I want to practice shooting my pistols does Honolulu Farms allow rapid fire... I know they suck in price... But I got a friend who's paying ... :D.... I basically want practice double ;) tap
-
If they do have a rapid-fire restriction, an imperfect substitute, just to develop the muscle memory, is to load a dummy under or after the live round and click away.
The main practice element there is the recovery from the first recoil... at least, that's the way I see it.
Hadda do that at one range a long time ago. I still do it once in a while just to save ammo when "refreshing" with a long-unused gun. I load dummy, live, dummy, live, dummy, live, to the mag or cylinder capacity, making sure the last round (first one in the mag) is a dummy.
For them double-action revolvolatin' guns you have to think about it a second or two more, and remember the direction of cylinder rotation*. First time I did this with a 7-rd revolvolator it confused me, but it worked out OK.

* Smiths rotate counterclockwise from the rear of the gun, Colts rotate clockwise. Rugers go counterclockwise, too.

haha ..... the only thing is if i (my friend ) is going to pay a premium to shoot there I want to do double tap or something along that sort of lines....

Well, that's what I was getting at. If you can't do rapid fire double taps, do rapid-fire bang-clicks with dummy second rounds.
My experience is range officers pay extra attention to members with guests, so be extra diligent on the rules.

been there, lots. double-tap, triple, from the holster, kneeling. be safe.

Thats a good technique. You get to feel like your double tapping, feel the trigger reset, get your second "shot" off, practice malfunction drills, etc.

I double tap all the time and mag dump pistols all the time at HF.
They're ok with it as long as you're safe.
-
I done double-taps and mag dumps. never got in trouble before. also while in the show room, they just chuckle it off when they hear anyone dumping mags in the range.

Used a slidefire there a few months back. Just gotta warn everyone first
-
What store has the slidefire stocks? OGC and HF didn't have them. Or did you just order on-line?

X-Ring stocks them normally. They have a shipment coming in next week

SOmeone was doing double taps today at Kokohead. ROs stopped it though. Glad they did cuz some people need to learn how to shoot first ;D
-
HF prides themselves on the rapid fire at their range. Ive got a bad habit of fondling firearms when I go window (display case shopping). Every time at HF they tell me about discount range time when you buy. And the fact they allow rapid fire.

Many people can't control rapid fire and with a trail nearby.............
As for 5 rounds, you got me.

Hey, I've been around the block with firearms a couple of times. Listen to the old man.
Oh, and marriages, too.

One reason for 5 rounds is the fact that some people should not be working on their own firearms. I've seen a couple of rifles fire bursts due to issues with their firearms. Sometimes it's from guys doing their own work to lighten trigger pull, some times it's a genuine mechanical break down.
Figuring some people cannot even control the firearm when they are prepared and even a skilled person won't have the reaction time when they aren't prepared means you could have a runaway.
That being said, it would probably only be a couple of rounds and without sufficient resistance from a properly shouldered firearm, it would probably jam.

was there first thing this morning
rapid fire ok
i guess they still have free range fees on sunday, but i did go with a member, so i don't know if that made a difference
9mm was 18.40 a box with the member discount (on second thought, maybe it was 18.40 before discount)
i'll have to check with my friend at the super bowl party and confirm the proces

Per NRA and CMP rules, rapidfire is 5 rounds in 10 seconds at the 25 yardline shooting one-handed for Bullseye Pistol.
For High Power Rifle, it is 10 rounds (2 magazines loaded with 2/8 or 5/5), sitting position, iron sights, 200yards, 60 seconds. At 300yards you get 70 seconds in the prone position.
Much of Koko Head rules were modeled from NRA and CMP style shooting

They allowed us to shoot both buck and slug, but that was during a class, so not sure what their policy is during typical open range time.

so i can grab a lane and just shoot above all the targets ?
i was hoping HF would allow it so i can try rapid fire. i also need to see if i can cycle birdshot yet. last time i was at the skeet range my saiga wasnt cycling birdshot at all >:(

Can u use a bumpfire stock in thier range?
-
Good question i would like to know the answer to that.

I think your question was answered earlier in the post...
-
their site says you can only used ammo purchased from them on their range. is this true ?
-
yes
they can kick you out if they catch you with outside ammo
when the changeover first took place, i heard they even searched some people's bags

Not to mention, it also has to be purchased then and there. Even if you bought ammo and didn't use it all, moment it leaves the store it's considered "Outside" ammo.
