Well, I'm here zero dark thirty again, as usual, not too busy this Sunday for some reason.

 It must be because of these heavy winds and chill breeze. I don't mind, it's good practice for wind shooting.

I took a look down by firing points 79-83, and what do you know, a new sky light!








 
The city can waste millions of our fricken tax dollars on BullSh*t, but our ONLY public range is in such a state of disrepair that it is a safety hazard!!!!!
If they shut it down today, because of this sh*t, I'll be even more pissed.
 

Wow they must be catching cracks from the wind last night and today

I see other areas where the roof might let go on the rifle side. I will update if the range(rifle side) closes today.

Letters are going out to my city rep. again today!
This is UNSAT!

Wow!!!!  I was there yesterday and wind was blowing Ike crazy...rifles were getting blowned off the benches I even saw a target frame fly from the shooting area all the down an hit a truck...I was pretty bad

The rifle side of Kokohead Shooting Complex is CLOSED today.
When this shit will be fixed? Your guess is as good as mine. 

the side with no benches were repaired by the small bore league. perhaps if we had a community effort to fix the range? Friends of Kokohead SHooting Complex? I'm willing to help start it

I'm down!
Let me know.

Let me know if there is some organized effort as I would like to help. I was there at 7:30am this morning. Left Kapolei about 6:45am and got there in plenty of time to get a bench. Then a little before 9am they closed the range. I heard they might close the metal side and pistol side. Can anyone confirm that? Maybe I can still shoot until the rifle area is fixed?

I was at the pistol range when they anounced the range was closing.
As i was driving out i saw the people at the silhouette range packing up.
I assumed they shut down the entire range.

34 miles X 2 = 64 miles / 28 mpg = 2.3 gal of gas X $4.15 = $9.55 + a wasted day in my life when I could have worked some OT  If I had known the range would be closed due to the city's negligence = priceless.

Thanks mayor Carlisle.

This is UNSAT!

Ren, I'm willing to volunteer time to help.

I've got my own tools.

We could call it the 2aHawaii restoration project.

I'm in too!

Great idea!

Sorry guys but I'm against it.  This is something that should be handled by the City with our taxes.  As an alternate they might want to charge a nominal fee for shooters to bring the range up to where it should be, more benches, range supplied frames, etc.  Should help to chase the campers off the range as well.

I am with you 110%, in that the city is responsible for the upkeep of the park.  However, If we wait for the city, especially with the current administration, to do anything to upkeep the sorry sight we call KHSC, the place will get shut down due to safety concerns.  Perhaps this is just what they want.   If someone gets hurt from flying debris, falling roofs, collapsing brick walls, and comes down with a lawsuit, they'll have the perfect excuse to shut it all down.

I said it in the other thread and I'll say it here too...  This State's laws prohibit the public 'Bearing of Arms, therefore, with the range closed, the citizens of this state are unable to exercise their right to bear arms, and this is a blatant infringement on our Second Amendment Rights!

Sure the taxes we pay should cover the repairs, but they are spending the money elsewhere and the way things go they won't stop spending the money there.  I'm not against some type of usage fee, but like Heavies says if we wait on the city to do something we'll be waiting until the cows come home. I believe the best way to get help is to help ourselves and take care of the problem ourselves...same goes for the proposed range on the west side.

There must be enough in taxes collected in gun and ammo sales over the years to make it a top notch facility but
it is spent on other worthless projects. imagine if the closed all the golf courses here?
