It is mentioned in another thread but you have to read the thread to get the info. The entire range is closed now due to high winds.

I WAS scheduled to help teach a LIFE Class today.

Got the call that the range is Closed(Again)due to wind Damage.

   Just got to go pick them up.  Limited printing.  Several weeks After Legislature Starts.

  Good Luck with parking under building.  Best is 2 people go. One drops off, other moves to

     park elsewhere.  Pick up when called.

How is this angle?

The range needs to be open 7 days a week for as many hours as feasible, our tax dollar support it and it is our constitutional right, state and national, that we are allowed to 'Bear Arms'.  Hawaii's laws prohibit the public bearing of arms, which is UN-constitutional, therefore, the public provided range is necessary to  allow the public to 'Bear Arms'.

If the range is closed, that means that our rights are being infringed!

Were they expecting another one of their RSO's to fire off a flare?


Anyhow was down there yesterday shooting at the metallics.  One of the guys helping out on the line gave the all clear to go hot upon people coming back from setting up targets.  Luckily for the Brass Vulture the guy in the booth was paying attention otherwise the range would have gone hot with him out at 150 yards.  That's about as close as I've seen to someone getting trapped out there.

.............and now back to the regularly scheduled program.........

What I just don't get is why they have to shut the whole bloody range down. Shutting the entire range down is  a real inconvenience to everyone not to mention our brothers and sisters on the Leeward side. Perhaps a twitter account that alerts subscribers may help alleviate some of the inconvenience.

Unlike the previous recent incident, this was a legitimate safety hazard to anyone in the crater.  Closing today was the responsible thing to do. 

Now, admittedly, the source of the problem was poor maintenance, which is not a good thing.  That deserves a complaint.  But being proactive to keep people safe?  That doesn't.

It does actually make sense.

I was at Kokohead yesterday and it was so windy that dirt was blowing all over us and a tent flew by me.

Kind of dangerous having loose aluminum panels flying around. Like the master of the flying guillotine.

10-4 on closing it down.  It was getting hairy, there are also numerous other roof panels ready to let go.
 My gripe is with the blatant disregard for the upkeep of the park.

Anyone know if the range is going to open tomorrow?

I hope they're open, I need to test a new shotgun. 

FYI the range is open. That is all.

Thanks Myanmar, good intel.

Are the wind damaged roof panels fixed?

No, they removed the panels and taped off the area. I was at the pistol range today, i'm going to try and make it to the rifle range
friday.

How many benches are now unusable? I just wonder how long they will sit in their current state.
