I brought the page up in a Linux virtual machine.  I don't see any payloads being pushed to the VM.

It's very possible this is a bogus report.  The banner that popped up said this site had been reported as malicious. 

Anti-gun people wouldn't stoop to trying to screw with gun-related websites, would they?   :wtf:

So, is there something you need from the site?  Schedule?

Did some more looking.

** WARNING ** Not work or kid friendly -- just Google returns, but very explicit.

Try tyoping this link (takes you to Google).  Make sure the URL starts with "site:", not "http:" :

site:hawaiipracicalshooters.org

or click here:

https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&q=site%3Ahawaiipracticalshooters.org&oq=site%3Ahawaiipracticalshooters.org&gs_l=serp.3...13796.16804.0.17841.14.13.0.0.0.0.342.1505.0j10j0j1.11.0....0...1c.1.64.serp..4.0.0.RORa4iT8m00

I tried entering some of those URLs, and they do not exist.

Looks like someone created a bunch of bogus links that look like they are part of the main page and reported them as malicious to Google.  There's nothing I can see that's malicious -- other than effectively shutting down the site.

The site is created using Joomla!, and lots of parts look like a work in progress.  Either they were hacked, or they are in the process of porting, redesigning or restoring the site.

I hate people who think it's okay to harass people like this.  These activities should be covered under the second amendment.  It interferes with the lawful enjoyment and practice of a Constitutional right.

All regular matches use the same registration site:

https://practiscore.com/ <some name> /register

Each event has its own URL for registering with the event name added in place of <some name>  in the address.

Bottom line -- even if you go there and ignore the warnings, the site overall is a mess.

As far as info is concerned...

Great club!  Safe, fun, well-run matches.  Great bunch of shooters, awesome way to spend a weekend day.  USPSA affiliated.

Any details you're looking for?
