Hawaii Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – January 17, 2017 <br /> <br />JO: A 22 caliber round fired out of a rifle... <br /> <br />WC: Right... <br /> <br />JO: A 22 caliber can travel over a mile and maybe as much as two from a 30 <br />odd six that’s three miles... <br /> <br />WC: Right... <br /> <br />JO: And if it’s launched at the wrong angle and shooters have, especially new <br />shooters have been known to have issues with the mussel pointed in the <br />correct – the proper direction and the finger on the trigger when it goes <br />bang, you need to make sure that none of that leaves the range. <br /> <br />WC: We have to go to the county council and then eventually to the mayor and <br />plead our case... <br /> <br />JO: Right... <br /> <br />WC: I’m just thinking being that the shotgun range is already there, I’m sure <br />there’s different requirements...for the hand gun or pistol range compared <br />with a shotgun range. <br /> <br />Two hundred yard range had overhead cover I’ve seen another out there <br />well I haven’t been back in there recently, but they took 40 foot containers <br />and they cut – roll up doors for ‘em and they put dirt and stuff in there and <br />they used that as a pistol range – just a simple thing and you can get a – <br />pick up a container for $1,000 bucks. It’s real, real cheap – real easy – 25 <br />yards – no problem. <br /> <br />JO: There are strategies you can use but the risk becomes a little greater and <br />the expense of the baffles – the overhead baffles – they’re 4 x 8 plywood <br />panels suspended on supports. They’re three or four inches thick and <br />they’re filled with aggregate that are designed to slow a bullet that is <br />launched upwards – doesn’t stop it but it keeps it from travelling great <br />distances so you have to look at your down range fan to make sure that <br />that’s still a safe enough to stop that before it impacts somebody at the <br />race track or the shopping center. <br /> <br /> <br />WC: My question would be on the east side, where might there be a property? <br /> <br />JO: That’s been the biggest challenge for us to find it – I won’t say that there <br />isn’t one – but we haven’t found the ideal one. We are looking to <br />accommodate all the shooting sports at once. <br /> 27 <br /> <br />
