Live @ the silhouette range since rifle range is limited to 100 yards. Still gotta go fling lead on rifle side. Love to hunt Maui, Up country or Kaupo side. Only hunted with my M82 on Lanai & Big Island for Mouflon. Sooo Good fun...
Hope to shoot with you here or Maui - MO betta... Lol
Aloha

::)MB,
You ain't  a Lurker Lol....
Don't shoot my 50 BMG @ Kokohead of course. Shoot my 338 Lapua & win mag and other bigger stuff all the time. Bring some steel and let's play.
Going probably shoot my 416, 338 & favorite 375 tomorrow. What are you bringing?
...
Were you shooting a 308 pistol near the black powder side?
What, Me Worry?

Yup that's me.... boy did  HHAA do a great job yesterday and had a wonderful shoot. Had fun shooting my safari rifles and my Lone Eagle 308 pistol. Then went and shot steel @ silhouette. Buddy Dennis steel target needs to be replaced... got too beat up on a previous shoot. Ordering some new steel, ear cracked off  beside being drilled and pitted. 338 and 300 mags really punish plates, don't shoot Barnes either will make plated pukas..  ouch... lol  :geekdanc:
What were you shooting? Ruger #1 ? Was that your family  too?
See yah...  :wave:

Then I noticed the unusual 308 pistol having some misfire troubles.

Taking some New Zealand friends there this after noon.  So if you see a short Filipino guy flanked by two super touristy looking white dudes, stop by.

Or... the bird flew into the path of the bullet. Was there any comment from the RO?

oh, it was bad luck, not saying he shot him on purpose.  some guy had a target at 50 yards and the bird chilling was behind the target.


the ROs called him out on it on the intercom though and they called an early cease fire to go pick up the corpse.

If it was a one of those tall white egrets, then no loss. They are an invasive species.
There is talk of an eradication program for those things.

It is a protected species here in Hawaii. Even though there are billions of them all over the world. One RO who is no longer with us told me the fine for killing one is $500. He told me that at the same time my wife was still shooting the corpse of one she had killed about 30 seconds before. The bird had walked behind her target and she didn't even know it. She kept shooting her target and the corpse kept jumping with each shot.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yes, strangely enough it is. But protected is not the same as endangered.
In fact they do endanger real endangered species here.
Us fish and wildlife researchers have requested controlled eradication of the cattle egrets.
USFWS is a little schizophrenic in this matter.
