Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – January 17, 2017 haven’t done everything I needed to – I better get on it.” Um, so, yes, a very wise investment. I think it’s just under $600.00 to go to the conference plus whatever transportation per diem – that kind of thing. And I will mention also, that our group, On-Target, Inc. – the NRA is very supportive of our efforts here and we were able to attend this. With NRA grant money, so it absorbed most of the cost of us travelling to those various places and attending these conferences and those are the things that are available to us and to county personnel – there were some DLNR engineers that also went to that. TL: If the county moved towards a range like that would the NRA help us get them sent up there as another incentive. JO: Oh, I’m sure we could encourage them. They are very supportive of public shooting ranges. Private – you’ll pay your own way if you’re developing something – an indoor shooting range, you know, for a private owner, they’re very supportive but, you know, you’ll pay your own tickets and such, but, yeah, for public shooting range that’s a good use of their range grant funds. JB: We have a question in Kona. GG: Chairman Lodge, Glennon Gingo again from On-Target, Inc. Thank you Jim. I sounded earlier that I like challenges – competitive nature shooting is really what I enjoy – but what I’d like to say in line with what Jim has said about the kinds of programs that we offer in education with the bottom line safety and design is that as the On-Target president what I’d like to do is pledge along with the commitment that Colonel Campbell has that if Colonel Campbell is successful in setting up this rifle-pistol along with training according to federal standards for RSO, I pledge here for the record that we will fund thirty spots for NRA-RSO training on full scholarships, thank you. TL: Ah, excellent, I appreciate that. TL: Ah, you know, you’re talking about a footprint and like DLNR said we got this hunting area. The length and breadth and the distance, but, a back- stop like in Hakalau – in your opinion, was Hakalau a good range? JO: It was well used and I spent many Saturday and Sunday up there competing...in a variety of shooting sports. It has challenges – it has running water nearby and if you have running water you’re challenges with lead management just go up 100 fold, so, we’ve got the Hakalau stream that’s nearby and there are a couple of little tributaries that feed into that... TL: I was wondering if I wanted to cross that bridge or not... 22
