How do you join the club?

what "brass policy"?  you can't collect your own brass?

You can collect your own brass. Once it makes it to the bucket, it's theirs. I'm all for them selling brass, other than I reload my brass 5 to 10 times, then i dump it in the bucket. In the past some of my brass already had the "Glock smile" I would be Leary of the brass there.

May have something to do with changes to the range layout.  The club shoots their matches to 100 yards on the left side.  I'm guessing there will be a new 50 yard berm on the right side to meet safety compliance.

Just a guess.

correct. new layout for the range. if public is to shoot at 100 yards there needs to be new berm made on the right side.

How do you join the club?

when they re-open just ask for the form to join. supposed to be $18 to join
that's what I plan to do

Now it's pushed back to mid July

Now it's pushed back to mid July

This year?     I was looking forward to shooting at the silhouette side soon.  Whats the delay?

need to clean up more and waiting for more steel targets

Update on when we can shoot the silhouette side?

It looks like they might open in late July. Keep your fingers crossed. 

Well… we’re in August now. Did the reopening get pushed back to September?

Here is the good news:
The netting to keep spent shells from impacting others will soon arrive.
The new PA system is now operational.

Now the bad:
The silhouette range does not have insurance coverage and
the range cannot operate with out insurance. The club is seeking out
a policy that is affordable and still provides adequate coverage. The club is
optimistic about finding the right policy soon. 

The long shut down period has aggravated the situation. Going dark created
unforeseen issues. Right now the insurance industry is hell bent on soaking their
clients and denying new clients unless they pay thru the nose. The club is in a
new client status. The controversy over the lead contamination and the advice of
the independent contractor/advisor added more fuel to the fire.


On a personal note I truly believe that the insurance industry sees themselves
in a no lose situation. I recently tried looking for a new company for my home owners
policy. I got a lot of grief and bs thrown at me. I finally decided to go back to my old
insurance company even thought they wanted a 60% increase.

On a local tv channel I watched a discussion about the insurance issues affecting Hawaii
home owners. A woman who represented the insurance industry spoke about how some
HOA's did not have adequate reserves and insurance to cover themselves and the people
in the HOA. She also spoke highly of the need to install sprinkler systems in older buildings.
She and the hosts glad handed each other over the fact that the legislature is wisely seeking
to fund the short falls for both of these issues.The only winners in this are the insurance companies.
More taxes and more tax payer money will be used to help out the "poor' insurance companies.
I am sure the insurance companies sent out their boxes of manapua and other goodies to their
favorite politicians to show their appreciation.

Insurance sucks.
Last year I had to pay $1800 to cut our mango tree or no homeowners insurance.

Insurance companies are full of sh*t.

There.  I said what everyone is thinking.

How would that even come to their attention? Were they saying it was too big or they wanted it gone?

This is on Maui. After the Lahaina fire the insurance company sent people out to look at houses, even if it's not in Lahaina. We were so sad because that tree produced the best mangoes I've ever tasted. It will take about 2 years to start producing again. the reason was that some branches were hanging over the house

Another thing about insurance and trees.  If the tree is rotten, diseased, or growing at an angle and could cause major damage to the home, the insurer expects you to shoulder the cost of removing it.  However, if it falls on the house and you didn't know it was about to fall, insurance will pay for the damage.

The problem is it's a Catch-22 if you try to file a claim before it falls.  Then the insurer will have proof you knew it should be removed before it can fall.

It's worse if you knew, and the tree falls on the neighbor's property and/or injures/kills someone.  That makes you negligent.

I just helped my in laws with trimming their mango tree due to complaints from the new neighbors (renters).
I am too old to climb trees but I have a pole saw that will do the job. Mango season is pau so no fruit was
wasted.

I bought a climbing harness with a short section of rope and carabiners to be safe. Now I climb up and hook one or both carabiners and I am secure. Still young enough to climb but too old to fall.

Not yet. Bumbai

I suggest contacting an Attain Insurance agent or Lloyd's or London agent.  They sell specialty insurance to unusual risk. 

The industry as a whole will start writing more policies starting next year.
