Be ready because this is the kind of bullshit you can expect come the next legislative session.  They will build upon this and we will lose a lot more.  They got a big surprise last time as they weren't prepared for the level of opposition they encountered.  Don't count on being that lucky this time around.  Once they close the range for "mitigation," it becomes an issue of $$$.  Where will the money come from?  If the funds don't get approved, you guys are screwed.  Just think, when they close for repairs they probably close the ENTIRE RANGE.  That means no shooting whatsoever.  If that doesn't motivate people to get involved, then maybe think about heading down to HPD to turn in your guns for destruction (like the guy from that other thread) as they will be pretty much useless when there is no place to shoot.  Myself, I can only get so involved because I don't live on Oahu.  But I continue to do my part by regularly contacting anyone and everyone regarding these types of issues.  Don't get complacent, the fight is just beginning from what can see  :shaka:
It is what it is.

If people shooting paper (not steel) into the burm how did the ricochet happen? Was it from shooting diagonally at another target?

Just curious...


I believe they are saying the round that was found on the pistol side was a rifle round. 

There are people shooting rifle rounds at the silhouette range, so i think this is why they closed that side too.

No ones here except a few guys on the pistol side and one of the action shooting clubs
A few guys on the rifle side that look like our guys waiting to see what's going on
No media or politicians yet

Well, if it this means the range might be permanently closed, I could live with them installing firing tubes. And, God forbid, even wooden baffles.
