Whoa, take it easy.....   

No sense in getting crazy.  There are so many new shooters the range is going to be busy.  Some of these old timers have been there long before many of us.  Not saying its wrong or right, just be cool about it.   


Maybe direct your frustrations at the correct place, the city, get more ranges built and more staffing and hours at kokohead.  And as stated before, don't wish for pay to play, WE ALL already pay for the park. JMHO

LIFE class today was fun.  Nice to see that the wife is starting to get the bug.   She was a bit intimidated at first, but the instructors did an excellent job of encouraging her to just relax and shoot.  After failing in my attempts to teach her golf and how to lift weights properly, I learned my lesson and left the teaching to the professionals.  I tested her when we got home and she remembered everything.  Thanks again to the LIFE Instructors today(Bill, Lyle, and the rest).  I've been shooting for years, and I still managed to learn a lot.  Thank you for everything.

LIFE class? can I get more info on that?

Google Life Hawaii handgun course

hahaha..............well said !!!

Early birds get the worms or benches I dont recognize the term "old timers". Everyone is a user of that park, theres no estebliished seniority. Do we need senior citizen discount cards or something?

Almost forgot.  I heard the RO of the silhouette side getting notified that a gun was stolen from a bench from the bullseye pistol range.  At least I believe they said bullseye range.  That HPD was called down and report filed.  Must have been before 1:30 pm since I didn't see anything while I was there. 

Anyways, be careful of your equipment.  Something that I was afraid of, especially on the rifle range, as the the craziness with prices of guns that we're going through now.

I thought there was a rifle bag (with rifle inside) stolen from the rifle range last year as well. 

Not sure about the details from yesterday.  Sounds like basically the owner walked away for a little while and when they got back the gun was gone.  Not sure if it was during a target change or something like that.  Yeah, the ROs are watching the line closely, but that's still a LOT of stuff to keep an eye on.  I usually go to the range by myself and I've gone to take a leak and never felt uneasy about that before.  I might get a cable lock for future range sessions if I'm by myself.

There are a number of LIFE instructors on here.  I was at the range yesterday talking story with the other instructors since I was there to help a friend test his handgun. 

The swearing is pretty out of hand, especially since there are more and more kids around.  I'm no saint, but I'm guessing folks with kids do not appreciate that sort of language.

A young couple walked off with my bag of brass once. I think it was inadverdently. I noticed it missing after I set my gear up. There was a bunch of young adults / teens once that appeared to be casual observers and they asked "I like sampo" and I said hell no. When I use the bathroom, I case up and take all my firearms with me.

I feel the same way... happened to me too I went range bymyself, and ate too much in the morning, and then had to go poop super bad after about an hour of shooting, but I held it and waited to get my target and pack up.... I swear to god almost Shart my pants!!! now I always invite or make sure u bomb before the "line is hott" haha...

for the class I would love to go but weekends I'm on call so hard to plan stuff.. the videos looks like fun on the website!! I definatly could use more handgun time

Why do you want to see PooP?   LOL

I'm curious why we don't have a paid system, with short (30min-2hour?) reserved slots. If public golf courses do it, why wouldn't it work at Kokohead. I for one, don't mind dropping $5 (or more if it helped add features) to hit the silhouette side, i'm sure most wouldn't bat an eye to do the same for an hour on the Target sides. I would assume some kind of limits on per person/per day for reservations, with open timeslots as first come first served afterwards.

..  but seriously, If we are going to grow the sport, and get more shooters involved, things will hopefully only get busier. We need to make this a more open and inviting experience for the newcomers & the regulars. Not a ...  wait for hours and hours just to get a seat thing. I mean, we already all did that at HPD to register ...  amirite?!

When I was reading it with all of those details, I thought for sure it would culminate with him shitting his pants.

Why do you want to pay for something you already pay for and is your RIGHT to do.  My suggestion is to work your lawmakers to represent your rights.

I agree, so do you know which lawmakers to write to?  Is it by district rep?  I'm still learning the whole politics thing and trying to understand which people have the power to help.  I don't mind writing to help the cause.

Write your city reps first, because this is a park.  Then it would not hurt to write your senator and representative as well..  Hell, write them all!
