frame and theres a bullet head stuck right in the middle
first I think, that's strange it didn't go all the way through and also I'm surprised I hit the frame bc my optics are all sighted in already
after I go home, I take out the bullet head and weigh it. it weighs 120.8 grains. so its not from my rifles
it was probably from the guy on the right of me shooting an older rifle with iron sights who seemed to be sighting it in that day
he missed his target by over 10 feet! buggah owes me a target frame too!!! >:(

Too bad I don't have a backyard shooting range.
That would be so awesome to have the kids over, BBQ and shoot guns at the same time.

Is the trap range open tomorrow Sat July 13? I heard 2nd Saturday of the month is open to none members.Not to sure if the trap range is open but the skeet range is. It’s going to be the last weekend probably for the rest of the year that it will be open being that the club house is going to get some much improved maintenance to it. I will be running it so come down if you can and enjoy!

There was a couple shooting next to me. I notice all of the guys shots were going low into the 25 yard berm and lower quarter of his cardboard while the top 3/4s was pristine. Find out he just completed the class. I give him some tips and show him how to do the ball and dummy drill, and the shoot one dryfire one drills. Told him to try that for 50 rounds and he should shoot much better. He didn't and kept digging holes in the berm.

I’m thinking I’ll try to bring my dad’s 1903 and M1 Garand out for some fresh air.
For ammo for the Garand, know of any local shops that regularly stock ammo safe for M1 Garands? I haven’t looked into it for a while, but I recall needing ammo that is around 10-20% less velocity than common commercial ammo. I guess I could try to find CMP ammo, but I’d rather try to find locally. If available.

I haven’t looked into it for a while, but I recall needing ammo that is around 10-20% less velocity than common commercial ammo. I guess I could try to find CMP ammo, but I’d rather try to find locally. If available.
I have a case of Federal American Eagle (AE3006M1) for M1 Garand use, I got it from Danger Close Tactical. Let me know what you need I can get it to Inspector or to you, I am the early guy on October 28th if you’d like to plan for then.
Now off to play hookie with Inspector at KHSC.

I haven’t been to rifle range since we could shoot at the gong up the mountain... back then I used to be there at 6:30 to grab a bench. Is it still like that?
Thanks

Planning to go rifle range on Sunday. How early do you guys need to go to make sure you have a bench when the range opens?

I'm heading across the street to vote now. I'll be hitting the range with a coworker about 11am.
I ain't going over to your house while you reload because you don't do progressive.

I shot my turkey.....also left some extra turkeys on the bulletin board.

...I like use Titegroup in the 45 Colt because I found that it ignites no matter where it is in the case without having to use a filler and it is still consistent. I always worry about small powder charges in large cases. :thumbsup:

My friend told me to avoid Sunday if possible. So I went to check my rifle ammo yesterday.
There were plenty of open rifle benches. Fired 5 shots and confirmed everything was great.
Then I went to the pistol side.
I was just about the only person who was there. Fired off about 40 rounds.
Ammo, sights, gun and shooter all checked ok. It was a nice day.
I might go again today about 2pm.

An early version of the phased plasma series. ..Included the original holster.
Being less efficient than it's modern versions, it required a stationary power source consuming about 400 watts.

Yup. But ask first because a RO wants to watch you dry fire a few times just to make sure you're safe. I was gonna do IWB.

My usual time to go is about 10:30. The early birds start clearing out, and the after-lunch crowd hasn't arrived. Normally don't have to wait. If there is a list, it goes quickly -- usually no longer wait than the next target change.

Fun listening to some old timers talking story. Current story is how they think people are pussies for wearing ear pro. They are literally shouting at each other from like 5 feet away from each other. I can hear them loud and clear and I’m pretty far away. ;D
Reminds me of the scene from Black Hawk Down. “WHAT?!?!”

Post by: changemyoil66 on September 20, 2019, 01:27:30 PM
Cost is more, but easier to work on fine tuning because 808GC has a work bench area.
KHSC
50rds 9mm-$12
Gas-$5
Time at least 2 hours
808GC
50rds 9,,-$26
Lane fee $10
No gas (walking)
Estimate time 15mins
So $17 vs $36. I can spare the $19 and save 2 hours. Plus I can practice my IWB draw.

I just finished loading some 148gr WC for 38SPL. Trying to keep them around 750fps. I have some loaded with Trail Boss as well. Have not tried them yet.
I have a CCW class on Saturday and I need to shoot 50 rounds with my SD pistol. I guess to prove I can hit something? It’s my Model 10 DAO. I loaded some 158gr SWC with Titegroup that hits to POA.

I showed the bacķwards bullet to the RO and he told me to go home and never come back.
But later he said I could still shoot because I'm a nice guy.
...
I got there around 2pm and it was very crowded.
To promote social distancing, only even number lanes are used.
The RO told me they counted 11 instructors holding safety affidavit classes yesterday.
I saw Macsak there too. I was shooting next to a great instructor with about 6 students.
He was very knowledgeable and competent and I enjoyed chatting with his students while they were waiting for their turn.
I discovered that wearing a face mask makes my shooting glasses get all fogged up.
The new range rules chases everybody out of the place at 4:15 and the chain is locked thereafter.
Overall, it was great to pull a trigger again. The weather was perfect. It felt good to see new people learning about safe gun ownership.

How busy is the rifle side at Koko Head these days? Haven't gone to the range in ages but looking to get back into it. I remember awhile back friends saying how packed it would get, having to go early, etc.
I've been going on Saturday afternoons and the rifle side is more than half empty, sometimes only 1/4 of the benches are being used. Haven't gone on a Sunday for a few years as it was always packed with a waiting list practically all day. I recall guys going at 5:00am on Sundays to reserve a bench.

Had a mishap with someone else's reloads though. Looks like it was a missed\low charge and the primer was enough to push the bullet into the barrel just enough to lock the revolver up. Lucky it happened in the dw, after looking at it was decided to remove the barrel since it's easy in the dw as opposed to the Smith. After he got the round out the bullet was still partially seated in the case. Really lucky that this happened on the last round and that the bullet didn't go partway into barrel letting a next round to chamber.
We took it as learning experience :thumbsup:
And we will most likely be at it again next week. I have 4 revolvers thats getting out of jail on thu :geekdanc: 3 smiths and 1 ruger.

Went today nov 1. Pistol target side. Came early 730 was able to get a spot. by the time the line went hot at 8am had waiting list. Was a good day. Tested out some 38 special reloads my cousin did (first time reloader) out of 100 4 was a no go. Looked like primer was seated too deep. Light firing pin dimples. There were more that looked deep seated but went off in single action on second go round. Was great to finally get out and shoot. My cuz was excited too because he got to fire his new to him dan wesson revolvers along with my model 19 all 6" barrels. I did notice that factory 357 is a bit more snappy in the k frame then my old man n frame 28 highway patrolman.My experience with primers being set too deep is extremely rare. It is is usually caused by using a pocket reamer that is not the type that keeps one from going too deep and being used too much. I have one of these and it is over 40 years old. Most pocket reamers are set so you cannot go too deep. I assume the primers used are of the correct size. If it turns out the primers are set too deep then I would discard the brass. There are also very hard primers such that a pistol may have difficulty striking it hard enough to set it off. For instance, someone may have used a small rifle primer that is designed for use in an AR type rifle that has a floating firing pin. Also, some European and Russian primers are known to be more difficult to set off. These primers use a much harder cup and some pistols may have a hard time properly striking them. One more thing I have noticed and that is Winchester primers have been less reliable than other brands. Winchester usually uses brass cups instead of the silver colored cups. I bought a case of them once and probably 5 or 6 out of every 1,000 never ignited even when hit well.

There is one other thing to consider and is something I have found to happen more often in revolvers, and that is a weak hammer spring or the hammer spring tension is set too soft. This happens sometimes when a revolver has had a trigger job and the trigger is set too light. It could be a light spring was put in or too light of a setting. With SA/DA revolvers, the hammer does not come back as far when shot in DA mode. If you cock the hammer and use it in SA mode it brings the hammer back farther allowing more energy to hit the primer than in DA mode. If the hammer spring is too weak, or the hammer spring tension is set too soft you will see light hammer strikes more often in DA mode as in SA mode. And that can happen in SA mode as well but is less likely. The S&W revolvers have a hammer spring tension screw that can and does back out during shooting and can cause light hammer strikes. It will be more noticeable in DA mode first and then you might start seeing it in SA mode. I have had it happen to almost every one of my S&W revolvers. It is an easy fix. Remove the grips and screw the tension set screw back in.
Overall I would say that primers being set too low is something to check but it is more likely one of the other things I mentioned. I would look at those things first such as harder primers and/or weaker hammer springs. It could also be a combination of these things as well.
One thing I learned to do during reloading is to look into every single case before setting the bullet. Make sure you have powder in there and that the powder is at the same level as all the other cases. This helps prevent squib loads.
I hope this helps!

Thanks for the insight. I ll pass it along to my cuz. and will check out the suggestions in a process of elimination. Can most likely rule out a weak hammer spring as all 3 revolvers set off the factory ammo we brought %100 , and the only way I run my revolver is with tension screw all the way in and loctited. I checked that they were still set that way when I cleaned them after the range.
Will be def checking out his pocket reamer and his primers. I think he bought winchester's. And he bought both the pistol primers and rifle primers so he could use them for double duty when it came to reloading 223. If time permits going to try those reloads next week.
Since he is a rookie reloader he is paranoid about everything. Double\triple checking his work. Which is a good thing. All the reloads he made was at a recommended starting charge. Felt like shooting a pellet gun. Next run hes gonna roll 38 +p pressures as out all the factory rounds we shot we had the most fun with those. He's going to use the 38 spcl loads for when his wife and kids want to shoot. And I think I will save the factory 357 loads for my ruger redhawk and n frames.
In hindsight we should have separated the spent brass that needed the second strike and the 4 rounds that were a no go so we could track and determine if we should toss it.
Well bumbai. We both learning :thumbsup:

Should be. Got this from the website:
Silhouette Range Closed: Wednesday, Dec. 9 – Wednesday, Dec. 16 UPDATE: closure from Wednesday, Dec. 16 - Wednesday, Dec. 23
Looks like everything for pushed back a week. Look at the general board for notices from Macsak. He’s on it.

Went back to the range today with a couple of new loads using 4.2 grains of trail Boss for a light target load and 5.5 grains of Unique for a low end magnum load. Both loads were under a 158gr LSWC powder coated boolit.
Both targets are 40 rounds each at 30’ two handed firing single action slow fire. The first target are the target loads and second target are the magnum loads.

I went to the range on Tuesday using some new boolits someone gave me. BIG mistake. They were for 38 Special but I thought I would use them in my 357 Magnum. After loading 15 I did all the usual checks of OAL and dropping them into the cylinder and everything was VERY close to being too long but I felt comfortable with them. I loaded 200. On the 21st round my revolver jammed. I couldn’t open the cylinder either. After looking I found a round that was a blonde hair too long. I used a range rod and a hammer to tap the boolit in a tad so I could open the cylinder. After measuring it, I went through and there were a few more. The boolit itself was a lot longer from the crimp groove to the tip than my usual boolits. So I took apart 179 and reloaded them with my usual preferred boolit.

i'm going to try and go Christmas eve, not sure i'm going to make it bc might have last minute gifts to round up but if I can make it i'll go pistol side shoot the 1911 but conserve ammo. 50-75 rounds at most. maybe i'll take the 22 pistol too that way I can make it rain lead down range :geekdanc:I went to the range today. I brought my Glock 17 with the Advantage Arms .22 conversion kit. I fired 240 rounds today. All rapid fire. I am getting better at this. Practicing with my Glock 17 actually helps when I fire 9mm in rapid fire. It also helps since I have put better sights on it. I’m still not as fast as I would like but I think I am as accurate as I should be. So now it is just more practice and time to better my times.
Bottom line is I made it rain lead today! :rofl:

Did they make you wait for the scheduled cease fire before collecting your target? :rofl:

LOL
right after you left, my co-worker went there and his target got blown away by the wind also.
I try to glue my paper target to the cardboard a few hours before going out.
I also use glue clamps to secure the wood to the metal carrier.

I might go this afternoon to commemorate the new potus.

I went to the range today to shoot my Ruger SP-101 in 9mm for the first time. I just got this from my nephew. I used to own one just like it and sold it and have been kicking myself ever since. So the fact I was able to buy it from him means a lot to me. Here are a couple of pics. Shot at 21’ in double action. The trigger on it is not very good in double action and I had a hard time seeing the front sight. The target is the first 5 shots.
Oh, and the ammo I used? Remanufactured reloads. :rofl: My brother came out from SoCal to visit a few weeks ago and brought me a coffee can of my father’s reloads. Since he didn’t put a date on them I have no idea how old they are and what powder was used. Though he was using Herco and Bullseye back then. I took a bunch of them apart and discovered the bullet is a Sierra 125gr FMJ. I could not ID the powder. It doesn’t look like the Bullseye I have so it is probably Herco. And he had other ammo cans with similar reloads in them dating any where from 25 years to 40 year old. So I decided to disassemble them, resize the case with primer still intact (Took out the decapping pin) and reloaded them with Unique and the Sierra FMJ. I loaded 50 and all 50 went bang. So now I have a coffee can full of these to take a part.

Post by: Flapp_Jackson on February 20, 2021, 09:11:56 PM

Sounds like you mounted it 90 degrees off.
If adjusting it for windage did nothing, then you either have the scope mounted with the windage line turned up/down (the direction for elevation), and the elevation line where windage should be (left/right) -- or you were adjusting the wrong dial.
Line the scope up on a point on the wall in your house and move the dials. See where the crosshairs move. Make sure the rifle is stationary -- in a vice, between some books, etc. if the dials cause the movement to be opposite what you expected (windage adjustment causes elevation change), then your scope is canted 90 degrees. Rotate it so the crosshairs that were vertical are now horizontal.
If the reticle is a plain set of lines without BDC or other markings, it's easy for a novice to mount it wrong without checking the adjustments to verify.
There are ways to make sure the rifle and scope are parallel, and the elevation line in the reticle is perpendicular to the plane of the rifle. No expensive tools needed. If you need help, you should start a fresh thread.
My other guess is you mounted it so crooked, the adjustment can't make that large of a correction. If the rings are mounted properly, that shouldn't happen.

I am blessed to have 4 wonderful children who will come to my house to celebrate dad's day.
Even my genetically imperfect daughter will be there. Perhaps she will create a dessert like this one that she made last year.
I'm sure glad we decided not to abort that defective baby 20 years ago.

Anyone know if the silhouette side will be open this Sunday the 4th of July? Mahalo :shaka:The KHSC website says the silhouette range is closed on holidays. Since the actual holiday is Monday the 5th, I'd guess the silhouette side is open Sunday. You could call and ask Saturday or Sunday if you want to be sure. (808) 768-6720 is the number for the range.
Although Monday is normally a "Closed" day for the range, KHSC will be open in observance of Independence Day July 5th. Only the rifle and pistol ranges will be open. Hours are 8am - 4pm.

When I go to the pistol side I see the same guy come and shoot his .22 rifle. I always wondered if they would let someone shoot a .357 or .44 magnum lever gun at pistol.....
My friend used to shoot his 22 carbine on the pistol side.
Pretty sure they won't allow larger caliber rifles on the pistol side.
I had to chronograph my 9mm carbine on the rifle side.
If I remember to, I'll ask the RO to clarify this today.

Left and center were my sons on the rifle. Center I believe he was walking it in by adjusting his point of aim. The other was my youngest, if 32 could be consider young. He hasn't been out shooting in 14 years. Other test groups were under splatter target. They wanted to compete with who was buying lunch. Yes he was 18 when he deployed to Iraq.

It was such a pleasant experience.
Today, I went to KHSC to shoot pistol for the first time since they reopened the range.
I went in the afternoon without any reservation. It was about half full.
Muscles felt weak and shaky. But then the R.O. told me that other folks told him the exact same thing.
The guys were happy to see me back. Good times....
Except for the age-related muscle pains. LOL.

It was empty at first, then it got kind of crowded.
Half of the pistol-side was closed because the guys started the weekly wash down early.

My goal is to go every week, especially since I retired and would rather run away to the range than paint the house. LOL :rofl:
This past weekend I went on Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday was great because I ended up helping a cute newbie girl with her SW Shield and Glock 34...Not joking...she bought them.
I think I'm in love. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Kaiwi Coast Run will affect traffic going to the range early on Sunday morning.
I think it clears up pretty quick though, unlike the marathon.

Getting better.
I noted it takes me 1 hr. and 20 minutes (approx) round trip to and from the range. The shooting session is 1 hr. and 30 minutes.

I went in about 1:30.
Not many people there. Towards the end, only had 2 guys.
The RSO's there are pushing me to join them as an RSO.
I'm thinking about it. But like you said, it's about a 1-1/2 hour round trip.

That would be great, doing something you love to do part time since your recent retirement. Although I do wonder how you and the other RSO's will get shooting time?

The rso can shoot a little while working.
It would be like taking a lunch break or bathroom break.
Somebody else should be there.

I played with ammo for more than 43 years now. I discovered that small guns don't necessarily = more recoil. Thimk about it. When you shorten the bbl, you reduce the velocity. If you reduce the velocity, you reduce recoil. You noted the big fireball which indicates a slower burning propellant. Slower burn rate propellants need bbl length to allow the powder time to push the projectile. In a nutshell, it's not a linear relationship and yes...size DOES matter. Hahaha :shaka:
Ps. Yes I have my chronograph data from the last 40+ years.

I’ve also made training ammo with 147 coated cast projectiles that mimic velocity and recoil, so I could practice at a lesser cost.

There are certain ammo that work better in short barreled carry pieces. Personally I use 147 gr off the tests from what I’ve watched from the shootingthebull410 series. He’s pretty thorough in his testing. And the results look pretty good.....

This morning 0800 had more than a few empty spots at pistol side. Many stay to the next time slot at 0920
I going tomorrow too. Gotta burn more ammo :geekdanc:
Have fun! :shaka:
Yeah, the times I went at 9:20 and 8:00 time slots seems like all positions were taken. When I had the 9:20 slots and I get done there are a lot of people waiting.
So it seems mornings are busy and afternoons not so much. So if I go in the afternoons I still plan to book a timeslot. Just in case.

I gotta get out there earlier. I did test my house gun and fired off the ammo that was in the mag for the last year or two. Happy to report no malfunctions and kept all the shots where they should go. I need to get a new house gun. This old SW is good but the tritium sights are so old they are dim. My so.cal. buddy said I should send it to Novak for a sight and action job. Maybe that's a good idea. It's more than 30 years old. I acquired it when the pistol range was still facing Hanauma Bay. It was good to see Mac and ambubadger and jl808 again. I also got to meet with the new rangemaster. He seems like a good guy and I'm looking forward to reopening the facility to It's full potential.

Reserved a lane at Kokohead for this weekend. Anybody know the best way to shoot a Garand with the “5 rounds at a time” rule? I was thinking just putting the en bloc in and ejecting 3 rounds. Not sure if the RSOs frown on that or anything.

Before they used to look past that rule for the Garand. As long as you’re not rapid firing. Not sure how it is now.

You can put 5 rounds in a 8 round clip, you just have to hold the rounds in while you load the rifle. There are also 5 round clips for competition use or hunting.

They had to shut down the range today to rescue someone. I guess they were afraid of someone with a 50 cal might take a shot at the helicopter.
I also saw zip out there shooting.
They sent an officer down to shut down the range due to the rescue. I wonder how much it cost the heli to fly? It took awhile. Was windy. Were you on rifle side? :shaka:

I also wanted to shoot my ammo that isn't stored in a air tight ammo can. I usually shoot this ammo once a year, but with covid and range closed, I haven't. So about 4 years the ammo was out in the open air. It all functioned correctly, from 223, 9mm and 45acp.
Got to shoot the 1911 and I missed it as my range time with her was limited since I purchased her.

And like the children, given to foster people (LE?) who end up neglecting them anyway. Like the KPD Chief that likes to leave his firearm in the bathroom after he takes a shiite.
Or the HPD officer that left his rifle unattended.
Or the HPD officer that got his "equipment" stolen. Translation: firearm.
Yep if or when taken away, our firearms are in good hands.

They have open carry and concealed carry privileges. Plus they are within reach of the weapon, so they have immediate control of it.
Even if there were special Places to Keep laws for that, in this instance the weapon was not intentionally left unattended.
A better law would include negligence or recklessness, where they do something they know they should not do. We have way too many laws specifically for guns when a broader statute already exists or should be created.
Why is robbery with a firearm considered a worse crime than robbery using brute strength or a metal pipe? Why not make the laws against all robberies as serious as they do armed robberies?

Me too. Last week was shooting some pretty hot 240 grain ammo and cut the web of my hand. With the hogue grip it's a little better. But now I will reload at reduced power for this gun. Probably better for my hand and less stress on the gun too. Maybe some 180 grain LSWCHP at reduced power. 44 minus P ammo ;)

Was at the range most of the day yesterday and got calls/text from folks that were planning on joining us that traffic was snarled from both directions. Heard a bunch of sirens and heard rumors that "someone jumped".
Additionally, noticed that traffic at Hanauma Bay also getting sketchy and borderline dangerous as folks queue up ahead of the parking lot opening. The park staff doing a good job of keeping folks from blocking the entrance at the highway, but results in folks either A) parking on the side away from the entrance or B) doing U-turns (and doing their best Austin Powers) along the highway. . .

The first bullet is my hand cast bullet using a mold made by Miha Previc in Slovenia. It is sized to 0.452 dia and lubricated with my own blend of Hawaiian beeswax and Alox2138F.
The second bullet is a soft swaged target hollow point .
The third is a polymer coated bullet from Blue

Weather permitting, I'm heading out to test these new loads today. I started using my old stash of powder since the price of powder became so high. These loads used Bullseye powder which has been sitting around for 30 years.

I also heard that the range would be closed during construction or renovation in December. That's all I know.

At the firing line:
1. Admin remove the magazine from the gun while in the holster (to avoid having more than 5 rounds in the gun when unholstered)
2. Remove holster from your belt (with gun still inside)
3. point gun/holster downrange and remove gun from holster without muzzling support hand. I grab the holster bellow the trigger guard and ease it off the gun. As I remove it, I rotate the holster down (pointing to the ground or perpendicular to the gun barrel) while keeping the gun pointed downrange. This prevents the support hand getting infront of the gun muzzle.
4. Unload & clear, lock slide back, and verify clear.

Perhaps if you shot a few holes in the table-target stand they wouldn't have upcycled it. :rofl:I would have just reclaimed the table and used it as my target stand. It'll be about like the stand he wound up using -- cardboard on top to support the target.
I would have made sure to hit the wooden stand a few times before returning it to the office.
Once the others see the bullet holes, i doubt anyone will want to say anything negative about using that "table".
In fact, you might find they are eager to return the stand with their apologies!

I saw a lot of my old shooting buddies at the gun show last week. A lot of them don't go out to shoot any more. I told them....
USE IT OR LOSE IT
Common sense, right? The city has to PAY for about a half dozen guys to open the range.
The city will adjust facilities to meet public demand.
Eg. Pickleball!!!

Totally understand the use it or lose it example. For some people, the only time they can use it is on Holidays because of work. That one little option would be a deal breaker for some people who need their regular days off to tend to family matters. (if they even have those days off at all. Many work more than one job.)
In my particular case it would give me a better chance to go out to shoot. I could go to the range on weekends however it has to compete with unfinished chores and other matters left unattended during the week when wife and I baby sit the grandson and great-grandson.
My daughter and grandaughter, as teachers, get practically all the Holidays off..... :rofl: So it would be a play day for me. :thumbsup:

Short day…closed early due to fire mountainside of action bay
Darn, that fireball ammo!!
:geekdanc: :shake:
Post by: changemyoil66 on August 04, 2025, 08:26:07 AM
While driving away toward HK, we could see the smoke go all the way to Hanauma Bay area. Which is why the road was shut down due to poor visibiity.
Here's what I think will happen next.
Due to the hot topic of wild fires, the range will be closed until a brush fire expert can do an assessment. Then another expert will have to examine what precautions can be taken to avoid this. Since there are no fire hydrants at the range and the water fountain at the bay doesn't even work, it will be:
Cut the dead/dry vegetation and maintain it.
Water the vegetation to keep it green, which means to install more water lines.
Combo of both.
This would mean the range itself will be shut down and maybe the rifle/handgun side possibly be open later while the bays remain closed.
The only saving grace would be that HPD uses the bays.
I hope I'm wrong for the above.
IDK what kind of ammo was being used that started the fire as the berm was blocking my view. But using tracers is not allowed. And since it began on the mountain, i highly doubt someone was smoking and able to flick their cig that far up. IDK what group was in that bay either.

Post by: QUIETShooter on August 04, 2025, 10:35:29 AM
Then a city council special meeting to assess the assessment and consult each other on the consultation.
Then an approval of the recommendation of the mainland firm's assessment and consultation after consulting the finance committee as to how they can use taxpayers money to pay for their special session and the firm's fees.
After some push back from certain "special interest" groups and years of back and forth bullsh*t, it will be deemed that the whole fricken crater be converted to a pickle ball court and overflow parking for the more profitable Hanauma Bay tourist trap.
All this is just my pure speculation, of course, with no evidence to back up anything except my observations in the past watching things unfold when it comes to City and County. ::)

I dunno what happened, but could be a few possibilities.
Could be someone having a ND into the brush on the side berm and burning powder set it off. Or someone was shooting steel plates with steel bullets near the brush. Or non-firearm related reason.
I always have two fire extinguishers on the range when I RSO. People think I'm paranoid but....

A simple spark from any bullet hitting any rock, piece of metal (like a target stand pipe), etc. could have caused it. It only takes air, fuel and heat to start a fire.

could a head be hot enough to start a fire? I know I've had 2nd degree burns with brass, but it never just stays as I do the wiggle to move it. Maybe 3rd degree burns if you let the hot brass stay in 1 spot.

Maybe 3rd degree burns if you let the hot brass stay in 1 spot.If the kindling and conditions are right (hot, dry day with gentle breezes), something as small as a spark of static electricity can start it. Stronger winds mean that once it's started, conditions favor it spreading faster if plenty of fuel (dry plant material) is present.
Then you have to think about accelerants. Each time a shot is fired, combustible powder is expelled along with the projectile. Not all off it is burned, so if over time, a small amount of powder accumulated where the ignition point is, that powder could help get things started. I figure most of the powder is washed away when it rains, but it's been very dry lately. Just a thought.

Then you have to think about accelerants. Each time a shot is fired, combustible powder is expelled along with the projectile. Not all off it is burned, so if over time, a small amount of powder accumulated where the ignition point is, that powder could help get things started.

I set 808GC on fire once. I suspect burning powder touched the floor igniting the unburnt powder. A ring of fire with flames 3ft high slowly expanded out. It was cool.
Another possibility is someone was shooting tracers or incendiary rounds. Or a flare gun.

What if a fire were to start behind the rifle/pistol range.
Would that not burn up the rail tracks going up to the lookout?
People might get stuck on top of the hill.
People might have to run either up or down the tracks to escape the fire.

Pondering the fire yesterday....

That happened years ago when someone shot a flare gun at the range.

I told this story before.
About 45 years ago when the pistol range was on the Hanauma Bay side, a black powder patch set a small fire on the grass. It was also a very hot summer day. At that time, the range was run by hpd. One of the cops dragged a hose out and flooded the lawn.
Apparently there was an accumulation of unburnt powder under the grass which continued to burn under the water. It took quite a while for the bubbling fire to stop. That's why I tell people not to throw old powder on the grass as fertilizer, because it doesn't really deteriorate.
This doesn't have anything to do with the fire yesterday, but it's a cool story.

Pondering the fire yesterday....There are a couple of other ways to get up and down Koko Head besides the stairs . . . hiking the ridge.
