the way you start the process is by showing up, in-person, at one of the monthly wednesday-night meetings.  there's one tomorrow night, Sept 6th, at the SR5 Trap/Skeet range, 1900.  You have to get there before 1900, because they lock the Kolekole gate when the meeting starts.  1830 is good.

Trap/Skeet calender shows a club monthly meeting scheduled for Sep 6th:  https://www.srgchi.org/calendar.html

be advised that the short road from Trimble Rd down to SR5 is not paved and very rough, potholes & ruts, not recommended for low-ground-clearance sports cars and such.  might be construed as a obstacle course for Mazda Miata's.

Attending the monthly meeting to apply to join this elusive & secretive club is probably spelled out in one of the membership documents, such as the club bylaws, para 4.3, posted under the governance tab:
https://www.srgchi.org/publications.html

the membership application form is under the "forms" tab.
membership application policy, and PAM policy is under the "club policies" tab.

club officers are all volunteers, and do this in their spare time.
If you're so inclined, you're more than welcome to actively participate in the meeting, and when the membership director gives his monthly report, you can raise your hand and deliver hellfire-and-brimstone and raise holy hell about how you really feel, and I'm sure the membership committee will appropriately annotate this on your pending application and prioritize your processing.   

all part-and-parcel of the so-called "cost of living in Hawaii", nobody every makes it easy.

Welcome.

Our only public range is closed until maybe April if we're lucky.  It has been closed since September 2022.  There are a few indoor ranges, but I refuse to give them my money if all possible.

For the handgun safety class, check out:

Danger Close Tactical 808-690-7186

It's hard to do this class because the only public range has been closed.  DCT has a range that they use.  He also does the LTC (CCW) course.

Make sure to read our HRS134 very carefully.  There are a lot of laws here that TX doesn't have. Like it's illegal for you to go grab lunch with your gun in your car after leaving the range. Or stopping at star bucks to grab a coffee while on your way to the range.  Handgun mags cannot exceed 10rds. 

If you have any questions, post in the "Legal" section of this forum and others can help answer them.
