I'm going to make my own silhouette range.....at home with my airguns  :shaka:
at least I can shoot some steel. although not as satisfying as shooting steel with my 44magnum   :'(

Haven’t been to kokohead since it’s reopened. Is the rifle side target frames way longer in size now? 
“** Effective Saturday, June 3, 2023: For rifle range targets, center of lowest target must be at least 5 feet from the ground.”
That’s taller than my previous entire target stand.

I guess I’m just venting…or hoping the measurements provided are incorrect.

Assuming this design would be sufficient.  Seen a target frame someone was selling that was over 7’.

Don’t make my mistake…my first frame had the lowest target at 5’…I didn’t take into account that the frame legs would sit into the pipe.  It’s closer to 7’6” now

How’s the wait at kokohead? I totally forgot you have to make a reservation and I like go tomorrow but it’s completely booked from the morning. If I show up without a reservation what are the chances I can get a table at 9am?

Registration gets booked quick which opens online 5 days before the day you’ll actually shoot.  When I tried to reserve, it gets booked within two days.  I want to go shooting bad but there’s nowhere to unless you pay an arm and a leg.  I also contacted DLNR to maybe open up an area for hunters and the public to shoot and supposedly they are working on
something.  I’d love to see that happen.

8am on each Monday. I start trying at 0750 and keep trying until I get in. So far I’ve gotten the time I want. Heard there are a lot of no shows so you might be able to get a table……it’s really a hit or miss.

I went shoot pistol today. Got there about 2pm. Pistol range was fairly empty. Maybe 30 to 40% capacity.

Are they out their measuring stands to make sure you aren't 3" too short?

There’s a mark on the wall when you check in.  I’ve seen them tell shooters to take the bottom target off when it’s too low.  It’s just easier to extend the frame.

I just looked at a spare 2x2 I have in the garage for target repair.
It’s a full 8 footer. I thought… Seriously, we have to make stands that high to stack targets ?
Glad I got a truck.

Got there at about 930. Had plenty open benches on the pistol side. Damn it was good to get out to the range.

i had to travel for work in march so i did not keep up with this development at all, as the range was still close when i moved.

I just moved back home, and thought i was going to have a nice range day.  What a pleasant surprise to find out that half of the range is still closed, and i need to remake or repurchase all new target stands because this stupid county can't be honest about anything.

Probably wont be able to shoot at all this year.  great.

Pistol range yesterday
This guy starts moving my stuff without my permission of touching my stuff
So I tell him a few times "what's up brah?!!!" A few times
He ignores me. Turns out he is storing his shit in the closet area and my shit is blocking the door. bc he's in some 'club'. That's cool, just let me know what you are doing before you touch my shit. I don't care who you are or what club you are in. Don't touch my shit without my permission
I came this close to giving this asshole the beatdown of his life for touching my shit
Lesson in range etiquette. Don't touch my shit without permission, unless you want to get bitch slapped
