HDF, HRA, LIFE run point on this and let's get something done.
Easy enough to get the word out on 2A Hawaii for the rest of the cast of characters.

hound, look three posts up
we've tried three times already
unless someone has an in with the mayor, it ain't going anywhere
and he is not taking calls/emails/letters from anyone in the 2a community

Rumor has it that the Mayor is pro-gun, a hunter and a shooter.  Maybe we need to find a way to circumvent the "gate keeper" and get straight to the source.

Have we gotten 2000 signatures and submitted them with one of the tries ?

This is like herding cats.
We've got over 3000 members. That does not include HRA, LIFE and HDF members not on here.
And we can't get anything together ?

P.s. I appreciate your efforts though Mac and JL  :shaka:

HRA should have the in.  I've personally had some discussions (on this board, not face to face) with at least one HRA higher up who swore Caldwell was pro 2A.  I told him that was not the case.

I think that I've been proven correct in that I was right.

As far as visiting the range that doesn't prove squat.  There's pictures of a smiling Gabby Giffords and her hubby at a range and look how that turned out.

Heck Ren was just complaining in a thread about how the C&C can't even keep the toilets running and stocked properly.  There is a pretty massive yearly budget allocated to this and the other parks in the area and none of them, I repeat none of them is properly cared for.  Makes one wonder where the money is going every year..................
I wasn't complaining. Things break. Shi!t happens. Posted as a warning. I go #2 often. So imagine my predicament. I'm not Caitlyn.

On another note about $$$. Here it is!

If you joined up with any of the clubs such as LIFE, HRA, HDF, MPPL, or Practical Shooters you could... :thumbsup:

I get out there with MPPL and HPS whenever I can, but work schedule gets in the way...  One of these days, I'll get out to an HDF range day and see what that's all about.

Don't get me wrong, I love shooting matches, and I've met a bunch of great people, but matches aren't practice.  And shooting bullseyes at 25 yards may be practice, but it gets old pretty quick.  I listen to shooting podcasts and hear guys talking about how they went to an action bay at a local range and worked on El Prez or Bill Drills or whatnot for a few hundred rounds, and I turn green with envy... 

Speaking of upkeep at KHSC, was shooting on the pistol side one day, and as I broke a shot, a piece of lumber from the sunshade came loose and fell to the ground...  startled me a bit.  I looked over at the RO as if to say "I didn't shoot it!"  He said "Don't worry.  That happens pretty regularly."   :(

For the pistol, they could just remove the benches on one half of the range and remove the 25/50yd berms to allow you to place your own target stands and shoot from different positions & holsters.

Compared to the mainland ranges, I'd give it a 3.  Positives are the different activities that can be done in one place.
...
The conventional pistol range was built for nra 2700 style competition.
 I love the shooting bench. It's convenient and the covered range is a great place to relax.
The best thing that should be done to improve the pistol range is to poke some pipes into the ground at 10 and 15 yds.
Not for close up holster excerises, but for beginners. It's easier to see the pukas and boosts morale of the newbie.
I cannot advocate holster work on the bullseye range. Take a look upwards and see all those holes in the overhead baffles?
Imagine all the negligent discharges from newbies trying out their new quick draw kydex rig.
What, Me Worry?

I think the best avenue is to solicit the private club that is operating the silhouette range. I see no reason why you can't holster, draw and do other action stuff on that side. Besides I find it interesting that a private club is allowed to operate on City property as they do. I don't shoot there as I'm a brass whore.

I created this for spatial awareness.

The original image was screenshotted from Google Maps.

Seymour Smith Recreational Park in Omaha, Nebraska.
I used to play disc golf here in college.  Could easily hear buckshot blasts on the disc golf course.

Notice how close the skeet range is located to the adjacent scrap yard.
Notice how close the other recreational fields are to the skeet range.  The whole area is >100 acres dedicated to sports that require a lot of space including firearm sports. 

I know a recreational area of this size could hardly exist in Hawaii, but a man can imagine... :thumbsup:
