Anyone going? Just curious. I'll be there with my new Glock 19 and Springfield Loaded Target 1911 if anyone wants to try them out. I'm only bringing 150 rounds for each gun, so... :thumbsup:
-
does anyone have any more info about what the life fun shoot is?
-
Every 4th Sunday of the month, LIFE sets up this event at Koko Head where you can meet new friends and try out other people's firearms. Note that this is all volunteers so bring your own ammo to be considerate.

I'd be there every fun shoot if it wasn't for church.

nah, im taking my handgun course that day. but i really want to make a funshoot sometime.
-
I try to go to the fun shoots to help when I can, but I'll be shooting at Schofield this month. That and have to watch how much ammo I go through. It's no unusual to go through quite a bit of it at the fun shoots.
Have fun. All of the regulars are pretty friendly and super helpful.

-
I'll be there. Gonna show up early, to help set up. :shaka:

Load up any legal mag to da max and fire as fast as you can safely.

Rules for the action bays at KHSC say 10 rounds max. I have the letter directly from the range master.

You have to be an HRA member to attend. Good thing about these fun shoots, is that you can sign up, right then and there.

Do they use metal targets or paper?
-
Last time was paper.

Dolomite, it depends on the event. Past targets have included paper, metal, water bottles, chopsticks, shotgun shells, lumber, balloons, clay pigeons, and self-healing magic bullseyes, plus another handful that I'm forgetting right now.

Those are usually for the competition events though.
The typical targets are primarily paper. There is usually an open shoot where the water bottles typically come out. Sometimes there is steel, but everyone has to remember that those are restricted to handguns only.

This type of weather is exactly when things should be held to test your equipment and understanding.

We've been out there in rainy weather before. I assume as long as the access to the action bays are not washed out or flooded that they'll give it a go. For the January fun shoot, there was a huge storm that was forecast and I remember that we were prepared to take down the tents and other stuff if it got nasty, but the storm didn't hit the area.
I'm planning on shooting out at SRGC Sunday, otherwise I would be at the fun shoot.

Yep. I took a carbine class in AK last September and cold weather gear and gloves were a must. Living in Hawaii, we don't typically NEED gloves. All of that affects how you shoot, handling of your firearms, mobility, comfort, etc. A long day of shooting in the hot sun is very different than a long day shooting in cold and wet conditions.

You can join on location. But, yes, you have to be a member of HRA.

You have to be a member...it's the least you can do since they're paying the insurance and arranging everything.
Membership is $20 a year.
