I heard they will be open but I don't know how reliable my source is. Sorry.

Thought this picture of a biathalon range was interesting, maybe for our longer range targets?  Put "eyebrows" on those to mitigate riccochet/spall from flying.

mike said today that they will likely be open

Biathlon is fired with .22 LR. The design would be much heavier and farther away

 It would be interesting to use a biathlon format at KokoHead. Fire 10 shots then pick up your rifle and gear and run around the crater. That would stop a lot of the bench campers.

I didn't see this in the notes from the town hall but these are some note garnered from a club email

3 additional recent incidents besides the stray bullet case of 27 Oct. 2013:
    a.  Another stray bullet impacting a house in the subdivision by Sandy Beach.
    b.  A stray bullet impacting the soft canvas top of a vehicle by the Botanical Gardens.
    c.  A hiker claiming that she heard a bullet whiz by her while hiking the trail going to the top of Koko Head.

The third one brings up the issue of the illegal trail.

That's like a drug dealer saying someone stole my drugs...

It's probably more like a bee... Got plenty bees up there...

Hot chicks in tights would always help........

If this Ranger's target is Bi, I really don't care if she has eyelashes or not !

Going though withdrawal symptoms .... Had a whole week of vacation and had to scrub my plans to get some range time in...


Maybe I should start play'n CoD with my kids

Wow, Biathlon looks like an awesome sport.

Macsac,, I will be on the mainland for the holidays and will miss the clean up.  I'm going to send you some dough to use at your discretion.  Thanks for all that you are doing for the shooting community.

A biathlon course/range would be awesome !!!

This is a true shooting sport made of skill and endurance.

Bring this back to the top.   One MONTH and still no progress on re-opening the rifle range!  Let us not forget, this is the only public place you 'MAY' exercise YOUR 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS on this island! !!!!!!!!

This is due to the EPA regulations regarding lead in the soil and mitigation and safety issues for surrounding areas and the workers involved. The bureaucracy moves like molasses in winter. Fortunately we have the Mayor on our side, and having spoken to him and some of the other principles involved, I think we're actually on the "fast track". We have " He who shall not be named" to thank for the delays.

And yet......

At least 2 people were "rescued" from the trail up Koko Head [ at taxpayer expense ] yesterday. While they were knowingly breaking the law by trespassing on an unsanctioned trail.

Things that make you say Hmmmmm............

Amendment xxx

The right of the people to hike illegally up a dangerous path, then be rescued by the counties first responders and paid for by the taxpayer, shall not be denied.

Are these illegal hikers arrested or fined after they are rescued?

Amendment xxx? Ahh yes, must be from the "new and improved, rainbow unicorn" version of the Constitution. The one Obama apparently believes in.

Kind of like the old and new testament of the bible.

Personally, I've always been an old testament fan. Why change it if it works?
