For those of you who don't know this about the silhouette range
« on: September 24, 2013, 12:34:39 PM »
A couple of friends and I went to the silhouette range this weekend. I knew the Range is  privately owned but I just assumed that the rules were the same as the pistol side. Anyway I found out that pistols can be loaded to capacity. all  10 rounds and rifles can be loaded to 10 rounds. Unlike the pistol and rifle range where you can only live five.  Just thought I tell everyone who didn't already know

Is silhouette more fun than target?

I always shoot at the target range. But once in a while I go over to the silhouette range because it's fun to shoot metal objects at different distances. Plus you don't have to repair your target.  So yes I think silhouette is more fun the only downside is it cost five dollars to shoot

Keep nagging them. Would love to do some 9mm rifle shooting. Gives me a reason to buy another gun (for my son)  :thumbsup:

Heck, I don't see why they wouldn't allow all pistol caliber carbines.  Would love to take my 38/357 lever guns out there

I also shot only 5 shots at the silhouette side

and it said up to 10 shots
reading the rules really helps.   :thumbsup:

Let me get this straight.

1. Pistols - Any size caliber
2. Pistols - Max capacity magazines even up to 33 round extended magazines?
3. Rifles -  Up to 22lr
4. Rifles - 10 round capacity

1. Pistols - Any size caliber.  Yes

2. Pistols - Max capacity magazines even up to 33 round extended magazines? Hawaii state law applies here. Any magazine over 10 rounds in a pistol is a felony

3. Rifles -  Up to 22lr. Only 22lr

4. Rifles - 10 round capacity.         Yes

I'd love to shoot the steel with a 357/38 lever gun as well.  That would be a lot of fun.  Not really sure why they don't allow it and I was surprised that they don't.  Seems logical to allow a pistol caliber lever gun.

Oh OK, the way it was worded I thought we had a loop hole.  :crazy: How come only 22lr? You can't use something smaller like .17 or .177 air rifles?

This question keeps popping up.  I've asked, as have many others.  The answer I get is that the club is operated by, and for, a club that does handgun silhouette competition.  The rules of their range reflect the rules of their sport.

Depending on which club member you ask, some say .22 LR only, others say any rimfire is ok.

This is the answer I got.

I took my PC9 there and shot it for about three hours before anyone noticed it wasn't a 22.

I was salty but it is their range and their rules so I didn't bring it any more.
