Uspsa In Honolulu, Hawaii

[glock17w]

After being in Korea for the past 8 months, I am taking a mini vacation get away to Honolulu, Hawaii. I was wondering if there are any shooting ranges where you could rent guns or is there a shooting range where I could just possibly come and watch the match. I haven't shot a match since I left the states. The only range time I get is on the military ranges and that is not much. I am anxious to get back to shooting somehow. Hopefully someone in Honolulu can point me in the right direction.

I will be in Honolulu from Wednesday, 24 August - 28 August, fly on 28 August and get back to Korea on 29 August.

Thanks.

Glock17,

Theres an indoor range on a shopping "boulevard" on Waikiki beach. I dont recall the street name. If you dont get any other replies drop in there. If theres an IPSC game in town i'm sure they would know where.

for contact info in honolulu, call ian or richard. you can also PM badkarma on these forums. they were the old timers in this game when I started 20 years ago, one day when I grow up, I want to shoot just like them. they usually shoot on sundays morning.

there is also the royal hawaiian gun club, in waikiki, which caters to japanese tourist. I wouldn't want to exaurate, but you'd be amazed what they charge for a box of 22 ammo. also the last I heard, the muzzles are chained to the table to prevent suicides.

Sounds good. I am staying on Waikiki Beach. I will find something. Thanks for the help.

You might want to try this place. It's just a few minutes from Waikiki.

There is a range near the "blow hole" an Hanauma Bay that shoots IPSC. I just spoke with a Marine who was stationed at the K-Bay air station who said that is about the only real place to shoot on the whole island.

rishii is just being modest... and I want to be like him when I grow up.

Glock17L is taken care of...he is all set for some trigger time in a nice cozy range built in the crater of an extinct volcano.

Big Dave is correct there is a range within hearing range of Hanauma Bay and MPPL has been shooting there since 1982.

I just returned to Korea back from a nice relaxing vacation in Honolul, HI. I want to thank BadKarma for loaning me his Glock 34 to shoot the nightmatch. I appreciate the hospitality and good sportsmanship you offered to me. It felt good to shoot again. I can see how my shooting has suffered since shooting my last match 8 months ago. I had fun though and it was very relaxing. I can't wait to go back to Hawaii again to relax on the beach and shoot anoher match with you.

Aloha!!

Mahalo!!!

BadKarma,

Could you send me an email of the results from the match? Thanks.

Badkarma?????

I thought your nickname was Mickey?

Why aren't you using that nickname anymore? :-)

Do you even remember me?

[Badkarma]

Moverfive,

Yup, know who you are...nice to see that you're still up and running. We still talk about you at the range (just not in mixed company). You should stop by sometime and visit us. We may shoot only 10 rounds at a time... but you taught us how to do it real fast.

Glock17W... Moverfive made me forget why I was replying... no problem will send results via e-mail. Hope you had a good time... we did go a little overtime. Guess we'll see you again in January.

I wish I could get back that way sometime soon......especially since I have gotten heavily into diving since I left there - part of the reason I quit shooting for some time.

Good hearing from you. I have definitely missed you guys!!!!
