So does anyone know what would need to be done to convince them to open back up the steel targets?

We would need to expel all the criminals occupying city and state offices, and replace them with people who follow their sworn oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Hawaii.

Well I was asking for a realistic solution... Someone made the call and we need to go to that person or go to their boss to get it looked at again.

It would be a significant feat and costly.  Range design, environmental Impact assessment, creating backstops, installing baffles or other safety features.  For the steel targets I'm guesstimating a half million dollars probably more?  I don't think people here realize what's involved..  Closing the trail would make things a lot easier.

not gonna happen
rifle range was designed for 100 yards ONLY
and it's not even adequate for that, the berm was temporarily fixed years ago
we not even supposed to shoot at 50 yards

If you want to try the get the steel targets back up, first step would be to hire a range consultant and have them create the plans.

First step would e to ask if they city is even open to allowing it.

I just went yesterday and they allowed steel at all distances (50/100).  Shot 100 with 22/223 and 50 with 22.

They've allowed steel at 50.  ONLY with .22 rimfire or black powder.  Centerfire at 50 is a no no.

Shooting steel targets is one of my favorite things in shooting.  I really miss the various steel targets that used to be out there at 200 yards and beyond.   :( Was a great way to confirm after zeroing on paper as well as fun challenge between friends.

Yup, that's why I go to the HDF open shots.  Can shoot steel with pistol.
