For pistols bought from different dealers, can I list both on the same permit app or do I need to submit individual permits for each pistol?
Also is 25 yards still the  only target distance at the pistol range?  Haven't been there in 10 years but want to start going again.  Thanks.

separate, i believe

25 yards only on the pistol side

25 and 50 yards

One application per hand gun even if from same shop. If you buy five hand guns from one shop you have to fill out five applications at HPD.

+1 absolutely correct

Thanks for the info guys.  About 10 years  ago I was able to put 2 pistols bought from the same dealer on one permit, guess everything gets more complicated with time.

Am I the only one who thinks they should put closer targets on the pistol side?

I'm new to shooting, only about a year now, and while I'm sure that practicing on 25y will make me a much better shooter in the long run, having an opportunity to shoot closer would do wonders for my confidence. I also wonder how many other new handgun shooters give up because of the challenge?

i went to HNL firearms thursday and paid $$$ to make sure my new (slightly used) pistol was sighted in correctly
so i agree with you
changing the pistol distance will require a redesign of the range
and this takes time and money
it's why we were supporting budget increases for the parks dept to improve KHSC this week
if you want things changed, please get involved and stay involved
this is not directed personally at anyone on this board or this thread, just an explanation and a plea for help

I told Daniel at KGS the same thing earlier this year and he said " why don't you come to the LIFE Fun Shoots". After the "what's that" and the "it's on my website" ... I went to the one in January. The targets were staggered at about 5 to 15 yards, you get some instructions / exercises and you shoot. It was perfect for the me, being new to pistols. I went to the pistol range a couple of weeks later and I couldn't believe how much better I was shooting. I wasn't shooting great, just a lot better. I hear a lot about the HDF Range Days and when I get more experience I definitely plan to attend those but for now the LIFE /HRA Fun Shoot seems perfect for me.

This policy has changed over time because I put at least 10 handguns on one permit but that was decades ago.

One application per hand gun even if from same shop. If you buy five hand guns from one shop you have to fill out five applications at HPD.

The explanation I received was that federal reporting laws have changed.

I don't know if its the truth but I was told that at the registration window.

There is a new form to fill out on multiple firearms purchases. More than 2 within five days.
Thank you Mr blacbama.
