I'll be shooting a training course tomorrow. Been looking forward to this course for a while, both for the shooting as well as a chance to "get away from it all". Reminding myself why I enjoy shooting and forget about all the crap going on in the media right now.
If you're going shooting, what are you gonna be shooting?
For me, it will be my Glock 17 and maybe PPQ.
Have a great weekend all! Hope you enjoy the nice weather!

Who's going shooting this weekend? Understand that it's Easter Weekend, so many of you will be super busy with family stuff. Some of you are probably headed to the range today.

Ill be RSO at Kbay :(Well, you're enabling others to enjoy shooting, so :thumbsup:
When I used to RSO at SRGC, I often would be able to shoot near the end of the range day. Even here and there when members would "insist" I try their new (insert firearm).

What's going on there? Just open range? I thought they had something like a "family and friends Friday". A couple of friends have been trying to get me to shoot with them out there for a while. One still lives on base. I just haven't been able to make it out on the days they have it.
Won't be doing any for a while. Toooooooooooo Busy! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(:(

I have shot my ARs in pouring rain and snow, but never purposely dumped it in water. I've seen other (including instructors) do stuff like bury their handgun in snow, take it out and then shoot them. Funny stuff. I wish I got some of that on video.

The Commander of Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) has been enforcing the regulations regarding the recreational shooting at Kbay. The Puuloa Rifle and Pistol Club (PRPC) still holds a charter with the Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) to operate on base at Puuloa and KBay. PRPC must follow all base regulations regarding the operations on MCBH to include certified OIC/RSO personnel, required beach guards, certified emergency medical personnel, with aid bag, cervical collar, designated safety vehicles, and casualty litter. Proof of rifle or pistol registration is required.This will be the first time in close to 20 years that PRPC will be using KBay Ranges.
PRPC does not conduct an "open" range. We primarily conduct a multiple relay known distance live fire using the NRA/CMP National Match Course of fire. 200 yards slowfire, 200 yards rapid fire, 300 yards rapid fire, 500/600 yards slow fire.
Our website is www.puuloa.com
Post by: rklapp on March 30, 2018, 01:44:17 PM
I wouldn't mind dumping my AK VEPR in the mud. Has me curious.
I've been busy in Hilo this week so no ammo loaded yet. Lots of beach cleanups going on and I've been feeling the need for beach time lately. Probably from all the rain we've been having.

Now if there was a way to get something like this started at Pohakuloa. Both army and Marine Corps use the range facility. Cannot believe the ranges are all that crowded that civilians could not be accommodated. No safety boats needed, etc.

I think I know what you reloading/creating! Let me know how it comes out.I had my short list of two cartridges to reload today. I wanted to reload the obsolete 7.62x39R and I wanted to reload the obsolete 7.55x53.5 Swiss for the first time. I started the first cartridge (7.62x39R) and the wife interrupted me for an hour or so. And just as I was finishing up the first cartridge (only 50 rounds) A very old friend from High School called. We have not talked for about 5 years. Right after I hung up another friend called. By the time I was done talking I no longer had time to start working on the Swiss cartridge.
I have all the components. I have done all the research. Having the time to get to it is the hard part. I'll try and get to it next weekend. On a positive note I think my reduced loads for the K31 7.5x55 Swiss may actually work. I have some research on that to do to verify this. I need to do some rifle and brass cleaning on top of all of this.

Kbay range cut short due to thunderstorms on the way.
Yup, just my luck right before my relay.
At least I got to see the range and what to expect. Looking forward to shooting there in some wind. The layout will do some some up/down drafts with the wind. Should be good learning experience.
Went to Koko Head this morning for short practice session. Was pretty empty.

Looks like you guys had fun. Anyone can go shoot there? Or gotta be military?Puuloa Rifle and Pistol Club is a military Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR) organization chartered under Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS). All non-DOD participants need to be sponsored on base by a military member. All rifles or pistols need proof of military or HPD registration. Range 1 at Kaneohe has only 6 known distance firing points, the amount of shooters will be limited.

I tweaked my ankle just before the shooting class started. It didn't bother me while were shooting, but last night, I guess I tweaked it again and could barely walk around the house until I iced it. Damn, getting old sucks. . .

my ankle isn't much better.
I had some plantar fasciitis a few months ago that lasted for 4 months. this sprained ankle feels worse, and probably re-aggravated my plantar fasciitis. doesn't help that I'm on my feet 10 hours per day at work either.

When it took a while, I figured something was up. Then next things I know, I get an email that a new "warranty replacement" unit was already shipped out. It even included the standard mount, which mine didn't have.

This month has been crazy for me too and next month somewhat as well. So taking some time this weekend to get some range time in.

Have a new carbine to zero the red dot. This build is the setup I’ve wanted for a while. Sort of the lessons learned over the years from my different ARs and put together in one gun. Thanks to the help of a friend (also 2a member), will have this gun in a training class next weekend. Also going to rezero the dot that I shot last weekend. Took off the dot to change the muzzle device. The mount is supposed to have excellent reviews for RTZ, but never really tested this one since it has pretty much been in the same fun since I got it.
Anyone else headed out on this cloudy weekend?
Post by: Inspector on April 28, 2018, 11:08:55 AM
Headed back to the range this weekend. Thinking tomorrow morning.Will be there tomorrow morning on the rifle side at bench 94. Stop on by if you have a few minutes. I am going to have my magnetosphere Chrono out if you want to test a load or two.

Zeroed the EoTech on the new Colt build pretty quick. I had moved the front sight back one position, so confirmed zero on the irons. After I got home, I decided to push the front sight back two positions because of the position of the light. So will likely have to confirm zero on that later, but should be good for my class coming up next weekend. Should be a quick confirm, assuming things don’t get jostled much on the flight.
Shot with the black powder guys and got to enjoy a variety of guns. An Egyptian 7.62x39, a 45-120 double barrel rifle and a Ruger Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor (I believe). All sweet guns. Has me wanting to expand my collection.
The black powder guys are awesome to shoot with, as always. Even got them to shoot my ARs. That was awesome for me too as I wanted to experience the effect of two comps from an observer position. The AFAB was more mellow than I thought. It was actually slightly louder from a 45 degrees angle to the rear than it was directly to the side of the muzzle. The SLR comp was louder than I thought. Overall not bad though. Got to shoot the Colt/AFAB standing and shooting the steel at 100 yards, the dot didn’t move much off of the plate. Didn’t try the LMT/SLR comp standing.

First time traveling with Hawaiian with a firearm and ammo. Printed their info out and there's a notice to call their reservation department to notify them that I will be traveling with a firearm. So called this morning and got a guy that was reading from the website. Almost put me to sleep. But I had to laugh at the first thing the guy said was "To clarify, you are stating your intention to travel with your firearm in your checked luggage, and NOT in your carry on".

But was surprisingly quite mild. I think it kicked less than a pump shotgun with even birdshot. The weight of the gun really seemed to tame the recoil. I was able to get a hit on the 50 yard plate with the guidance on the hold. ;D

Study?I have to have certain certifications in order to perform my job. And unfortunately, they need to be renewed every few years. Some require retesting. And the one I am currently working on requires a retest. At least I know that this will be the last time I have to do this. Next year, the big ones come up for renewal. That will probably take up to 40 hours of my time on the weekends and evenings in order to renew. But again it will be the last time I have to do it. I am getting tired of all the BS in re-certification. It all comes down to taking my $. The more certifications I have the more $ it takes to re-certify. And every year they raise the prices.

I have to have certain certifications in order to perform my job. And unfortunately, they need to be renewed every few years. Some require retesting. And the one I am currently working on requires a retest. At least I know that this will be the last time I have to do this. Next year, the big ones come up for renewal. That will probably take up to 40 hours of my time on the weekends and evenings in order to renew. But again it will be the last time I have to do it. I am getting tired of all the BS in re-certification. It all comes down to taking my $. The more certifications I have the more $ it takes to re-certify. And every year they raise the prices.I see. I have to renew my PE license every 2 years. The Hawaii license is covered by work, but I keep my mainland licenses on my own dime. Luckily, no further testing.
Have a great time in Japan!!! Is it for work or pleasure?
The licensing fee for Hawaii is strange. Half of the fee is for the license and the other half goes into what they refer to a "Compliance Resolution Fund". Not sure what that is, but seems like they are building a sort of insurance account to resolve issues that may arise. But that's what E&O insurance is for.
The trip is for vacation. ;D

Hawaii Revised Statutes
TITLE 24. INSURANCE
431. Insurance Code
431:2-215 Deposits to compliance resolution fund.
Quote
All sums transferred from the insurance division into the compliance resolution fund may be expended by the commissioner to carry out the commissioner's duties and obligations under title 24.
It's basically a fee that's used for the administration and overhead of the insurance commission. This fund keeps the monies collected from winding up in the General Fund.

After this weekend, I might not shoot for a while as well. Have a trip to Japan coming up in a few weeks.Same for me. After this weekend I am gone for the next 6 weeks or so. WA DC then OCONUS. I really don't enjoy the long plane rides.

Wife’s going to Guam this summer for Red Cross, but she’s used to the long flights to the Philippines.This may become a part of my travel itinerary. Even with customs, I actually prefer heading west as opposed to going east.

Saturday, weather permitting, i'll test out some 308 reloads
my first rifle reloads. Hornady SST 165 and 180 grain projectiles.
was a productive day. shooting not where I want it to be. but I learned from this
i'll stick with the 165 grain projectiles for now, work up the load a little and retest in a few weeks

my 308 does well with the GMM 168 grain too.
mine is a Ruger American predator. 18" barrel, 1:10 twist rate
hoping to get better groups than with the GMM. we'll see how it goes

my 308 does well with the GMM 168 grain too.I have a Rem 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD in .308. It's a pretty heavy gun, but super fun to shoot. I've been wanting to change out the stock and trigger for some time, but prioritized other stuff.

I have shot the Ruger Precision in 6.5 cm and that's a sweet gun. If I were to start reloading, the 6.5-6.8 range of calibers is something I would definitely look into.
Looking forward to seeing how things go for you.

After a break, I'm planning on zeroing irons and dot on the Colt that I had to replace the muzzle device on and also testing and zeroing for my AK project! Haven't shot in a while and really looking forward to shooting the AK and seeing how this new gun shoots. I wish I could get the Colt onto the action bay range, but that will have to wait till another training day.

Great day at the range. Shot with the black powder guys and then hung out with the LIFE/HRA folks qualifying. Weather was spotty, but overall a great day enjoying shooting and sharing with like minded folks.Thanks for hangin’ out wit us old guys! That AK you have is the first AK I really enjoyed shooting. It was definately a black gun day.

pretty much every person that came to a rifle class with an AK, if they came back, they came back with an ARMy preference is AR for sure. But I do appreciate the AK and want to get more proficient at it. Even today, it was easier to keep my AR on the 12” plate. I assumed it was because I had shot the AR a lot more than AK. But recently, I’ve found myself wanting to shoot AK more.

Perishable skills! Need to hone your "weekend shooting" skills. ;D

Going this Sunday morning. Finally have all the components and data to reload for my 1867 Danish Rolling Block in 11.7mmx56R. Which is not only an obsolete cartridge, no one makes brass or boolits for it and no one I can find ever published reloading data for it. I am going to have a lot of testing to do to find the right loading for it. This is the toughest reloading project I have ever taken on. It literally took me 4 months to get to this point. Going to see how it shoots on Sunday. :thumbsup:Make sure you have your good eye pro! Or even better, have a guinea pig test fire a few first. Haha

Does shooting camp for the Boy Scouts count? That was my Saturday. At least the boys (and now girls) had a good time. Down side is didn't get to bring my own as the backstop isn't rated for more than a .22. Anyone care to bring up any materials able to construct a better than a 7 foot tall 3 foot deep backstop of tree trunks and limbs, with a little bit of dirt at the bottom?Yup! That definitely counts! :thumbsup:
Always awesome to facilitate youth to enjoy shooting! The first few years that I volunteered at the SSF, I helped with the .22 lr section and it was awesome having the young ones shoot! Even moreso when it was Father's Day and kids were enjoying shooting with their dad! Great stuff! Seems like you enjoyed it too! :shaka:
I'll probably go silhouette side and shoot some kind of handgun not sure yet which ones, maybe 22 rifle too :shaka:Post a video of your shooting! :thumbsup:

Anyone know if trap/skeet will be open this Sunday to the public? Went earlier this year and they were closed until further notice. I'd hate to have to drive an hr there just to find out.Skeet and trap are open again. There's a tournament on the skeet side that starts in the morning though. Probably done by lunchtime.

A buddy shot his PWS today as well. Was good to compare the FSC against the AFAB. AFAB wasn’t nearly as loud as the FSC.
Was a hot day, but had a nice breeze. The wind was gusting up to around 20+ at times. Made shooting standing interesting. ;D

We will be shooting half day on Sunday at our home range with some of our exceptional Big Island friends with a BBQ to follow! No tuition for members and all members are welcome. Be on the lookout for an announcement for an amazing multi-gun, run and gun steel event on the Big Island. The caliber of this type of event has never been seen before here in the islands. This event will obviously have requirements, so contact for details.Say hello to them for me! Would love to shoot with those BI folks again!

It will include 3 gun courses of fire, plus stages of fire that are reserved for our contracted .mil clients. A ton of steel here. As mentioned this will only be offered to our advanced clients with high levels of proficiency. There is time for others to take course that will prepare them, but you my friend are gtg!

I’m gonna zero my LPVO tmrw. Initial zero with M193 and then will test some various other ammo. Including some Hornady Match, 62 gr Gold Dots, and Black Hills 77 gr OTM. Maybe some FGMM as well.

Actually got scoldings from an RSO today. 😳Apparently my front foot wasn’t at the very edge of the pavement and not on the right side of my bench when I was shooting standing. Well, to my right was a youth shooter and I wanted to keep my gun with a comp away from him. To my left was a guy taking a break. And maybe my foot was like an inch away from the edge. I mean I get they are there to keep things safe, but sheesh. Most of them are cool though.

Sunday anti-TMT convoy from Kapolei to Kualoa could disrupt traffic
KGMB reported on the caravan today. There was NO permit for the convoy, but there was a permit for the gathering at the park. So, 50/50.
The permit fee was waived because the event was deemed a 1A gathering.
Also, there were too few parking spots at the park, so a great many had to find parking on the highway. Lots were ticketed for illegal parking as well as anyone HPD saw who had flags in their truck beds that flew beyond the width of their rear wheels (deemed a distraction for other drivers).
In my opinion, these tickets are "nuisance enforcement" efforts. They'll ticket for illegal parking, but allow people to block public roadways.

Going 808GC later today to test my 9c. 20% off ammo. If you got mil ID, no range fee and 25% off ammo.
Their FB post was wrong. All discounts apply to military ID only. Good thing I double checked before I shot. Phone intel was also wrong about the no range fee and 25% off ammo for military ID.
So I didn't go. What a shame too, because I was gonna shot around 200-300rds.

switched lowers on my 18" barrel AR, tested to see if it needed to re-zero, but it's still good. :thumbsup:Looks good to me. I was gonna go back to the range yesterday and test some FGMM (two different gr), but didn’t make it. I was interested in the same comparison that you did, which was against the BH OTM.

The RSO explained to me that it would be safer when picking up and putting down the rifle if I was on the “correct side” of the bench.

Haha! This happened to me on Saturday.I bet was same RO. I typically rest my rifle in the right side of the bench, but not all the time. What is safer? To me if I’m shooting my AR, left side keeps the brass ejection less risk of going into neighbor’s area.

He wasn’t concerned about the brass hitting my neighbor as opposed to how I shouldered it. I’m left handed and he wanted the rifle on the right side of the bench. That way I could shoulder it without having it crossover my body. If that makes sense.

Seems heavy at times, but then the sun breaks through. I got caught in a downpour yesterday that soaked targets stands. To the point where cardboard was falling off. Luckily I was already done shooting and just had to get my stand.

I have cloroplast boards and write in the rain targets or stick on shoot and see targets incase I really need to shoot at the range in the rain, as long as the rains not blowing in. For a class or practicing for something.

I’ll hook ya up.Awesome that you're taking coworker's shooting! :thumbsup:

I bought my AR just to get coworkers to try it out. I think the boys are up to 7-8 AR’s purchased between them plus another 1/2 dozen pistols. My plan succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
As for the beard, I’ve got 8 months of growth giving that suave silver mofo a run for his money. I’ve still got some color left in mine though.
(I’m doing a “how much beard can I grow in a year?” experiment.)

8 months? I didn't shave for a little over 2 weeks while I was on leave for the holidays. The area below my chin is at least have white. Funny because the hair on the top of my head is about 90-95% still black, or at least not white.

Would the company let you keep the wrong order? I assume magwells are cheap to make and the shipping back might cost more. Or how about keep 1 mag well.

I'll be at the range Sunday. I may go to the handgun range tomorrow for some practice. Thinking of trying a different handgun in a future match and also have new mags to test out for those handguns. Not making that rookie mistake again. :(
If you're heading to the range, please spread the word about the rally at the Capitol 30 Jan 2020. A big turnout is definitely needed this session (actually every session). I know many feel "the damage is already done", "they don't listen anyways", etc. But time to get together as a 2a/firearm COMMUNITY.

I shot those the last 2 weeks. and last week the 1911 came along too.
i'm supposed to go next week, my friend has to zero his optic on his AR.
maybe i'll change my mind and shoot wheel guns this week, bolt action next week
it will be a game time decision. I also have some new 44mag ammo I need to test out too that I got from KaleoArms, some high velocity, some cowboy loads. not enough time to shoot everything I want. but that's a good problem to have. :shaka:

I've been doing it for the last 3 years with the the troops from Mililani.
What really sucks though is the BSA has nobody to run their Shooting Sports program. Their last guy left in January 2017 and they never replaced him. So no maintenance of firearms has been done and they keep getting worse. I asked 2 years ago and never got any response from them. Probably because I'm not a certified NRA instructor, just an RSO. Is anyone in the group going to be offering the NRA Instructor courses here? Mainland is just too expensive.

Took the brand new Advantage Arms .22 conversion for the G19 out and put 200 rounds through it. Ran great. No hiccups, no misfires, jams or anything. I dry cycled it maybe 50 times before I went, ran it wet and shot with CCI Mini-Mags (AA recommends it). Still need to do some sight adjustment because I was shooting 3" low at 15 yards. But for a brand new item, it was hitting the 8-1/2" x 11" paper at 15 yards consistently. Any and all misses were completely operator error.
So if you're looking for a fun alternative to the large calibers, this is a good one.
Post by: Inspector on February 17, 2020, 06:03:21 AM
If anyone was curious..I have an older AA conversion for my Glock 17 Gen 2 and it works really well. I have tried lots of different HV ammo thru mine and it is picky. It runs Mini Mags and Blazer reliably. Since I am a Blazer fan the conversion is a keeper. I got mine used from a friend. It was already sighted in when I first shot it. I have not tried doing any accuracy testing with it as it is for plinking only for me. I like to say it shoots moment of tin can at 15 yards just fine.

What I like about it is that it allows for me to practice with my Glock trigger as I have modified it. Especially practicing the trigger reset.

From bench with that plastic thingy under the hand guard.By "plastic thingy", you mean the rest? Also pay attention to supporting the stock on/in your shoulder pocket when shooting supported on a bench. The difference between dot and irons shouldn't be that dramatic though.

Natural point of aim is key. Sight on target, close eyes, take a breath, open eyes, should still be on target. If not adjust your stance, try again. Should be this way either supported or unsupportedNatural point of aim is something that I think many people either aren't aware of or don't give it much thought after an initial exposure to it.

Going Saturday. Replaced some springs so I need to do function tests and practice, practice, practice.Springs for your carbine? What did you swap out?
None of my carbines have round counts that high, but have a couple of handguns that I should replace action springs already and some approaching the rounds counts that I should.
Taking the hdf carbine skill builder.Hopefully you iron out your sling issues. Mrs. CMO shooting as well?

Just wanted to clarify the stance is geared towards target shooting, not combat but the process is the same except in combat you'd have to do it much quicker if you can remember all that. Practice to instinct.

Striker spring on my Glock 17 because trigger reset was weak.
Reduced power striker spring and trigger spring on Glock 19 because I felt like messing with it. Trigger break is nice and crisp now, but I have to make sure it goes bang with different ammo/primers.

Striker spring on my Glock 17 because trigger reset was weak.Gotcha. Yeah, testing when you swap out the striker spring is key. I recently picked up a "Gucci" Glock and was getting the occasional misfire. Maybe 1 every 100. Saw primer strike and most (if not all) fired when loaded up a second time. It's back at the mfr getting checked out. I had expected them to tell me to try changing out the striker spring, but they asked me to send the gun back for inspection.

I don't experiment with the Glock springs, but I have seen the lighter striker springs lead to some problems. Usually on competition guns.
I'm gearing up to shoot 1911 more on random range days, but some mags that I ordered from Wilson are taking forever to get here. :grrr:

I've shot next to one of the range regulars when he was shooting his Savage .338 Lapua with the "tank brake". The side blast blew over my spotting scope. :o :rofl:
He would typically shoot like 3-5 and take a break, so I just waited until those breaks to shoot. O0
is this the same guy that also shoots a 1911 on rifle side? (Taurus 1911?)
if so, I shot next to him last week. that 338 is loud! :'(
I waited for those breaks too, then I shot my 22. :geekdanc:

I think he works (or worked) at Pearl Harbor. Can't think of his name right now. When I was going to the rifle range pretty much every other Friday, it would be him on the first bench to the right of the office and me on the second bench. We'd both be there early and talk story along with this guy that drives a green Jeep. Super cool guys.

I have a handgun class this weekend. Looking forward to some solid training, and even more to seeing familiar faces. As well as new faces coming out for firearms training. That always makes me 8) Was trying to get two of my buddies to go to the class with me. I even offered to pay for the class for one, but they have stuff with their kids. :(
State Championships coming up in a couple of weeks, so I bet there will be a lot of folks out practicing, testing, etc. Good luck to them! :thumbsup: :shaka:

I plan to go pistol side. My friend got a new Sig with Romeo red dot. I'm looking forward to shooting it. :DSig P320? I have long been interested in the P320 X5, but keep telling myself that I've decided to stick with what I've got and shoot them more.

This is the Remington 180 grain ammo

The 200 grain , was not 240 grain, 1000 fps was pretty soft shooting. Not as soft as 44sp, but way less than those Remingtons

Hoping to get some practice with handguns this weekend. I've been getting lazy with shooting and need some solid training.I hear ya. Takes some time/effort, but just gotta get back into the groove. No matches for me rest of March, but looking at a few in April. Hope you can make it out to one of those. :thumbsup:
Post by: drck1000 on June 11, 2020, 07:59:33 AM
I'm gonna be shooting handgun, mostly with the RDS. It's been close to 3 months since I've shot, so it will be interesting after the long layoff.
Good to see folks getting back to enjoying shooting, albeit under restrictions that seem counter to common sense.

I’m excited to go this weekend. Got 1 appointment for handgun then 2 hours later got another appointment for rifle on the same day. Life is good!That sounds like a fun day planned. Hope it goes well. I also hope the ROs will be reasonable where if there are open spots, they'll let those who are actively shooting, to keep shooting.

Yeah, those classes are always "leisurely".Haha. Yeah, I get that aspect. The handgun class involved a lot more jamming mags since it was the "next step". I loaded up my 6 mags right after a drill that ended up being the last. I was so in the zone with shoot, jam mags, rinse repeat that I wasn't watching the time.

When getting a bunch of new mags from a brand that I have never used before, I like to test out at least 2-3. I have a bunch of older Brownells mags, and now will get to test out the recent production ones.
Post by: stangzilla on July 20, 2020, 07:18:17 AM
distance was 0-75 yards. could go much further out, but since we got a late start that's what we shot at. I brought my steel target and we set up some water bottles to shoot too. was good fun to just shoot outside, draw from holster, rapid fire, etc
the Swampfox 1-10 LPVO did great! :thumbsup:
endless possibilities for training/shooting/plinking out there
the place and the shooting was great! roads were dirt with overgrown plants. offraod vehicle would be ideal. my Escape barely made it. downside is car was super dirty, had to spray under the car with my pressure washer too. but thats the price to pay :shaka:
Post by: stangzilla on September 06, 2020, 10:18:53 PM
targets range from 10 yards, 15, 25, and about 60 yards so far. we still need to clear more brush and grass to go out further. but for up close training out to 60 yards it is really great
hopefully we can shoot out to 200+ yards eventually

Good to have a place to practice freely. We practice safety too. Painted a firing line, no fanning the muzzle, basic safety and I try to be extra careful. And we clean up the place too, pick up our trash, etc.
Yeah, not a lot of rain lately. Good, less cutting grass

tested the reloads. was kind of windy, 15-25mph. the 223 55 grain fmjbt were good, better than factory federal ammo. from my small sample testing.
the 308 TMK were about the same as factory GMM 168 grain for both. but that's pretty good since I get good accuracy from GMM anyways. both testing done out of bolt actions, might try out of AR platform next. and try the SMK 223 bullet next too

Awesome! Have been meaning to test my LPVO upper with a bunch of better ammo. Have had the ammo for a while, but COVID and also have been just so damn busy. Hopefully things are settling down, so will be able to make it out to the range again in the next 2-3 weeks. Seeing some folks with nice new shooting gear, feeling the shooting itch coming back on. Hopefully it doesn't result in me buying something, like oh a Viper 1-10x :love:

2) Be aware of what's going on around you. If you have questions, ask.
3) Have fun and enjoy shooting!

Thinking of heading out to the range later this weekend. A new rear sight came in for my "main" AR. Also want to finally get to testing with my LPVO with the better ammo.
I have a new upper on the way, but that won't arrive until middle of next week. Damn shipping must be by Forrest Gump running that sucker here.
Post by: drck1000 on October 14, 2020, 01:26:26 PM
I was planning on going on Friday. A new upper I ordered recently came in yesterday and I was going to zero it, as well as either shoot another AR that I am changing the rear sight or do some testing with my LPVO. Then today, a manager from another group called a meeting for 0930 Friday morning :grrr: Maybe I'll head out after the meeting, but I was planning on a lazy morning before heading out to the range.

Who is going shooting this weekend?I went today. I shot my High Standard Military 107 Trophy that I inherited from my father when he passed. I had some problems with it today. Some lead built up in the chamber and I couldn’t chamber any rounds after about 120 rounds. When I cleaned it I scrubbed the chamber pretty good then did a plunk test (dropping a round into the chamber to make sure it plunks all the way in with gravity). Turns out I needed to scrub a little more because it did not go plunk when I dropped the round in. Finally got out the little ring of lead and all is good now. High standards are finicky about the magazine being adjusted properly and the type of ammo used. While I was firing it I thought of all the times my father would take me shooting.

After I was done cleaning that gun I finally got out my WWII High Standard and finally cleaned and lubed it so I can finally take it out and see how it shoots. It needed oiling bad. It was in dire need of attention. I can hardly wait to take it out now.
So when are you going to sell me your High Standard?

It doesn't look like the stand is super sturdy to withstand hits, but its large enough I don't think i'll hit it directly
or I might go pistol and shoot the mark iv, and test my 357 reloads
either way its better than doing yardwork

I wish there were some way we could shoot at 2 liter soda bottles, 12 oz soda cans, watermelons and cantaloupes. Oh and bowling pins.
Why should Hickok 45 get all the fun........ ;)
We used to shoot bowling pins here and there in the action bays and at SRGC. Reactive targets are always fun! There are some days when my work laptop is about an inch from being taken to the range and being shot. :rofl:

I love shooting steel.My experience with ranges like Hickok45’s is you run out of $ before you run out of fun. Although you do get worn out of lugging 2 liters out to the 200 and 300 yard lines.

You DO have to help clean up when done.

I'd love to be a part of this. Maybe when the action bays open back up I'll inquire about how to be a part of it.
I don't mind cleaning up. It's the cost of having fun.

But, you said the rail is a solution for getting us out of our cars.
How can that happen if you can't take guns on public transportation, including buses which take us to and from the rail stations?
Or, do you mean it gets OTHER people out of their cars -- just not YOU?

Occasionally I see pistol shooters on the rifle side. Are there any special rules? It would be nice to just set up targets once for all gun types.If the rules have not changed I believe they want to see an optic on your pistol. Iron sights not allowed on the rifle side for pistols.

Yup I used to shoot BPCR with a 45-120 Quigley. Sharps. Friggin artillery piece! Also used to do Civil War reenactment. Was an 8th West Virginia Cavalryman which was part of Bufords Regiment who served at Gettysburg. My rifle was a 50cal Smith carbine antique with an 1859 manufacture date. Interesting, fast loading and quite accurate! Even did smoke poles for awhile but grew tired of the cleaning. They are a lot of fun though...... :D

How did the Colt do?
Post by: stangzilla on December 05, 2020, 12:09:49 PM
Shocking... :P
How did the Colt do?
Colt was great. trigger is good, i wouldnt say its phenomenal, but very good. i swapped out the front sight for the fiber optic one from my cobra and i didn't have to adjust at all, but this is shooting silly side, so i'll adjust on bullseye side later
Altamont grips are slightly thinner than factory ones, i think. i didn't measure but thats what it feels like. thinner grips were a little painful after 30+ rounds or so
its the same with the 586. thinner grips
but i like the look of the grips, so i'll take the pain. >:D
overall, i gotta give the nod to the 6" GP100. i gotta admit, i have shot this over 100 times, has a fiber optic front sight which i can shoot better bc i can see it better. i did a trigger spring swap, so its slightly lighter, and its smoother bc theres probably around 1000 rounds thru it. the grips are more comfortable, longer barrel so less muzzle flip, longer sight radius. i'm just more comfortable shooting this gun than the other 2. S&W i shot a couple hundred rounds thru, so i'm not super familiar with it. Ruger is shorter reach to the trigger, which is less felt trigger pull, IMO. if you have large hands than this is not significant, but i have more medium hands so it makes a difference when i can reach the trigger better
looks wise, toss up between the 586 and Python. shooting wise i give it to the GP100, but there are variables to the comparison, so its not factory for factory stock. :shaka:

The range was pretty crowded. There was a waiting list from opening to when I left around 2:30 pm.
That was my first trip back to the range since COVID. Some tweaks to control flow if people and have to wait outside the covered area, but overall not bad.
I did find that shooting rifle with a mask bothered me a bit at first, but kinda got used to it after a bit. Not as bad as I thought. I was expecting the mask to fog up my eye pro more, which wasn’t an issue.
Went over to chat with a friend on the pistol side after. Pistol was a little over half full. Didn’t seem like they were keeping folks to every other shooting position.
Overall, fun day in the range.

I got my 700 back a little earlier than expected, so trying to get to the range to zero the new setup. Supposed to be on leave on all this week, but an effing “Senior Leader” scheduled a Telcon tmrw, right in the middle of the damn day. :grrr:
Post by: drck1000 on January 07, 2021, 04:24:32 PM
I had plans to go tomorrow, but some "sr leader" type jackwagon setup a meeting. Wait, that might have been me. . . :facepalm:
I finally have the correct mounts for my chrono, so want to start testing some loads on my 700. The mount that I ordered seems like it was meant for a 24-28" or longer barrel. My barrel is only 20". So too short. . . :( (no TWSS comments. . . )
:rofl:
I have a RDS that I bought in a Black Friday sale that I eventually need to get mounted and zeroed as well.
So. . . who is going shooting this weekend?

Awesome! What does she enjoy shooting?I rebuilt a Remington 582 bolt action 22lr for her that I got from grand uncle. I figure she could handle the recoil and be comfortable with it. I mounted an old Tasco 8x scope to it.
When are you going to get a 66?
Also, I have an M&P 9mm she shoots.

John Browning's shop was 2 doors over from The Nauvoo Expositor in Nauvoo IL right on the Mississippi River which was ordered by the Nauvoo city council to close down for libel for a story by the newspaper in June of 1844 which exposed Joseph Smith as a liar, schemer, and contriver. ::)
Joseph Smith, then mayor of Nauvoo burned it down instead >:D
It was the newspapers first and last edition.
Smith was later arrested and taken to the next towns jail for his own safety but was literally shot behind bars while incarcerated.
This led to a war which you probably know nothing of where 1,000's died (Nauvoo was bigger than Chicago at the time)
The Mormons lost and were exiled from Nauvoo and went on to the "Journey of tears" in which hundreds if not thousands more died, most in the "Great Plains Fire" of 1844.
They carried on to Nevada where they built the humble town of Las Vegas. 8)
When the Gold Rush of 1888 flooded Vegas with gambling, girls and liquor, the Mormons most likely from experience decided to leave instead of fighting, :geekdanc:

My wife’s niece has a boyfriend for about the last 2 years or so. He is a pretty good guy and she seems quite happy with him. He is a biker and belongs to a local club. He is into Harley’s, knives and guns. So I invited him to come up on Sunday to go shooting. Oh and I invited my wife’s niece, too. She is terrified of guns. I offered to take them out to breakfast/lunch after we get back. I think the ladies are going to check out some antique stores while we burn powder.Come on man! Can't have that!!!

Loaded up some medium velocity 45 swc that I cast last week. They were ok.
I might go on Thursday before I start work.

I'm headed to a buddy's property this weekend. Mostly just to get away, but also helping them with some chores around the property. Will likely fit some shooting in, but not the main purpose of the trip. Though it is an aspect of the trip that I really look forward to.
Have been pretty busy lately, so some time away from the madness is much needed.

i noticed a couple of shooters with a Gucci Glock, but couldn't really hit anything. 1 guy was consistently about 10-20m short of the 50m target. i was going to offer some tips, but didn't really look like they wanted any help. for over an hour that i was there, they were shooting the same
i also saw one old timer who is always there vulturing brass from other people there without asking.
i was there with 5 other people, 3 of which were new to shooting and the other 2 shot a few times before. after going over basic safety rules and then a basic tutorial of handgun shooting, "this is how you grip the gun, extend your elbows, focus on front sight, squeeze trigger while holding steady, don't jerk the trigger." etc..., all the 5 shooters were consistently shooting the big target, and some hitting smaller targets. nobody hitting the dirt. no Gucci Glock, only the obsolete G19. I also eased them into the G19 by shooting my Ruger Mark IV 22LR first, so they get used to squeezing the trigger with less recoil so they can practice shooting without anticipating the recoil. it was satisfying to teach new shooters and to have a good outcome :shaka:

Shoot up all your 50 cal ammo. SB307 passed the senate floor vote and is crossing over to the house next. I doubt the house will stop the bill. This also includes S&W 500. No grandfather clause or reimbursement. So if you spent $12K on a M82, you screwed.
well, that sucks! I guess I'll have to settle for a .460
they must think a 500 S&W is a sniper rifle.

Quick range session this morning to zero new handgun red dot and irons. Quality 50 rounds and out. In the past, I would probably have shot 100-200 on a day like today. I was going to shoot another 50, but have come range sessions coming up, so gonna save it for those days.You could always resort back to rock throwing!

Going to the HDF open shoot on sat. Bringing my coworker and her husband. He's a new gun owner and reloader. The wife thought his AR was too heavy, so gonna let her try Mrs.CMO's one. Both already took the pistol class.
Post by: drck1000 on May 19, 2021, 08:50:25 AM
I installed an RMR and new sights on my second Gucci Glock, so same-same setup with the other Gucci Glock. I was going to keep one with RDS and one with irons and shoot both like that along the way. But with aging eyes, I have fully bought on the value of RDS on handguns. I also have other handguns with irons, so when I saw a screaming deal on on an RMR last Nov, I picked it up. Have had it for almost 6 months and finally getting around to using it.
Also got my holster for the 19 with RMR Dremeled down more (by a good friend). It fit ok, but an area by the hood was contacting the RMR body and causing slight damage.
Loaded up some more .308 as well, but probably won't get around to shooting that for a while. Will update in the reloading thread.

I work with his wife, so I'm gonna allow him maybe 50rds per platform. He's getting into reloading. Has 1 AR, but it's a collectors type safe queen. He's waiting on a CZP10F, AR (workhorse), and shotgun to come in. He hasn't shot at a distance of less than 25 yards for pistol and 50 yards for rifle yet. IDK if he even has factory ammo. I'm not gonna allow him to use any reloads in my guns.
His wife will come too, and she feels that most AR's are too heavy. So I'm gonna let her try Mrs. CMO's lighter AR. She might only shoot like 5 rds.

I hear ya. I had planned on shooting 50-100 last weekend, but I ended up shooting 150 rounds. I want to say quality rounds and not just making noise. Prior to the recent shortage stuff, a range day like that would normally be in the 200-300 round range without a second thought.

Do you have to wait long for a bench?
I remember my friend said he used to be at the range a couple of hours early to guarantee himself a bench. I assume he wants to get his shooting out of the way first thing in the morning.
Is there a time when the crowds thin out? During the weekdays it slows down after 2 pm.

I went to the pistol range two weekends ago around 10 am and less than half full. Was same about when I left. As I was driving out, the rifle range seemed about half full, probably less. The silhouette range was pretty empty.

Last weekend, I was at the range all morning and the rifle range seemed about half full and silhouette was about the same. At least that I could see. I would think it would be a little more crowded given a holiday weekend tho, but seems like range hasn't been too busy.

After a glorious few days unplugged over Memorial Day weekend, I'm looking forward to getting some pistol training in this weekend. Good that the ranges and classes are opening back up.
Will hopefully be hitting up the rifle range more and get the .308 loads refined on my Rem 700, but will likely be later this month.
Post by: drck1000 on June 11, 2021, 07:16:23 AM
I forgot today is a State holiday. I am planning on taking the afternoon off, so might head to the range and test some .308 loads from a few weeks ago.

We should have an EV cruise that ends at the range. Then we can pewpew all day because no ammo and no like harm da climate
No can pewpew due to HI's to and from law.
But can have a EV get together and all park in the stalls in front the toilets or something.
But some won't come cause #1 no EV and #2 range too far.

guy and girl pull up and walk up to the benches and realize its full
guy asks a family of 4 at a table if they can share. father of family accepts, although looks like reluctantly. if it was me, i would not share. if its a friend, sure I'll share without hesitating.
but someone i don't know, get your own table. wait till one opens up. people usually don"t stay that long on silly side anyways
thats like reverse Aloha. giving Aloha to yourself at the expense of others. not a cool move to ask a stranger to share tables, IMO. not good range etiquette

I am 50/50 on the "don't know until you ask" approach. I definitely see folks being too pushy on that. Personally, I wouldn't ask. I would just wait patiently. However, I see that "I'm gonna get mine" attitude more and more these days.

Haven't had to zero in a while and its 1 of the things that I hate to do. So got confused on the dials, but was able to figure it out.
He had 45 offset irons that we didn't finish. Couldn't even land on paper, even after bore sighting. He said he's gonna remove them anyways.
I had to remember FORS for the dials. Front Opposite, Rear Same.
Zeroing and the cost of ammo puts a new stress on doing it. Gotta use as minimal amount of ammo as possible.
Post by: drck1000 on August 05, 2021, 11:29:44 AM
Went last Sunday to help a buddy zero is LVPO on his AR. Took some rounds to get him on paper. Then was doable.Interesting. . . So got the LPVO zeroed, but then couldn't on the irons? How far off were the irons? If not on paper, how did it look when the LPVO was on target and you look over to the irons?

Front post looked very low. Which would imply we were shooting over the paper. He has some weird irons that you need a tool to hold it in place and use a bullet to move the dial for the front sight. I don't remember the brand. Compared to my Magpul MBUS, just use the bullet to spin the dial if you lose the provided turn key.
IIRC it was a Primary Arms 1x4.

IIRC it was a Primary Arms 1x4.
I've had an upper where I was able to zero the red dot, but the irons were about 2" right when the rear sight was all the way to one side. Triple checked, friend checked, etc. Sent upper back to MFR and they said something was off in the barrel to barrel extension. They ended up replacing the barrel.
For front sight, I have the 4 and 5 prong tool, but the FSP and others are meant to be able to be adjusted by the bullet tip or fired brass.

Could be the rifle too, IDK. Cause his friend built it for him. And the first time, the handguard screws came lose . This is round 2.

That's why I generally stay away from building, even my own. I have a bunch of buddies who like building, tinkering, etc. Some are very experienced and generally have good results, but there's always the head scratcher in there. I mean great that folks that like to build, but just not really for me. Mostly because I'm lazy and just want to shoot. ;D

Will hopefully make it out to the range this weekend. Enjoy some range time after many weeks of being slammed at work. Need to get back to shooting. Will also need to load up some more test loads for the .308, but don't think I'll get to that by this weekend.

going this weekendI went yesterday and today. Yesterday I shot my Model 627. I shot both bunny farts and mid level 357 loads. I cast my own bullets and powder coated them as well. I used to have an RDS on my pistol but I took it off and reinstalled the iron sights.

Today I shot my High Standard USA-HD target pistol. It was made for the army as a training pistol and later used by army marksmen in competition. The pistol was made in 1943 and later modified with target sights somewhere in the early 50’s. The pistol was sold sometime in the late 60’s to the public. They were originally sold to the army both blued and parkerized. Mine is parkerized.

Spent all morning talking guns with my nephews. One is thinking of getting his FFL and the other does product reviews and received a cheap ass free scope to review. They sent him rings for a dovetail instead of for a picatinny rail. He is not very experienced with guns so he couldn’t figure out why the rings would not fit his PCC.
I reloaded 200 rounds of 9mm this afternoon. I have 200 more to go to make the 1,000 rounds for this project. Probably finish them up tomorrow. This project is basic ammo designed to be soft shooting yet reliable in my EDC guns. I load 124gr RN powder coated boolits with Red Dot powder. I use this ammo for holster training. Don’t need accuracy here. Just economy and reliability. Then I start the next 1,000 round 9mm project. This is practice and target ammo for all my guns. These have to be up to mid power ranges and must be pretty accurate and reliable in all my guns not just my EDC guns. For these I load a 124gr RN plated bullet by X-Treme. I load these with either CFE Pistol or Titegroup powder. After that is a specialty load for one of my milsurp pistols. After that is some .380 so I can practice with my new pocket carry.
And after all that I have small amounts of Red Dot, Green Dot and Bullseye that I want to use up. Then I start working on the last of the Unique I have. It’s been hell trying to find pistol powder around here. When I do it’s not what I want or normally use. So I am trying to use up the Red Dot and Green Dot as I bought these only because they were the only pistol powder available at the time. I don’t normally use these powders. Bullseye and Unique is smoky and dirty so I want to use those up as well.

Sorry you’re working on Saturday. Take a break and have an adult beverage. :thumbsup:I knew I would have to work this weekend. I was on leave for over a week recently and it was timed to be before this next rush of work.
Spent all morning talking guns with my nephews. One is thinking of getting his FFL and the other does product reviews and received a cheap ass free scope to review. They sent him rings for a dovetail instead of for a picatinny rail. He is not very experienced with guns so he couldn’t figure out why the rings would not fit his PCC.
I reloaded 200 rounds of 9mm this afternoon. I have 200 more to go to make the 1,000 rounds for this project. Probably finish them up tomorrow. This project is basic ammo designed to be soft shooting yet reliable in my EDC guns. I load 124gr RN powder coated boolits with Red Dot powder. I use this ammo for holster training. Don’t need accuracy here. Just economy and reliability. Then I start the next 1,000 round 9mm project. This is practice and target ammo for all my guns. These have to be up to mid power ranges and must be pretty accurate and reliable in all my guns not just my EDC guns. For these I load a 124gr RN plated bullet by X-Treme. I load these with either CFE Pistol or Titegroup powder. After that is a specialty load for one of my milsurp pistols. After that is some .380 so I can practice with my new pocket carry.
And after all that I have small amounts of Red Dot, Green Dot and Bullseye that I want to use up. Then I start working on the last of the Unique I have. It’s been hell trying to find pistol powder around here. When I do it’s not what I want or normally use. So I am trying to use up the Red Dot and Green Dot as I bought these only because they were the only pistol powder available at the time. I don’t normally use these powders. Bullseye and Unique is smoky and dirty so I want to use those up as well.
Good that you are talking guns with your nephews, and that one seems to be into it. If I lived in AZ or NV, I'd quickly be going broke with all of the shooting I would be able to do. At least more opportunity to do so than Hawaii.
I finally was able to get my hands on some powder to load up for 9 mm. I had "bought" it a while ago, but it got held up with the middle man/person/it/thing. Haha. All good though in that I haven't been shooting handgun as much and have some time until I "need" to load for 9mm. I should get into it sooner rather than later though.

With Thanksgiving holiday this week, hopefully many of you will have opportunity to hit the range. I am going to try to take the CZ out again, and hopefully have a shooting buddy join me for some friendly 22 competition. Might also try to shoot some pistol. Haven't been shooting pistol nearly enough since I've been focusing on rifles.

I want to head out and shoot the new B/A rifles that finally arrived. Got a scope mounted on one gun and is ready to go. Unfortunately wasn't able to load up some ammo for the new gun, but will be good too shoot some factory ammo.
The scope I ordered arrived as well, but it had a flaw in the objective lens. So it's back to the mfr. They were super apologetic and said that if they had the same model in stock, they would've sent one out. Will see what happens, but they said they see that type of flaw in maybe 2-3% of scopes.

I was able to pick up some 9mm HP ammo in Vegas. So might rotate HP ammo. Usually I do it annually, but with prices and covid lack of supply, I held off.
what type and how much?
Post by: changemyoil66 on December 29, 2021, 11:34:34 AM
what type and how much?
Gold Dot 124 gr 50rds
Federal HST 50rds
Both for $60 each. Over priced, but I needed to buy something from Ventura Munition to support them. I didn't see anything else to spend $ on. IIRC, both were like $35 pre covid.

I also got to test my WC and SWC reloads and that went well too. recoil and muzzle rise was minimal. now need to test accuracy
overall I'm impressed with how well it shot and how well it felt shooting some magnum loads. trigger is pretty smooth too :shaka:

I didn't shoot a lot of the hot loads, but enough to know that the Anaconda handled the recoil well. the heavy weight of the gun and the Hogue grip helped to mitigate the felt recoil very well. the push and the muzzle rise from the heavier load was apparent but it did not hurt my hand at all, the Anaconda felt fairly pleasant in the hand while shooting

I remember 1 time it was so windy that I had to hold right 12 inches at 100yrds with the 22. But at least the wind was constant, so once I figured that out, was getting hits on 3 inch steel all day. Used guestimation and not real wind mph and tech stuff. That's over my pay grade.

I calculate it would cost me

edited to add again: Made mistake. Cost would be $20.72 in fuel costs. Gotta be fair to Brandon but I still say LET'S GO BRANDON! ;D

Cost me about $11.00 in gas. ( figuring two+ gallons)
Around $50.00-$70.00 total on average + or - with ammo cost included.
Cheaper than most golf and more relaxing.
Not much more than bowling nowadays (with beer tab) or movies with wife ( and snack bar tab)
A range too far.
That’s a classic quote for rhayder/omnigrub type guys.

Since I'm retired, I've been visiting KHSC on weekdays. I go early to secure a table but there are times I am surprised that by 12:00 all the tables on rifle side is taken. Last time I went on a Thursday and I arrived at 11:00 am and there were only 5 tables left. By 11:30 all tables were taken.
Pistol side on weekdays are not that bad.
Yes, for me I wish the range was closer but I'm grateful there is a place to shoot, albeit the rules are a bit strict and the distances are limited to 100 yards (not a biggie for me since my eyes are getting bad anyway).
What really irritates me more than the range distance and costs of fuel is the traffic. Even on weekdays the traffic at the Middle street, Liliha, Kinau, and Punahou corriders are horrendous.
Then there is the traffic along Kalanianaole...... :grrr:

I'd love to shoot on week-ends but most times there's family stuff or wife-stuff to do. And I figure week-ends would be busier.I used to have every other Friday off. That was my favorite time to hit the range. I've been making time to hit the range on Sat or Sun lately. It is more crowded and hectic, but I don't mind. Once I get there and set up, sort of in my own little zone/world.

Should change title to who is shooting this week?
That said, for weekends, I've found that going a little later, like in the 1100-1300 window is good, at least for me. Usually have open benches. As well as I can sort of see who is around those open benches.

That's good to know that on weekends later in the day is a good time and a good chance to get a bench. :shaka:
On my weekday visits, I also notice that around 1:30 to 2:00 the benches start to clear out. So one weekday I decided to go around 1:00. Unfortunately it was a bit busy and I got a bench around 2:00 or so. Problem with that is I was only able to shoot till 3:00 because on weekdays I pick up my wife after she gets done with work and she works in Halawa Valley. She get's done at 3:30 so I have to be really careful and mindful of the cease fire schedule so I can grab my target, pack up and get out of there.
For some shooters an hour is enough if they only want to verify the zero on their rifle but I like to stay as long as possible and shoot the hell out of my firearms. So for me going later during the week is not worth it for the time traveling to and from the range and then only getting to shoot for an hour. This is why I go early on weekdays and have my fingers crossed that I can get a table at 12:00 and shoot until 3:00. ;D
I need the 3 hours to at least put 3 bullet holes in my target. The other 300 or so rounds end up under and over the target in the dirt. :rofl: ;)
Or mangling and destroying the target frame....... :oops:

I generally pop about 40 to 50 rounds per rotation. ( each half hour.)
Definitely gotta watch the clock for the ending of rotation.
My bigger bolt gun, way less than that. Maybe ten or twenty per rotation.
Sometimes just reload mags for the last 5 minutes.
Over 100 to 150 rounds I can’t afford it, (except .22)
Afternoons after lunch time the morning crew generally packs up and benches open.
I don’t go all the time so just talking from my experience the times I go.
Weekday I just cruise back through Waimanalo.
Weekend I go back through town.
Hopefully I’ll be there next week or weekend.

That's good to know that on weekends later in the day is a good time and a good chance to get a bench. :shaka:It can be pretty random. This past weekend, it was less than half full (maybe less than quarter full) at 2 pm (same as you noted). I've also seen a later wave come in, but not to where it's full. That said, I don't like being up against a clock when shooting.

if you aren't shooting you should get off the bench :shaka:Agreed. I think fine for shooting at your own pace, including some breaks here and there, which is what I typically do when shooting my bolt guns. However, there are folks that occupy benches, with rifles out, and don't shoot for a whole relay, sometimes even more. I mean their bench and all, but still. Particularly "interesting" lately where I've noticed ROs doing that on the weekend, even when the range is full. . .

It seems that on weekdays when I go the shooters all kinda know each other. And I think this is cool, I always think just by looking at most of them that they are somewhat retired like me. So they are all talking and laughing which is a great way to spend time at the range with friends.
And as I mentioned earlier, almost all of them will pack up and leave by 2:00 or so. I haven't really noticed if any of them just hang out occupying the bench and not shooting.
That "interesting" observation about the RO's....I wonder if they are saving the bench for their friends.

When I used to go on Fridays on a regular basis, I got to know a few of the regulars pretty well. While I am not retired, I used to get there early and would talk story with many of them. I had my "second bench" regular spot for a while. Some of them just come to the range to hang out, sort of like their version of Zippy's or McDonalds for meet up spot.

I was planning on heading to the range on Saturday, but a change of plans with family/friends might make me call an audible. I hit the range both Sat and Sun last weekend, so got a lot done there. If I am able to head to the range, will likely shoot some .308 that I loaded up a few weeks back. Might also shoot the CZ 457 with the new barrel and tuner.
Post by: drck1000 on April 21, 2022, 09:00:55 AM
Have plans to take some new(er) shooters on Sat. I'll likely also shoot either the .22 lr rifle or more testing and general practice with the .308.

I have next batches of test loads for both .308 and 6.5 cm loaded up, as well as wanting to do tuner testing with the .22 lr. Likely will end up shooting .308. Might take a couple of friends and shoot some handguns as well.

BUIS went OK despite no decent target for aperture sights.
Scope was doing great at first, some spotters at 50 yards, then out to 100.
The group of three on the right was first. Got up to crank in some windage (expected) and noticed the scope had shifted forward about a half inch. No wonder I was having a fit getting a good sight picture.
Had been having trouble on the bench without a stool high enough to get steady behind, but that group was so good even with me wobbling around, I just loosened the rings enough to slide back and tighten it up just to see what happened. Hey, had to clean the rifle anyway at that point..
Lateral dispersion seems fine, vertical maybe mostly me not steady at the back of the rifle.
All in all, very nice to shoot at a real range, not a broken bottle or shotgun hull to be seen.

1/2” shift in scope mount is wild. First time shooting a scope, I typically have some blue tape to mark the eye relief when setting it up. Helps as a marker when shooting. Never had a scope move after mounting, but good to know if didn’t move in case need to troubleshoot anything.
Post by: robtmc on May 16, 2022, 04:20:30 AM
Nice. What kind of rifle?.308 AR I built up. Barrel is the best part, an 18.5" Criterion that I recently shimmed to the receiver. It kicks, but not at all intolerable with an adjustable gas block to tame things. The flyers I used to get are gone, even with surplus 7.62mm ammo. Looking forward to next range session with some Federal Gold Medal Match ammo.

Scope movement was my goof. I had lapped the one piece Aero mount and the bare aluminum bothered me so it got a light coat of oil. Used a torque screwdriver, but did not bring it to check the tension after travel and temperature swings. Bought another torque screwdriver to leave here.
Whoops! Using lube on a joint meant not to slip.........Had too many little things turn out to be not locked down enough on this rifle, pride and hubris (thinking something did not matter) slowed my working through them all.
De-greased it all and put it back together. Be a while until I get back to this range, and will mark the scope as you mention, and have a proper height stool to get solid behind the gun. I believe the scope mount had lost screw tension over time. Will add that to pre-shooting checks from now on.
Attached an aerial view of the range I use.

Planning to head to the range and help a buddy shoot and zero his first AR. He has shot before and shoots pistols often, but first AR. His son graduated recently as well, who likes to shoot, so will likely join us.
Will likely shoot my AR with 1-8. I haven't shot that AR in a long time. Will see what rust is there.

I'm planning on shooting some 6.5 creedmoor that I loaded up a while ago. Another 50 rounds of barrel seasoning and watching the velocity. I'm pretty sure the barrel speed up phase is complete. So mostly now for brass forming and general practice. But the 6.5 in a different chassis, so good to get that settled in before starting the load development process. I also have a longer range shoot tentatively planned in the next month or so, so hopefully can get a solid load dialed in.

Taking a HDF pistol skill builder. But gonna go early to do the open shoot. Gotta get reps in the M&P9C cause I may carry this if CCW's are issued. This will by my 4 oclock carry when untucked aloha shirt. Only cause I already got a holster for it and the holster for the Shield Plus is a AIWB with sidecar. This is until I order a non side car holster for the Shield. But I will wait until CCW permit is issued before investing more $. The Tier 1 Concealed Axis Elite cost me $170.

going to shoot the HK45 again. get used to that DA/SA trigger
and bring the Ruger Mark IV Hunter and do some plinking. probably put a few hundred rounds through it :shaka:
How do you like your HK45 so far? Been thinking about picking one up

I like it a lot. The DA/SA trigger takes some getting used to, but I'm getting used to it and I like it. I was thinking about getting the compact version or the P30SK in 9mm for carry.

Nice :geekdanc: The Grayguns short reset kit improves the trigger, if you're considering upgrades for the HK45:
https://grayguns.com/product/hk-usp-hk45-short-reset-system/
The P30SK is pretty great, maybe a little chonky for a ccw (~1.3" thick), but I like mine. I may consider swapping it for a P30L if I can find a thinner carry gun.

The DA/SA is something that I don't think I would ever get used to. Or at least it would take me a while to iron out the kinks. I have a couple of DA/SA guns, including my CZ SP-01 Shadow, which is primarily for competition. I have to really concentrate on the first DA pull. The DA pull on that gun is super smooth, so it doesn't take a whole lot to make adjustments. But I do certainly notice first shot "deviation" when I have not shot DA/SA in a while. But eh, in a defensive situation, a hit to the groin/pelvis is effective, right?
Just gotta watch out for those "low and left" folks. . . ;D

Who is shooting this weekend? Going to try to hit the range early on Sunday. Then relax for the rest of the day. Work has been kicking my a$$ lately.
Have fun tomorrow! :shaka:

I'll be shooting some carbine and pistol this weekend. Might try to hit the range for some bolt action centerfire, if I can find some time to load up some ammo.
A big project that I've been working on for the past 2+ years goes final in the next couple of weeks, so hope to hit the range more later this year.

changed my mind on the P30SK......for now anyways. I'll put it on hold for now, but it's on my radar for the future. I really like this HK SA/DA safety/decocker setup. it was different at first, but now it's beginning to grow on me
went with the HK45C instead.........for now

Which new P320 is it? My friend came to Vegas with us and went handgun testing. He originally wanted a G19, but liked the G17 after shooting both. Then liked the P320 full size even more.
I shot a full auto Uzi which is a lot of fun. Very low recoil and you can feel the open bolt system. Vector was also fun, but way too fast to enjoy. The Maxim-9 was like a thud, thud, thud, when shooting.

I know more than a few folks who really liked the P320 series, which spurred my thread on it. Will see. That's a lot of mags and other stuff/crap to gear up for P320 series, but if I shoot better with it. . .

Always good to get out shooting.Seating depth 2.735 & 2.74, vary try to get shot at 1.5" at 100 yards. I was going to take time to do it next month but... things change. We got 2nd to last week in Lanai in October. I'll probably do more dialing in on Lanai. Reloading 2.735 seating depth and 43.5 grains with 139 grain bullet. Those were 140 gr ELDM Hornaday.

Went to Kokohead today. Great day for 22lr…4 people on the rifle and one on the pistol at 2pm. Thought it would have been calmer but the trades (10-15) helped keep the humidity away.Sounded like it was a quiet day on the range.
I hope to get out and shoot more 22lr during this "window of opportunity".

So I’ve heard through the grapevine that there maybe some people or anti gun people. Got nothing better to do but make reservations so it appears that it’s book all the time. And that’s why when you get there to shoot, there’s many open tables. :wtf:
Is the reservation list available for shooters to check? Do the range employees have access?
Someone needs to be recording no-shows. More than 2-3 in a row, and you're blocked from making range reservations for a month or so.
if no-shows are frequent, more shooters need to show up as walk-ins so the benches are used.

Although one range recently had to shut down rifle and pistol ranges due to a lawsuit by neighbors :( So only skeet & trap for now due to "zoning ordinances".

Marksmanship was a key aspect of the class that I attended. Interestingly, one key course of fire, which included a competition for swag was conducted on B8s at 25 yards. Both careful fire and under time and pressure. Interesting impacts on performance.

There was one guy who left at lunch on Day 1, never to return. Didn't think he was doing bad. But yeah, if you can't make consistent hits on an A-zone at 10 yards under careful fire, you're not going to get that much out of the class. As well as likely be "that guy" in the class. I was partnered with a guy who was struggling early on, but even he was WAY better at the end of the class.

From my past experience, courses usually list prerequisites and what they will cover in the class and you have to determine if you meet those requirements. I watch and read reviews of the course and talk to people who have taken the course before. I'll typically start prepping 6 months prior and ramp up to the point of shooting practice twice a week the month prior.
The first day of class is the hardest, but on the 2nd day you get warmed up, acclimate to the environment and implement things you learned the prior day and all is better.
Point of taking a class isn't necessarily to get a certificate or win a shootoff, it's to do the best you can and learn from it.

Rise Armament 140 trigger, Magpul MOE K2 grip, Strike Industries Mod1 stock, Strike Industries enhanced bolt catch, Spikes Tactical trigger guard, Aero Pro bcg, Aero Breach large CH, stainless sub-moa barrel, micro compensator, Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 LPVO
very pleased with the results
top pic is with Nosler 77 grain .223 HPBT
bottom is with Black Hills ammo 75 grain .223 HP match
Black Hills were a little better, but would need more rounds to be sure
bulk Federal 55 grain was not quite as good accuracy. at least double the group size of the match ammo

What's the biggest lie told most often in Vegas?

A lot of my co-workers and my BIL is like this. When they ask me how I'm doing I tell them I'm down for the trip. They go "What?!! Didn't you win?" I go yes, I did. It's just that I lost more than I won, something you need to come to terms with. You are in denial you poor foolish dumbass for a man. :rofl:
edited to add: I hope KHSC opens up again during the weekdays. I like going on Wednesdays.

Both started with a shotgun like 30" group at 25 yards. After an hour and a half I got them down to almost a sheet of paper size group then worked on speed.
Pretty good

I took two coworkers out to khsc pistol range this weekend.One was trying to do better on qualifications and the other is trying out for an armed position on the mainland.

Were the RO's pretty good about when you guys started to work on speed? How fast were you able to practice before they get all bent out of shape.

There's two ways I work on speed at 25yds
Start from compressed ready and get the shot off at full extension.
"Rapid fire" one second between shots. In their case I had them do 1.5 sec between shots. It's fine as long as it's controlled and hitting the cardboard. It's a good stress test to check for good position, grip, and trigger control.
One second per shot, controlled, is the max at bullseye. If you can do that and keep the shots on a sheet of paper, that's advanced level stuff.
