How far can you shoot at the range?
« on: December 23, 2014, 08:08:26 PM »
Can someone tell me how far shots can you make at the Kokohead range these days? I haven't been there in a few years. I'd like to take my SR9T out for some long range shooting. :thumbsup:

This is what I heard from a friend in the club.

I believe the CR range is limited to 100yd due to a technicality in the agreement between the club and the base but it goes out pretty far and the military can shoot past 100yd.

The KR range shoots way far.  I don't know the exact range but it is pretty far.  I heard that they have permanent metal targets at 200 or 400yd but I forget which.  it is just available less often.

Not sure what ranges everyone has access to at Schofield but KR3 goes out to 1500m.  There are fixed targets at varying distances and not sure if clubs have access to the "Ivan's".  Depending on who is using the range and who is occupying the nearby ranges, range control may dictate how far downrange you can place your own targets.  So generally that distance is 100 or 200 meters.

If I recall correctly from my last OIC/RSO briefing for SB on the ranges that you can walk down range to place targets you can only walk in 400 M due to concerns with DU in the impact area. I second what Surf has mentioned above depending on firing on surrounding ranges you may not be able to go downrange.

They told us that you can only walk down 100m on any range. After that, you need to get their permission.

Do they allow metal targets? 400m would be a nice distance. I'll see at the club meeting in January. 
Thanks for all the replies!

Merry Christmas!

Once MCBH's rifle range is back up in Feb then 300m Ivans are available and you can always shoot at the steel tank targets at 500+ on the hill.  Just don't shoot the birds.

Is this range open to civilian DoD?
What ever happened about the West Oahu shooting range?

What is this range you speak of? We could wait until the C&C finally closes Waimanalo Gulch Landfill (ironically not in Waimanalo) and lobby to use that real estate for a range.   If the State and or County cared you would think they would approach the Army to contract and use Makua for a small arms range. I understand the cultural sensitivity of using that land, small arms usage on a properly constructed range should not impact native archeological sites deeper in the valley. The land is already a range and it sits idle, it's doubtful that the Army/DoD will clear it of UXO and turn it back to the people might as well shoot on it.

MCBH Inquiry a few months ago...

2nd and 4th Friday's per month
1300-1630
You can sponsor 2 people. Must be 14y.o.
must bring registrations for fireams.
call range control a week in advance to confirm, as training will take precedence over civi shoots.

Wanted to check it out but never got around to it. It's a long drive for me.
