After nearly ten years of shooting at the Koko Head range, it finally dawned on me why we are limited to loading 5 rounds and prohibited from rapid firing.

people can't listen enough to stay behind the yellow line during a cease fire and you expect them to be safe rabid firing?
there's always stupid games people play with safety such as:
- when the RSO is not looking either touching their gun or with stuff on the table
- casing behind the yellow line because they either were allowed to do it at another range or they know enough because they are in the military

 

 
I just got a nice brass burn on the back of my neck from last Sunday.

Lol What movie is that from?

That's hilarious!!!

I've had the privilege to shoot at ranges across the country. By far and away Koko Head is the most restrictive to the point of being ridiculous.

So it matches hawaiis gun laws...

The no rapid fire and 5 rnd mag rule keeps money in my wallet.

That reminds me of a time I took my kids to the pistol side...I was so focused on standing close and working their safety/fundamentals that I didn't realize they'd been peppering our neighbor with brass for almost an hour.

While funny, it is not the reason...the rules have been around long before the restrictions/laws on the books now.

I don't get to shoot as much as I used to but I avoided this range for the most part -- I preferred to use the SGRC Range.

You may have to visit more ranges. I've been to hundreds of ranges, indoor, outdoor, public and private...with the exception of the 5 round limit, the rules at KHSC is pretty much the standard for safety and liability reasons.

I was at Clark County Shooting Complex when an RO shot a full auto clip. I asked if that was legal and he said they are there to make sure everyone is safe, not enforce the laws. SMH

Not sure the ranges YOU have been to, but the ones I have allow the shooters much more freedom without a compromise of safety.

KHSC rules I've never seen elsewhere:

No human silhouette targets.
No targets with two circles placed vertically.
25 yd minimum distance.
Build & Bring your own target frames.

been to AZ ranges
Lots more lax.
They allow you to touch stuff on the bench while down range. I've seen shooters handle guns while people are down range. Very trusting.

I attribute the range rules are for political correctness, location, lack of funding, and it being a public range.  The no human shaped targets are to assure the range isn't creating murders.  KHSC is in a bad location with housing developments in the impact area whereas mainland ranges are usually in remote locations with lots of empty land all around.  The reason the range has a lot of limitations like the 5 round mag limit, 100 yard max range, no rapid fire, etc.  A lot of these limitations can be overcome by improvements like better berms, baffles, training, more RSO's, etc but there is no funding and since it's a public range, no political will.

On the bright side, public shooting ranges are a rarity on the mainland.  One that doesn't charge a fee and has the different types of shooting sports in one place with regular hours is unique.  KHSC might be the only one of it's kind in the nation.
