Just read a post that said it's super busy on the weekends.  I've only been there on weekends.  Trying to plan an outing with my brother from the mainland.  What is it like on the weekdays?  Have to get there early to get a spot on rifle range?  Can I expect to be able to hit the rifle range when they open, then be able to get a spot on handgun side when I'm finished?  Thanks.

I was at the pistol side last Wednesday 12 noon and it was as packed (if not more packed) as when I go there on Saturday 9am mornings. Not sure about the rifle side.

During the week, I've only gone on Fridays.  I usually get there around 10 am or so.  It varies week to week, but I would say that the rifle range is usually mostly full by around 11:15 or so.  Sometimes it's full about 11:00 and sometimes not until right before it opens.  During the weekdays, the far right/makai stalls are closed from about the soda machine to the end, so there are about 1/3 fewer benches. 

I've also heard that Thursdays are usually more busy than Fridays.  I've never been, so I can't tell you for myself.  If you wanted to guarantee a bench on the rifle side, I would say plan on being there by 10:45 or so.  I don't mind waiting and usually just pick up food on the way and relax and eat while waiting for the range to open. 

I haven't gone to the bulleye pistol range that early, but in the times that I have gone to shoot pistol, there are usually a few open spots. 

If you do not make it there early enough to get a bench on the rifle side, simply put your name on the waiting list and go shoot your pistols.  The first wave of (rifle) shooters typically start leaving around 1 ~ 1:30, but it is a hit & miss.  So I suggest that you go check how the wait list is doing each (pistol) relay break.

I have never seen a waiting list on the pistol side during the week days.  And it usually has choke open target spots by 1:30 or so.

I always go at 1pm and I always get a table at 130pm during the week.

Thanks for the replies.  Gotta try figure out whether I'm going to focus on one side or try to hit both sides.  Had to ask because it seems to be open for only 3 hours on weekdays.  Bro is only flying in for a wedding for a few days and will be busy during the weekend.  I guess if I buy too much ammo it will give me an excuse to go again soon after.

Yeah agreed. It was a lot of folks when I got there Wednesday noon but there were slots available even then.  It got pretty empty by around 1:30pm.
