Tweeple just want to have fun at

Royal Hawaiian Shooting Club!

Tucked away on the fourth floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki is the gorgeous, high tech Royal Hawaiian Shooting Club. The Club was the place to be on a recent Wednesday lunch time Tweetup, as I held our first #ShootsHI firearms safety experience. I’m not Annie Oakley but I am an NRA Training Counselor for Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun. Lots of Tweeple in Twitterville kept asking me when we were going to do a Shooting Tweetup so I contacted my buddies @ RHshootingclub and they said “Let’s do it!”.

On Target!

Home, home on the range...

Starting out with a Brown Bag Lunch and Safety Briefing, we then  moved on into the indoor range area of the Club. We had a mix of experienced shooters as well as newbies attend, and a good time was had by all!

The Club had a drawing for T shirts and a Thank You gift for each of the folks attending the Tweetup. We’ll be doing more of these as the response from Twitterville was “Hey, how come we weren’t invited?” Well, you were… you just have to keep checking Twtvite for the notice and RSVP.

Good shooting...Good times!

Good shooting...Good times!

We had some great photo shooting as well as pistol shooting from the Tweetup! Check out Royal Hawaiian Shooting Club’s Facebook. I handed my camera over to Nicholas Haigler, who’s the Marketing Guru for the Club and he took some great shots at, er,  of us! :) @madmarv did his usual great job with a photo set here !

@RickNakama did a couple of Qik Vids here , here and here … and why you place your trigger finger on the frame where I tell you too!

@ShilohSwanson put up some nice photos here .

@hawaii does some amazing shots from his iPhone!

And many thanks to @NctrnlBst for a nice write up and vid on Nonstop!

Oh, not to forget Mix It Up Hawaii! @ParkRat Pimpin’ and Peevin’ - Episode XXVIII !

Well, that’s about it from the first ShootzHI Tweetup! Check out the Shooting Club when you’re at Royal Hawaiian Center, it’s a great place to go with the family and learn some new skills in a comfortable environment. Air Conditioning, nice lounge area and a Starbuck’s downstairs… that’s my kind of shooting! Eh, a girl’s gotta have hobbies…Beading & Firearms, Whiskers on Kittens. These are a few of my favorite things!

Safe gun handling skills are taught first in the classroom before we go to live fire.

And let’s hear a Cheer for the All Stars of the Kukui High School Shooting Team!

Tweet y’all later,
