Thank you (and others) for updates.  I'm looking to get back into shooting my bolt action rifles again soon.  So hopefully things get ironed out.  If you (or others) catch wind of need for volunteers, RSOs, OICs, etc, please share.  Like you mentioned, communication is key.  I've reached out to SRGC membership, RSO contacts, etc and don't get much response.

Did you receive your membership card? I know at one point you reapplied again after, being a former member back then.

Yup. Good to go. Have to register a couple of rifles I want to shoot at SRGC, but otherwise all set. Do need to load up some ammo and revive my notes from where I left of when KHSC shut down.

Hopefully I'll be there this Sat.

looks like a beautiful shooting day.  that blue sky is just sumtin' else.  and a so-far-away berm, in contrast to KHSC.  awesome!  is it just approved service rifles only?  e.g. 20" AR-15's, M1A, Garands, etc?  AR-10's?  is 6.5CM ok?  are M4A1's allowed  (admittedly hopeless at 600yds)?   looks like a very disciplined measured endeavor.

thanks for posting, you definitely need to post more pics, more often.

all of the above are OK. limited to the calibers you mentioned.

I’m assuming military type cartridges only? 5.56, 7.62?

well, Ren said 6.5CM was GTG, and since M1 Garands shoot 30-06, I guess that's okay also, military provenance and all.  in addition to 5.56 and 308 (7.62x51).  Service rifles shooting service calibers.  but that's just just my guess.

it being a USMC range, I'm guessing probably need USMC Provost Marshal registration.

Nice.. I’m venturing into the magnum world soon. Is 300 wsm or 6.5 PRC allowed?

I've been emailing SRGC trying to start the PAM process since April and have had zero luck. The membership director seems to be asleep at the wheel or does not care, and at this point I'm ready to throw in the towel.

I've sent eight e-mails back and forth over the past six months and still have no idea how to start the process and no one is willing to help or provide any useful information.

I guess it's Koko Head or nothing.

@Fox800
the way you start the process is by showing up, in-person, at one of the monthly wednesday-night meetings.  there's one tomorrow night, Sept 6th, at the SR5 Trap/Skeet range, 1900.  You have to get there before 1900, because they lock the Kolekole gate when the meeting starts.  1830 is good.

Trap/Skeet calender shows a club monthly meeting scheduled for Sep 6th:  https://www.srgchi.org/calendar.html

map to SR5 (meeting location) here, bottom right of the page:  https://www.srgchi.org/rifle--pistol.html
be advised that the short road from Trimble Rd down to SR5 is not paved and very rough, potholes & ruts, not recommended for low-ground-clearance sports cars and such.  might be construed as a obstacle course for Mazda Miata's.

Attending the monthly meeting to apply to join this elusive & secretive club is probably spelled out in one of the membership documents, such as the club bylaws, para 4.3, posted under the governance tab:
https://www.srgchi.org/publications.html

the membership application form is under the "forms" tab.
membership application policy, and PAM policy is under the "club policies" tab.

club officers are all volunteers, and do this in their spare time.
If you're so inclined, you're more than welcome to actively participate in the meeting, and when the membership director gives his monthly report, you can raise your hand and deliver hellfire-and-brimstone and raise holy hell about how you really feel, and I'm sure the membership committee will appropriately annotate this on your pending application and prioritize your processing.   

all part-and-parcel of the so-called "cost of living in Hawaii", nobody every makes it easy.

Thanks for the help. I was frustrated because people were occasionally replying, but they would not actually tell me anything of substance.

Asked if they were still accepting PAM applications and how to apply, ignored.
They asked for a brief bio, I provided it, then was ignored.
Tried to follow-up multiple times across several months, ignored.

You're the first person to actually help me! Thank you.

the club-member sentry at the Kolekole gate will usually wave you on through, after all, who else would be on this road at this time.  But if you feel compelled to say something to the sentry, the secret password is "SRGC meeting".

entrance to SR5 is directly opposite of the entrance to KR3.  Take a left, and then the dirt road that veers to the left and down.

the last monthly minutes publication that had a membership status report is May 2023 ("2023.05"), under the Newsletters/Minutes tab: https://www.srgchi.org/publications.html

still had some openings at that time.  July, August meeting minutes haven't been posted yet, that "all volunteer" thing.
October's club meeting is tentatively scheduled for Oct 11th, usually the 2nd Wednesday of each month, unless there's some Army range scheduling conflict, like there was this month (Sept).  Always at 1900, annotated on the Trap/Skeet schedule.

major intersection: Trimble/Kolekole Rd, and SR5 (left), KR3 (right) entrances.

Does anyone know how we start shooting at MCBH, I heard tthere was a way you can shoot at the MCBH range? Is it apart of Pu'uloa? Thank you!

step #1 is you have to register your weapons with the MARINE CORP provost marshal.  at Kaneohe.  I think the PMO is identifiable from Google Earth or Google Maps, something like that, I think it's off of 3rd Street, drive in the main gate, make a left on 3rd (traffic light), go about 320 yds, make a left into the pkg lot. I think that's where it's at.

then it's just a matter of finding out what the shooting dates are.  I don't know where that's posted, maybe something to do with K-Bay MWR (Morale, Welfare & Recreation)?  maybe K-Bay Range Control has the dates posted?  dunno.

in case you didn't know DO NOT BRING YOUR FIREARMS! All you need to bring are the registration docs.

Someone told me open shooting was Friday’s or sometime during the week. I dunno if it’s true about times. But I’ve heard it was a nice range. I like try..

KR8A open this weekend. Also MP101 class that wanna draw from holster also this weekend.
