Well in my case,
I think shooting stages with a infant in a front carrier while pushing a double stroller with two kids would be frowned upon...... ??? :wtf:

Thats a trip...
For me... Lack of legal place to shoot... lack of scripts.... etc. etc.
Wife says i gotta work on the house??? ??? ??? ??? Lost here??? IDK?

Haha. I wish. too bad the only days I could go to the one range on the island, my wife is working. :'(
Pretty much the reason why I've only fired about half the stuff I own. >:(

schedule and lack of a range on my side of the island.

My guns residing in Hawaii and me residing in North Carolina :(

Anyone notice KK hasn't posted here? I figured he allows no excuse and goes to the range everyday.

OGC range not open yet

Spending upto 90 minutes driving out to the range then waiting however long for a-holes who take up space talking story and drinking coffee to "finish" is just BS to me. I'm sure these folks are nice people, but squeezing off 1 or 2 rounds every 30 minutes while others want to get in there gets on my nerves.

This doesn't prevent me from going but it is extremely annoying. Especially wen there's a group of them taking up 3-5 benches.

Last I heard it was held up due to some kind of delay with the shipping of the backstop. Kinda an essential part so bullets don't go flying all over....Kalihi?....eh....well that's really not much of a change.

I live and work in Kapolei and I would go to the range at least once (maybe twice) a week during the weekdays if they opened back up at night. I try to go every weekend but my marriage might suffer. So I go 2-3 weekends a month. Occasionally I go both Sat and Sun (pistol and rifle). If they ever open the range up over here I would probably go most every afternoon after work. I use shooting to work out my stress and frustrations. >:D

I hate cleaning guns!

I'm on island and my guns are on the mainland. Next weekend though.....

Can't we start a petition to change the rules around there? It's a shooting range. Not set your shit up and sit around and talk story range. If the range master feels that you aren't necessarily there to shoot, then pack up your gear and go talk story someplace else. I dunno how good that would be to allow the range master there to use his own personal judgement on allowing you to stay though.
I also heard there was a waiting list yesterday. Yet on weekdays, they only open half the range? That' fucking makes no sense.

Rifle side usually has a waiting list even on weekdays. I hear that guys go down around 9:30 or so.
Plus, it is only open for 3 hours & as Ichigeki pointed out only half the range is open. ???
Budget cuts.

My excuse for not shooting is work. I work two full time jobs. I can take off when I want but I want to make the green stamps so that I can buy more equipment and supplies to use when I finally do get out to the range.

Unfortunately, I don't feel a petition (addressing bench hogs) would do much. If anything the "powers that be" would see it as a reason to dick with everyone...like charging everyone by the hour. Back in the day the RSO's would ask inactive shooters to free up the spot if there were people waiting. Not sure what changed. If anything, I think policy should require people to remain in their own "space". Congregating around 1 or 2 booths is unsafe and usually leaves firearms unattended.

WORK. It always gets in the way . . .

FYI, just got back from the range (SHOOTING) and waited around 15 mins for a bench. Still had a waiting list at noon, but not as nuts as Sundays. Lots of open benches at 1:30.

Couldn't agree with you more!

I almost never shoot alone. I usually shoot with at least one friend. If you know me and I'm shooting, you can share a bench with me. :thumbsup:

I am a nerd who enjoys video games, and I just picked up dragons dogma and waited for my new pistol to arrive. next Friday I will be out to shoot with my tan dickies shorts and black evil dead t-shirt. Hope to see some black powder shooters and try to get a few tips, while I shoot a few rounds with my glock
