Just moved to Oahu, HRA shooting sports fair
« on: June 09, 2015, 04:09:21 PM »
Hello all,
Just moved my family to Hawaii (Oahu) ) and getting settled in my new place. I have half the parts I need to build an AR, which I am looking forward to getting built. In addition looking to get ready to buy some other new stuff. I noticed the HRA shooting sports fair and was not totally clear...is this open the public? I wanted to go down with a friend of mine and shoot some stuff. :) Looking to buy a pistol soon and really need some more shooting time with a few models to narrow down what I'd like. Looked like the Shooting sports fair is perfect place to try out some things!

Welcome!

The fair is open to the public.  Just bring money and eye & ear protection if you have them.  If not, you can buy cheap glasses and earplugs there.

You'll listen to a safety briefing, sign a form, and buy scrip (tickets).  Scrip is then traded to shoot skeet (various shotgun gauges), handguns, military style firearms, bow & arrows, & air guns.  At most exhibits, the number of scrip you spend determines the number of rounds you get to shoot.  So, the cost  will vary by what you choose to try out.

Recommend carrying water around with you, use sunscreen, and wear a hat!

It's fun for the whole family!  There's a lunch wagon there most of the day, too.
