Designated small arms ranges, permitted calibers and target distance are: (a) CR-2 and CR-2A, up to .30 caliber for rifles, .45 caliber for pistols and 12-gauge for shotguns, and the maximum target distance is 300 meters (except for the four-firing points on the right side of these ranges is 500 meters with OIC’s approval); (b) KR-3, rifle only up to .50 caliber, and maximum target distance of 1,000 meters (but no individual is permitted beyond 100 meters downrange); and (c) KR-4, up to .30 caliber for rifles, .45 caliber for pistols and 12-gauge shotguns, and the maximum target distance is the fence line.

Checked the calendar.  Seems like KR3 and KR4 are potential.  I thought Nov was similar.  They don't use or get the CR ranges anymore?  I recall (maybe 3+ years ago), it was mostly CR and rarely KR. 

Looking forward to shooting my .308 and 6.5 cm, so either KRs sound good.  I recall could shoot pistol at CRs, but there was that ditch where the targets would need to be decently far away.

correct, no more CR1, CR2, or CR2A.  those days are gone.  KR3 is the long distance range, out to 1,500.  Depending on Range Control and OIC of the day, can post targets out to 300 if nearby adjacent ranges are not in use, i.e. if Army isn't using CR1 or CR2, etc, due to overlapping SDZ (Surface Danger Zones, bullet impact areas).  But 300 is a long walk, down and back.  at times, like now, there's steel silhouettes from 500 out to 1,500.

KR4 is the shorter range, about 80yds max (fence line).  KR4 is rifles, pistols and shotguns.  some KR4 pistoleros like to put out multiple targets at, say, 7yds, 10yds, 15yds etc.  good fun.  static shooting position, though.

if you're shooting 308 and 6.5CM, you really want to be up at KR3.

back in the days when SRGC used CR1 (600yd range), we hardly ever got KR3, maybe couple times a year, if that.  Perks of KR3 is that allowed caliber goes up to 50BMG (not that anybody recently shoots 50), and the distance is essentially unlimited.  Since CR1 was permanently assigned to an Army unit, we now get KR3 rather frequently.  fingers crossed, knock on wood.

Cool.  Yeah, that would cover my current interests.  When I was member, it was almost always CR and occasionally KR4.  KR3 was few and far between, and when it was open, was usually filled super early.  For my bolt action rifles, I mostly want to shoot 100 yards.  Still early in load development for those.  But eventually, would love to shoot steel longer distances.  Yeah, 300 yards is a far walk.  I recall on the rare times could shoot longer at CR (the 600 rack I think), they used to drive out there to start and then pick up target when all pau.  That was WAY too far to walk. 

KR4 would be good too.  I am taking a couple of pistol classes on the mainland next spring and rust is forming  :(

SRGC membership approved. . .  :geekdanc:

Can't make it to the range this weekend.  However, going on leave for two week starting next week, so will try to make time to load up some ammo.

it's not like KR3 or KR4 are going anywheres.  not a problem.

this weekend is the last shooting days of the year, until Jan 2023.  Weather forecast actually looks pretty good.

only thing I worry about, is Jan/Feb are notoriously wet, muddy, slippery, and miserable for KR3.  Same for KR4, although not as slippery and muddy.  Might be March until we see the return of nicer weather, who knows, weather is fickle if anything.  we'll just have to see.   :shaka:

Saturday I work. Sunday probably. Wanna send out my last batch of 155 Palma down range. Those Palma’s are hammers out to 1550+. After that, gonna experiment with 185 hybrids. Or jugs if I can find some..

I was going to shoot some rifle last weekend, but it was SUPER windy.  Would have still been fun to shoot with the gusts to about 30+ mph where we were at, but didn't end up busting out the rifles. 

I vaguely recall KR4 (or maybe it was another) that has a short dirt access "ramp" from the road to the range level. 

I'll definitely be loading up 6.5 and .308 over the Christmas "break".  My work schedule shouldn't be that crazy Jan-Feb.  End of March and April might get nuts again. . .  :(

Looking forward to getting the bolt action rifle shooting again.

I'll check my stash.  I might have some Berger 185 gr hybrids.  I for sure have some 175 and 168 gr SMK if you would like to try some.

I'll check when I get home.  I might have some 200.20x hybrids.  I don't recall if I ended up getting some 185 gr jugs. 

Hopefully Berger is catching up.  I was able to get some 140 gr 6.5 hybrids recently.  Those were out of stock for a long time.

Windy? I don’t recall it being windy.
Really?  When I left town Friday morning, it was blowing pretty good in town.  I got some high wind warnings from work.  We were in Wahiawa/Haleiwa area over the weekend and it was gusting pretty hard at times.

I don’t know about last Friday or Saturday. But past Sunday was nice and a bit over cast. Lots of us at KR3 and over at KR4. I always check https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-158.09326171874994&lat=21.49087551879188 for updates on forecasts.

Oh, ya.  Sunday wasn't too bad.  Was camping, not that far from Schofield.  Wasn't too windy Sunday morning.  Lots of downed limps as we were making our way to my friend's camp site.
