The range has had the community all around for many years.  My question is, why did it only start raining bullets in 2013?
A new venue would be fantastic, except I don't believe it will happen in my life time.

Forward needs a first step.  Otherwise, one is just standing still.

So................who wants to tell him the reason why he wouldn't be able see the eyebrow is because he's taking pictures from the wrong side of the range?  I love it when people try to sound smart or educated on a subject, and fail at it.

Just got this from HRA:

Quote
The entire Koko Head Shooting Complex remains closed for remediation work.  Not withstanding a KITV News report, the opening is planned Wednesday for noon, Jan 29, 2014, per Rangemaster Mike Muramoto.

 

The work is progressing nicely.  As of 1:30 pm this afternoon, it appears that the Rifle Range eyebrow is framed and 1/3 roofed, the large sandpiles have been distributed from the 50 yard target line to the backstop, and there are large piles of clean dirt at the 100 yard target line ready to resurface the backstop. 

 

Mahalo to Mayor Carlisle, Parks Director Toni Robinson, Rangemaster Mike Muramoto, and all the County employees who are working so expeditiously to re-open the ranges.

Just saw the repair work pics on his twitter.  Don't know much about construction, but what is the purpose of laying out the sand on the range like that?  Guessing the dirt is going to be used for the berm.  And yeah hopefully they covered the holes, or maybe they'll make new ones since the old ones were filled with dirt and rocks.

I can only hope that the sand is in place to allow shooting at closer targets.
the sand is to fill in the ruts as you walk to the 100 yard line

Do other ranges have sand? I hope it doesn't become a problem after a rain and wet sand gets stuck to your shoes and ends up all over the bench areas. Or gusty winds blowing the sand around. I'm sure everyone knows what it's like to get sand blasted at the beach. Rifles and sand don't mix, except AK-47's of course.

I was thinking they was going to use the sand to level the area out then, topsoil over, followed by grass.  Too nice?
