Just wondering if HPD/other law enforcement agencies will be able to use the skeet and combat action bays during this shutdown?😏

Once actual construction starts the entire range will supposedly be shut down……. 

Oh no...

More they going miss during shoot-outs with the bad guys, lol!

We citizens had better start wearing body armor and Martha Stewart crockpots on our heads.

But seriously, I wouldn't be surprised they are still allowed to use the south bays.  "Rules for thee but not for me".

Mrgaf.. It would make SENSE for safety reasons.

But they still do quals for law enforcement. Cpb, air marshals, fbi, etc all use kokohead. Unless they ask nicely of hpd to use their range at Waipahu. Or they may simply construct a temporary berm of concrete dividers or something to divide the action bays from the construction site. I mean right now there is no "safety" wall in place. So no difference. Or they can be smart and make everyone qual over the next 2 months before construction happens. Or just do construction 4 days a week and leave that 1 day for them LE do their thing. Haha. Oh well. Looks like I gotta buy me a 22lr rifle now. Ive been putting it off for other stuff but seeing how this situation unfolded .. I guess its time.

Kinda off topic but I was thinking:

22 LR will soon be something shooters will be seeking to replenish stocks.  Supply and demand?  Prices going up?

LGS and ammo suppliers should start ordering plenty NOW!!

Or for those guys who have hundreds of thousands of these gems, now is an opportunity to sell your stock so you can have money to buy your latest pew-pew toy!!

 

I'll be there!
bringing some hot 44 magnum since I can't shoot them for a while   

I guess I'll hit up the pistol range.  I have off tomorrow and Friday.  Been meaning to replace batteries on a couple of pistol red dots and confirm zero.  Looks like we'll be without centerfire ranges for 2+ months.

A motivated contractor with material could so said $300k improvements in a week.  I've seen it happen, including at Puuloa. . . just need effective management

I have plenty of .22 lr, but mostly match ammo.  I haven't seen prices going up.  I have seen stuff that hasn't been in stock for a while come back into stock. 

Let me know if you are in dire need.  I have some "regular" stuff lying around.  Some are from my dad's stash that he left me when he passed away.  Not sure on quality or accuracy, but I have quite a bit of it. 

Also hit up Kaleo Arms to see when their next shipment is.   

KITV was out at the range today

They want to transform Kokohead into a cat park - 1st one of its kind on Oahu

Speaking of Knudsen…

Magic bullet strikes again

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2022/08/17/city-makes-changes-shooting-range-after-ricochet-leaves-car-window-broken/

Is there pictures of the one in a million shot? Or at least the aftermath?  Not to cast doubt on the event happening, but if I found a blue lobster I would take a picture of it.

Bullet appeared to be a 50 bmg AP core missing copper jacket.

That's not a common caliber.

Did anyone bother to check the range sign-in logbooks to see whether anyone was shooting that caliber the day of or close to the alleged timeframe of the strike?

Must have been gongho

50 BMG

was not allowed for years after the air force was firing and round left range to kalama valley home

But my 5.56x45 and 7.62x39 IDENTIFY as 22LR.  They have to let me shoot those calibers, otherwise they're discriminating against me!  Racists!! ......I want my own bathroom and free college!!!

I will support your caliber identities if you simply would just stop saying WALL!

45acp is slower than 22LR
At times at silly side on the rare occasions that I do miss the steel targets, which is very rare  , I can see the 45acp projectile skip a couple times off the ground and then end up in the berm

It definitely is interesting with the right lighting, when you can see the 230 grain .45 ACP projectile in flight.

I started thinking the same thing.  Usually when there are mishaps like this they show the damage, in this case the car and also the bullet.

But nothing.

Also I thought nobody can shoot .50 caliber at KHSC.

And then this bothers me:  If the safety concern was a bullet by a one in a gazillion chance it impacted a dud round in the berm and ricocheted back to hit the car, then how is an improvement to the berm gonna prevent this from happening again in the future?  Is it the berm that is the culprit, or the dud round?  What if it hits a rock?

Because if I remember right, last year "they" claimed to have removed the lead (projectiles) from the range berms to eliminate the amount of lead present.  They shut the range down a couple of weeks.

Definitely one of those "Hmmmmm....." moments for me.

There was no lead removal from berm. Firing line was cleaned at that time.

Reminded me of this video



My understanding was that .50 center fire was not allowed.
Seen some.416 out there though.

Powder monkey, where’d you get the info on the projectile ?
