This is good news for hunters, target shooters (me), and anyone wanting to legally sight in a firearm. Maybe with a LEGAL shooting facility, we may see less threads here and on local Facebook pages about people shooting guns at in, say, HPP.
I read a different article about this the other day, and it had more information. That article said the location would be at a spot where shooters have been using for a while at mile marker 16 on Saddle Road. A drawback is that members have to have a hunting license before they will be allowed to use the facility. That means taking the local hunter safety class and passing a test. I'm not a hunter, and will not be hunting here. Fpr me, target shooting is an end in itself. I passed Washington State hunter safety when I was 14.
So, my questions are: 1.Will there be a range master present? 2. Will there be shooting benches, target frames, etc, or do we have to bring our own? 3.Fees, days, and hours? 4.Will there be a separate handgun area or?
This is a good step in my opinion. Hawaii is very restrictive concerning firearms. I get that. But, ignoring the needs of shooters won't make guns go away.
