Hawaii News Now has an article up about it.

http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/24543658/koko-head-shooting-complex-to-reopen-saturday

"The remediation work cost the city a total of $94,140.00 and took 10 working days to complete."


Idk much about construction and epa stuff, but that's a lot of money!  Grateful it was used for the range.

Holy smokes! They installed hi-tech anti-richochet astro turf!



Anyone know how these newly installed eyebrows are supposed to stop richochets and inadvertant shots? Does it work off the idea that if you can't see above a certain plane, you're less likely to shoot above it? Or does it work because it is made of adamantium thereby causing an inadvertent shot to richochet in the immediate vicinity of other 2aHawaii members thereby causing the errant marks-less-man to be run off the range permanently by an angry mob of  members, thus eliminating further incidents of inadvertent shots by the same clown?

that's a file picture
not a current one

eyebrow is made of wood and plastic
it's a "visual reminder" not to shoot high

So we can shoot at 50?  Sweet!  How's the new down range target stand pipes?  Did they install new ones?   Is there a new "rules" sign?
