Top picks in Hawaii

  1. No. 1

    Ukumehame Firing Range

    Lahaina, HI 4.4 out of 5 (16)

    Ukumehame Firing Range is Maui's only legal public shooting facility, offering four distinct ranges and club-led firearms education on 84.1 acres along the West Maui coast.

    The hits

    • Maui's only legal public shooting range, providing a unique county-operated venue for recreational use and firearms proficiency.
    • Four distinct ranges - pistol, rifle, clay target, and police - supporting diverse disciplines, hunters, and enforcement training.
    • Active partnerships with local clubs provide firearms safety education, youth shooting programs, hunter classes, and organized clay target events.
    • On-site infrastructure includes a classroom, covered shooter's patios with storage, 110-volt outlets, and ADA parking stalls at each range.

    The misses

    • Public access is inconsistent; visitors have reported arriving during posted hours to find the facility closed without explanation, and some describe it as rarely open to casual users.
    • Amenities are minimal, with no running water, permanent restrooms, picnic areas, or marked parking - only portable toilets and an unmarked gravel lot.
    • Operations depend heavily on club and law enforcement schedules, which can make it difficult for visitors to confirm availability without advance coordination.
  2. No. 2

    Koko Head Shooting Complex

    Honolulu, HI 3.9 out of 5 (102)

    Koko Head Shooting Complex is Oahu's only public outdoor shooting range, set inside an extinct volcanic crater in Honolulu and offering free city-operated rifle, pistol, and archery lanes alongside club-managed shotgun and specialty ranges that require visitors to supply all their own firearms, ammunition, and targets.

    The hits

    • Free public access to city-operated rifle, pistol, and archery ranges with provided bales and target frames.
    • Unique outdoor setting inside an extinct volcanic crater with natural backstops and scenic views.
    • On-site amenities include ample free parking, restrooms, and picnic areas.
    • Staff are frequently praised for practical assistance, such as offering shooting tips, helping with target setup, and lending small items like staple guns or replacement ear-protection batteries.
    • A free online reservation system allows visitors to book 1-hour-and-20-minute time slots, though walk-ins are accommodated when space permits.

    The misses

    • The facility does not rent or sell firearms, ammunition, bows, arrows, or targets; visitors must bring all their own equipment and ensure targets and stands meet posted dimension requirements.
    • Strict range restrictions reported by visitors include five-round magazine limits, bans on human-silhouette targets, and the removal of previously available long-distance features.
    • Recurring complaints cite inconsistent staff demeanor, with some reviewers describing interactions as confrontational or disrespectful; management has acknowledged recent serious conduct complaints and states that corrective action is underway.
  3. No. 3

    X-Ring Security & Firearms

    Waipahu, HI 3.9 out of 5 (118)

    X-Ring Security & Firearms is a family-owned, veteran-staffed indoor shooting complex in Waipahu featuring nine 25-meter Action Target lanes, HEPA ventilation, and integrated HPD-aligned firearms certification - including same-day handgun safety courses and on-site CCW notarization.

    The hits

    • Advanced facility specs: nine 83-foot lanes, Action Target retrieval systems, HEPA filtration, and removable benches enabling dynamic movement drills.
    • Exclusive training permissions: the only public O'ahu indoor range where members can qualify for rapid-fire and live-fire holster-draw practice.
    • Integrated certification pipeline: same-day Hawai'i Basic Handgun Safety certification and CCW affidavits notarized on-site within 72 hours, with curriculum reviewed against HPD requirements.
    • Staff depth: active-duty and veteran military personnel frequently receive praise for patient instruction, firearms knowledge, and honest guidance on equipment and ammunition.
    • Operational resilience: indoor climate control allows year-round shooting regardless of weather, and the facility accommodates tourists with passport verification and offers Wednesday free lane use for women.

    The misses

    • Premium pricing: firearms, accessories, and range fees routinely run higher than competing local or mainland retailers, with reviewers noting significant markups.
    • Front-desk inconsistency: newcomers report unwelcoming or aggressive reception, and range rules appear to shift depending on which staff member is on duty.
    • Damage-liability policy: shooters are billed for equipment struck by errant fire, a practice that several sources describe as stressful for beginners and a deterrent to return visits.
  4. No. 4

    Morita Camp Shooting Range 16 Mile Marker

    Hilo, HI 3.8 out of 5 (13)

    Morita Camp Shooting Range at the 16 Mile Marker is Hawaii Island's only legally sanctioned public shooting area, offering an unsupervised outdoor range with Mauna Kea views and space for multiple shooters, though visitors must supply their own targets, shade, and safety coordination.

    The hits

    • Only legally sanctioned public shooting range on Hawaii Island, providing a rare legal venue for residents and visitors to practice.
    • Spacious, open-air layout with panoramic views of Mauna Kea and room to accommodate multiple shooters at once.
    • Informal, friendly atmosphere repeatedly noted by regulars who describe the crowd as welcoming and relaxed.
    • Practical resource for hunters and precision shooters who need to zero firearms before heading into the field.
    • Minimal formal oversight allows visitors to manage their own pace and run sessions without waiting for rangemaster directives or complex check-in procedures beyond a sign-in station.

    The misses

    • Complete absence of rangemaster supervision, designated firing lines, and hot-and-safe zones, requiring shooters to self-coordinate in an environment that can become overcrowded.
    • Severe infrastructure gaps: no shade, benches, marked distances, target stands, or trash bins, forcing visitors to bring water, seating, canopy, toilet paper, and all shooting accessories.
    • Persistent litter and debris - including brass, broken glass, and discarded wood - coupled with weak cellphone service that complicates emergency communication in a remote area.
  5. No. 5

    Maui Ammo and Gun Supply

    Wailuku, HI 5 out of 5 (65)

    Maui Ammo and Gun Supply is a family-owned, Federal Firearms Licensed dealer in Wailuku that combines firearms and ammunition retail with gunsmithing, licensing classes, and the island's only indoor shooting range.

    The hits

    • Comprehensive retail selection: The store stocks rifles, shotguns, handguns, ammunition, reloading supplies, safes, locks, and apparel, functioning as a broad-spectrum supplier for the island.
    • Expert staff and training: Personnel combine military and law enforcement backgrounds with over 35 years of teaching experience, offering licensing courses and structured coaching for beginners.
    • On-site indoor range: The climate-controlled indoor facility with digital targets is regularly cited as the only indoor shooting range on Maui, providing a supervised, appointment-based environment.
    • Competitive island pricing: Visitor feedback frequently notes comparatively low transfer fees, favorable ammunition prices, and strong value relative to other local dealers.
    • In-house gunsmithing: Customers can access cleaning, disassembly, safety inspection, and reassembly services without sending equipment off-island.

    The misses

    • Parking constraints: The Wailuku Industrial Park location is described by visitors as having tight or difficult parking.
    • Mixed atmosphere signals: A recurring minority of feedback indicates that some shoppers have found the store environment unwelcoming on repeated visits.
    • Range logistics and size: The indoor range requires advance appointments, and some visitors have remarked that they wish the lanes were longer.
