The city confirms nine of the 10 staff members at the shooting complex have lead levels above the normal range.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -- The city has no timeline for when Oahu’s only public shooting range will reopen as an investigation into elevated lead levels in the majority of workers at the facility begins.

The city confirmed nine of 10 staff members at the shooting complex who were tested have lead levels above the normal range. Two additional staff members declined to get tested.

A timeline of exactly when the city first became aware current employees had been exposed to lead remains unclear. Officials would only tell Hawaii News Now it was brought to their attention this year.

Funny. Some people write scenarios and some write torture devices.

Never go to the annual multi day matches like those held at founder’s ranch. A Saturday or Sunday afternoon is enough for me.

Keep your powder dry

Moosejaw of the Shadow Riders.

Ps. The Shadow Riders are basically defunct. A core group of us shoots the other 2 local clubs matches.
