I just registered on this site. I was born and raised on Oahu and moved to Kona in 1981. I was shooting competitive 3 position rifle in the ILH and competed in the Kamehameha Invitational and Maui Invitational for many years. I used to go to Koko Head Range almost every Sunday in the early 1970s shooting .22 target rifles and a variety of handguns. My coach and I were intermittently called upon to run the rifle range which at that time was with a bullhorn.
On Hawaii Island, I was a "regular" at Shooters Choice (until it closed) and would help the Japanese tourists from time to time. I've been active with the Boy Scout Program for about 15-20 years and was an RSO (rifle, handgun, shotgun) for many years.
I am not a hunter. I prefer punching paper and clays.

Welcome to the forum.

There are a number of sub-forums and topics on this site better suited for your particular discussion.  I recommend posting your question in a new thread so others see it. The New Member area isn't really where you want to post those things  if you want others to see it and reply.

Since this is firearm related, the General Discussion sub-forum would be okay.  Give it an attention-getting title so others will be interested enough to read it.

There are members who've dealt with that clearance issue who can tell you what they did, but with the rules recently changing, you might be better off contacting HPD directly first.  Then you can post  what they tell you in order to get other opinions and also share what the new rules involve.

Good luck!

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Tell the group a little about yourself.
Eg. Where you came from.
Where you are now.
What is your field of interest re firearms.
Who do you already know?

Seen this hasn't been done in a while. Scrolling through the posts bored at work.

I'm James, people call me Wally. I'm addicted to buying firearms, it's burning a hole in my pocket. I'm not new to guns. But new to buying them I GOT THE ITCH!!! Bought to many in the last two months. (Can never buy to many, RIGHT!!) I've been picking up gunsmithing, love fixing and taking things apart learning the ins and outs. And I'm learning to stipple.

I go to the range 5 to 6 times in a month. If anyone wants to tag along. I'd like to improve my speed and accuracy, and grouping every time I go.  I heard the Metallic Silhouette Range at Koko head is opening this month. I will be checking that out!

Thanks for having me in the group.
And let's all rock out with our Glock out!!!  :shaka:
