I went by Maebo's on 8-15-12 to pick up a gun I ordered and was told the range was closed.  Apparently, there were people abusing the property and acting in an unsafe manner?

Really that's news to me I am heading up there tomorrow.  Plus they just had a clean up day only a couple weeks ago.

Was there today from about 8:30 am until 1, along with 5 others who came by during the morning.including the owner of the property.

I heard some people went to Maebo's to get applications but were told that Maebo's is no longer involved with the applications and sent them over to Hillo Kine Wireless?? Does that sound right?

Range is still open.  There was just an email sent out about some folks not following the range rules as they should be and how people need to follow them a little better.  That's about it, didn't hear anything about Maebo's not having apps anymore.

WTF?

I'll check into what's going on; Blane (Maebo) is supposed to come up on Sunday (there's always a bunch of people there for IPSC) to talk about a two day defensive pistol course that his friend wants to teach, tentatively scheduled for the second weekend in October. 

The range is open, although the owner (that's me) has seen some unacceptable safety violations in the last couple of weeks (and some illegal stuff, like 13 and 15 round pistol magazines), as well as folks bringing friends who aren't members (which is one reason I've been wandering up to the range for at least a little while almost every day); if this continues, this may result in certain individuals getting thrown out.  Everything's cool with the KPPSC, though.

If anyone needs an application, PM me and I'll mail you one.

Thanks for keeping us all up to date C.C

 

See ya tomorrow Bo

Apparently, I misunderstood.  Sorry for the misinformation. Is there any restriction for firing centerfire rifles?  I'll check back with Maebo's and see if I can qualify to join.  I'm 64 and don't have much shooting time left.

As far as I know there's no restrictions on centerfire.  When you join you will get an email that explains all the rules and requirements for the range.

Had a good time at the range today got to meet four other members.  Everyone did a great job of communicating and being safe while sharing the range I hope to meet more members like I did today. 

Maebo's still have the appications for KPPSC. They won't accept any apps or payment. You have to send in the apps with the payment AND a SASE to the address listed.

Right now till Mid OCT, please drop by Hilo Kine Wireless and see Gaine Hakoda to drop of your app. Again have a SASE with your application and payment.

After Mid OCT, you will send  your app payment and SASE to the address listed.

ALSO a note on the dues. Its $25 per individual. Family up to 3 individuals is $35.  Thats immediate family. ie You, your wife, and kid. Not your friend, cuz, etc.  You still need a application for each person. 

You will get a email with the range rules etc. Please look over that.

Looking for a new club. I am getting ready for the move and I am hopping they are still taking applications.

Some time in April, the KPPSC will start accepting new members.  Look for applications at the various gun stores, and don't hesitate.  Dues will be $50/year and new members will need to have completed at least one NRA safety course (the course to buy a pistol counts, but NOT the Hunter Safety course that the state teaches for free).

Gotcha. I won't arriving until mid to late July. I would love to join!

Are there any restrictions on the use of FMJ ammo at the Glenwood range. I will be moving to Hilo soon, and I have some ammo that I would like to bring over.  Thanks

Any word on new members yet?
