Hawaii lacks a facility that allows for different shooting environments both indoor and outdoor. Most of us only use koko head and shoot down a "lane", which is for most people sufficient to keep their shooting skills up to par. However, for people interested in shooting under simulated stress without being in a real dispute is a far reality for us in Hawaii as far as I know. So with that being said, what are your guys' must haves for a shooting facility? I know there are alot of factors that limit the possibilities such as cost of real estate and the lack thereof, but we can all dream.

As always safety is #1 so that means good quality RSO's.  They need to be able to evaluate the skills, knowledge, and attitude of the shooters for everyone's safety.

Indoors - probably proper ventilation and bullet traps.

Are there any large land owners on the Big Island that are gun owners? Wouldn't that be your best bet?

My  ideal shooting range = Nobody around for miles, can shoot whatever I want, at whatever I want , whenever I want. Better yet, do it off the back deck

Hand gun range....Can it be more like 10 yards?...hella far out

On a mountain top with a lot of different angles to shoot from . So you can practice high and low elevation shooting . Capable of over 2 miles of range with a good back stop .

Surviving the Game

My ideal range is having it my back yard, lots of acreage.  You can test your reloads instantly, and shoot and do what ever you want on your private range, whenever you want

That is my dream, to one day be able to do this.

Why long for a range when you can have an office like this?

+1, I can nail targets at 25 yards and most others on this board can as well but it's hard for newbies to really get into the sport when they have to start off shooting at 25 yards and can't hit even the paper at that distance.  They see they can't do it and just give up with in the first mag or two (doesn't help when others snicker at them) which is bad for the sport, bad for the local retailers, and bad for them since they give up and never actually buy a gun of their own. 

There are lots of private ranges on Oahu.

But that's the problem they are private.

I have been to several of them.  Helemano has the most.

When we get a day at this range, all other events for the day are cancelled.
