I realize my question was apparently not specific enough.

If I go to commercial row and purchase a gun from any of the vendors, I.e. RRA, Les Baer, Kimber, etc., can I just give them the money and get the gun and take it back with me in my luggage, or will I need to purchase it there and then have it shipped to an FFL. Anyone with experience purchasing a firearm at the National Matches, please provide some guidance. I've already used Google and haven't been productive.

Some residents (like OH) can buy & take @ point of sales (stomp…stomp)... All else need to buy on site and have it shipped to FFL.  Talk to your Team Civilian Coach, he has FFL or Mr G.  If for what ever reason you are able to transport it back with you, ensure its abides by TSA/specific airline regulations i.e. no more than 5 wpns in one hard pelican style case with dual rinky-dink TSA approved locks.  Also since your team is traveling on official government orders, have a copy of it inside the case-it WILL lighten the burden on TSA agent poking at your hardware.  Oh, make sure you DECLARE it at checkin.  Better yet call the TSA in advance to let them know you are traveling with government firearms/ammo, it might expedite your checkin process.

Is there a Schedule for these weekend shooting clinics?

Puuloa Rifle Club fires here every month (used to fire Pistol to but i don't think they've shot pistol in awhile for some reason) If your interested in firing the rifle from 200-600 yards than i would look up their website and inquire about joining or firing as a guest. not sure if you HAVE to join their club to fire on the days club...i do know that if your a Marine, they will provide match gun and ammo to participate. you will need to coordinate this with Marines working there.

The Marines that work there sometimes host Saturday rec-fire from 08-1200. they had one last week, AD service members and special guests. They invited civilians that lived next to the ranges which is pretty intuitive idea, since they work and live in the same area. To say the least,  it was great experience! they brought out M16, M4 rifle, 9mm pistols and match .22 and .45 1911 pistols. we all signed a form preventing any one from suing the military if we got hurt. We started at the 7 yard line familiarization phase with all weapons than we all participated in combat style (diluted version for safety) shooting with our choice of wpn which was quite exciting. it was organized and ran very well and it was much better than the usual firing, repairing target than just firing again all from the same distance. They also gave a clinic  after rec fire pertaining to "bullseye" type of shooting which is one handed from 50 and 25 yardline. it was very humbling to shoot a weapon one handed and do so from that far away!

I think next rec fire is scheduled for 23 Mar, once its concrete i'll let you know.
