Never really payed attention to it but, where is the best place to grab already made shooting frames for KKHSC?

Do we place the frames into a certain holder, or do we need to also manufacture a base?

The place that sells stands the most visibly is Young Guns. The other stores you sort of have to ask them for it and they bring it out kind of thing. I bought my current rifle stand at the gun show for $15.

You can see KHSC's frame plans for rifle and pistol at their site. Having a base is not necessary. Just legs at a pre-determined width you stick in the holes at 50 yards and 100 yards.

Security equipment and young guns sells them.

Young guns stamps their name in their stands though in attempt to get free advertising.
Smart business move.

Easily fixed with some spray paint....

Better yet, they should just give the stands away or charge 5 bucks for them so people can feel good about advertising for their store.

Keep in mind only one of those two companies support CCW in Hawaii for us regular non-LEO folks. 

As Dregs said, the plans are on the site. Don't buy one, make one. It's actually very easy to do, especially if you have them cut the wood to length at the hardware store. From there, you can just nail it together or use carriage bolts & wingnuts.

This... Just have City Mill (thats who I go to) cut one length of appropriate wood to the 2 lengths needed (2 legs, 2 cross beams). All thats needed is to drill a total of 8 holes and secure bolt and wing nuts. Takes like 10-15 minutes once you get home with the pre-cut lumber. Only pain in the butt part I have is getting cardboard cut (I have some old tri-wall from work, super hard to cut it). To secure, just use some good ol duct tape to secure it to the frame. 

Read the classified in the Hawaii Rifleman.  There's a sweet deal on stands in there for HRA members!

Tom - I never got mine =(.   I think I might need to update the address.  Who do I do that with? Also, could you give me the # to the person with the stands.

732-7066 is the number for the stands

Man builds target stands - We do not buy

Actually, I do the whole "get lumber cut at the lumber yard" thing, and assemble my stand with C-clamps.  That way, I can press the cardboard between the legs and the crossbars for a secure hold, yet completely disassemble it for easy transport and storage.

I hear through the coconut telegraph that a new indoor range will be available about May 11th...30 meters.  No lumber required.

I'm ready to get my locker. I am just wondering how busy it will be.

I also heard that the range will be like the Scottsdale Gun Club in Arizona.  It will offer competitive pricing over Magnum firearms. 

I still don't know what range you guys are talking about O_o

Is that the one in Waipeo that was mentioned on ForumsHawaii a while back?

Also, for stands if you're going to build one you might as well build several.  Cut and drill all the pieces at once and you'll have a nice pile of ready to assemble stand.  I made the mistake of thinking I'd make two perfect pistol stands and I'd be able to use them forever.  Two new friends on one trip to the range and I already need to replace parts. 

Just in case anyone was wondering, 7.62x39 beats C-clamp.

City Mill is where I go and thanks to a few gun friendly guys in lumber, I don't even have to drill anymore. For cardboard, tri-wall seems a bit heavy duty. If you're using that you probably don't need cross pieces. Just staple the tri-wall to 2 legs.

If you mean Shooter Ready, I heard it was dead in the water due to permitting issues. Their site has been down for awhile too.

x2! But having a few extra pieces (precut and drilled) is about all thats needed. When my kids split a piece playing "Annie Oakley", it takes a minute or two to swap it out. The key is using and reusing good hardware. I choose stainless steel wingnuts and bolts, then add flat washers to keep the wood from cracking from overtightening or flexing.
