The range in Glenwood (on Route 11, 17 miles SW of Hilo) is open again.   The Kahuku Practical Pistol Shooters Club is now handling maintenance and insurance, so anyone who wants to shoot there will have to join the KPPSC, but dues are only $25/year, and the range is open 8-5, seven days a week;.  Matches take priority, but the only match actually scheduled these days is IPSC on the third Sunday of every month.

Applications for the KPPSC are available at Maebo's International Supply, which is in the same building as the Maebo Noodle Factory*, 2036 Kilauea Ave, Hilo (behind KTA), Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10-4 only.  Ring the bell on the office door and ask for Will.

Or, if you can't make it to Maebo's you can email me at

rtbrgs@gmail.com

and arrange a time to meet at the range and fill out an application.

There's a pistol range (with a berm at 60yds) and a rifle range (with a couple of berms; you can set targets out to 220yds or so; 100yds is marked, and 200yds has a steel frame to hang targets on).  Members get the gate combination and can shoot whenever the range is open.

crazy cat,

Out of curiosity, does membership in the KPPSC happen to qualify one for CMP membership?

Yep they are on the list.

Thanks, Paul.

"The M1 rifle is the finest battle implement ever devised."  And one of the competitors used his at the match on Sunday.  "Heavy Metal" indeed.....

Mahalo!

I'll swing by next week Tuesday.

Aloha, Frank

Freekin Sweet! I just moved to Hilo from CA a month ago and was wondering about a local range.
Once I'm a bit more settled (i.e. have a car and had my ammo shipped over here) I'll be able to sign up and start shooting.

Hi, this is my first post here. I just sent in my KPPSC dues yesterday in the mail. Already got the code and permission to get into the Glenwood range from Bo. Waiting on getting the ID and stuff from the club.  I'd  like to go up there this coming week to check it out and get some range time in, but I'm going to need some help with directions on getting there. I kind of know the general location, but I'm not real familiar with that area.

Walena,

I sent you a PM with directions.

Got it. Thanks a lot, crazy cat. IF the weather cooperates, I'm hoping to be out there soon.

Sent mine in yesterday with a coworkers app.  Hope to check it out next week Saturday.

Thanks for the tip in the other thread, I havent spent alot of time yet on the forums and did not even catch this thread! I definitely plan on joining. I will probably end up heading out to Hilo side when I get to the island to look at some vehicles. I'll have to see about picking up an application or meeting with you!

Thanks again for the info, crazt cat. made it out to the range on Friday morning. Was a bit rainy all the way out from town until about 10, then it cleared up nicely. It's a great looking place to shoot. Spent some time sighting in the rifle at 100 yds., then  got some pistol time in before I had to leave. Looking forward to going back there real soon!

Me and a couple of friends were down there pretty much all day on Saturday.  Had a good time.   Please bring items for fixing or repairing target stands.  I'll be more prepared next time.  I left some cardboard in the bathroom if anyone needs.

Is Maebo's still the place to go for the range application and payment?

Yep you can get the application there but still need to mail in your payment, a SASE  and your waiver form.
