Got here about 5:15am and there are about 6 or 7 benches open. So far it has been quite windy but no rain. Hopefully the rain will stay away today.

How is the wind out that way?

pretty windy out here at times. Sun is just starting to come up so it is getting windier. It feels like 5 to 10mph constant with gusts up to 20-25mph. That is just my estimate, though.

Not a 5.56 day then. Cool I'll bring out the 308 instead. Thanks :thumbsup:

I brought out my 5.56 :(
Glad I didn't bring my .22!!! :D

Another great day. People shooting zombies, tin cans, bowling ball pins to my left and right. People practicing drawing from holsters, rabid fire. Pretty cool. Motivated me to look at muzzle brakes. Looking at the BCM comp. or VLTOR. Shooting in the wind offhand with a 22lr is a great challenge. Windy with small episodes of drizzle.

Where were you shooting. I didn't know you could do all this @ Kokohead.

you can at the action bays
-
I am surprised you would even think about shooting any 5.56 or .308. Way to expensive to replace if you can even find any anywhere. Craziness at mainland stores
-
you can at the action bays
what calibers are you allowed to use there? i currently only go to the rifle side.
-
What do people do between 5am to when the ranges open at 9?
-
Hopefully you're not there by yourself. If you are sleep or just talk story with whoever is on the benches nearby. Thankfully everytime I've gone there I had other people with me so it wasn't bad, but most of the shooters there are pretty easy to talk to. Met some really good guys there in the morning

not sure on caliber restriction, but the distance isn't very far. we usually don't shoot anything higher than .308 for rifles.

Don't bring your kids with you that early. Way too much swearing from those early birds. Every other word is F this or F that!

.308 is not allowed on the action bay side, as far as I know.
.223, 5.56, 7.62x39 are maximum rifle calibers allowed.

thanks. where's it at on the range relative to the rifle side?
-

On the opposite side of the range.
The silhouette, rifle and pistol side are on the Mauka side.
The action bays, trap and skeet are on the Makai side.
-
Mauka Makai ? The range is in a valley.
Isn't the archery range Makai ? :rofl:
-
if your shooting at sillouette side, turn around and look across the field

The archery range faces the mountain.
The action bays face the ocean ( kind of)

Thats why all I shoot is 22 fir practice and centerfire before a match.
-
People ahve bought up all the factory ammo here on the mainland and even components to reload are drying up. Seriously crazy.
-

When you driving in its on the left side.
-
thanks guys.
as far as only shooting .22, i have work on weekends and classes during the week, so i cant shoot that much since school started back up.
i dont mind blowing 2-300 rounds of .223, i have 800 and i'd be surprised if i go through all that by the summer, i just dont have that much opportunity to go through the range

I inquired about it in November and was told to the same thing, put the application in and wait my turn. I figured I just let someone else get a chance. I regret not applying before when I still was in the IRR.

Membership renewals come up in middle of summer, at least I think. Last year, a bunch of associate members were late on their renewal and some were dropped, making room for new members.
I thought the last newsletter, or maybe it was the previous one, mentioned something like 10 openings.

If you know an active duty guy(s) get on them to join up. More active duty peeps the more associate members get in and yes the renewals are in summer so that's the time to check up on applying.

I hope when I joined more slots opened up. :)
Any members got the dimensions for target frames so I can make up my 12 hour commitment?
