brochures in Hawaii

garydude · 04-08-2010, 02:55 PM

Just returned from Hawaii, and while in Honolulu street people were handing out these brochures for indoor gun ranges. I thought it strange at first, then realized that most of the world cannot own or even shoot firearms. God bless America! Prices seem somewhat reasonable, albeit with very limited ammo. Check second and third scans for prices/packages.

If I am reading the price list correctly, that is some high priced shooting. I got back from there about 4 weeks ago. I would have gone and found the place just to see those gold bullets they are charging for!!

Gdmoody,
I thought it was crazy expensive at first, then I figured in the cost of ammo and range fees, targets, etc. that our local indoor shooting club charges, and the time it would take to clean all those different guns, and decided that if I didn't already own most of that stuff then why not spend an hour shooting. But man, they did limit the number of shots per weapon! I met an Englishman that had done this, and he said the weapons would go full auto. He was pretty pumped up at the experience. But to be sure, when your ten rounds of full auto are done, I'd want about 500 more, just to fully enjoy the experience.

Makes one really appreciate the great outdoors.

50 trips to that range (sniper) would have paid for ALL my stuff.

Yeah, the prices are crazy high.

On another forum, there is a member from Hawii. He says ammo and stuff is really expensive all the time.

Plus, there are TONS of Japapese, Chinese and other nationalities that go there, and don't have an opportunity to shoot guns.

I guess it's what the market will bear.

when i lived out there on maui a couple of years ago, i was told about honolulu's range...those guys are full of it-they even restrict the targets you shoot too...they cant be silhouettes, go anywhere else and it didnt matter...oh-and nothing was permitted that looked/resembled an uzi/mac 10

hawaii was weird too when it came to the mags: 10 rounds only for the handguns, but you can +30 with the rifle/assault mags
