Renovations to the “backstop berm for the metallic silhouette range” at the Koko Head Shooting Complex will close the facility Monday through Friday from Dec. 9 to Dec. 20, according to the city’s Department of Parks and Recreation.

During this time, the archery range will remain open. The entire complex will also be open for public use on Dec. 14 and 15 since no work will be conducted on the weekend.

Ranges on the Hanauma Bay side will remain open Dec. 9 to 20 for law enforcement use.

While DPR staff renovate the backstop, which includes installing new soil to the existing berm, lead monitoring will be done on-site.

According to DPR, backstop work is expected to be completed before Dec. 21 but will reopen earlier if work is completed ahead of time.

The metallic silhouette range is expected to reopen in January 2025 after additional maintenance by DPR staff and the Hawaii Metallic Silhouette Shooters Association, which operates this specific range.

Initially closed in Sept. 2022, KHSC began reopening to the public in March and April 2024 with weekday shooting hours for the pistol and rifle ranges restored in July 2024.

Additional information and updates are available on the KHSC website.
