Is there anywhere to practice with a crossbow on Oahu?  A friend recently moved from the mainland and asked me but I have no idea.   ???

Its actually not allowed anywhere here on island.  I believe the exception to the rule is if your handicapped. Sheesh they get all the perks. Including free parking.

Yup, I did see that.  I thought that answer was specific to hunting with a crossbow based on the following post in that thread?  Is this true for practice shooting as well?  I may have misunderstood the earlier thread.  Thanks! 

I guess he just has to make friends with a someone with a big farm or something.  Maybe the new X-Ring range...kidding.  :shaka:

Very good.  Thanks for the info.  I will let him know.

If anyone knows of any other location available to the public, let me know.

Has anyone asked Mike or the C&C why there is a prohibition on crossbows at KHSC? 
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.
