The Hawaii Precision Airgun Club (HIPAC) is proud to be affiliated with USA Shooting
and The National Rifle Association.


HIPAC was formed in 1988 by local shooter's who wanted a little more challenge and shooting action than what was currently available in Hawaii at that time. Today, HIPAC remains a small club dedicated to the promotion of International shooting disipline in our state. We Conduct USA Shooting Preliminary Trials in 10 Meter Air Pistol and 50 Meter Free Pistol on almost a bi-monthly basis. We also have some Air Rifle and Air Rifle sporter activities as well. Some of our shooters regularly compete in National Level Competitions such as the USA Shooting Team trials and National Championships.

HIPAC meets at minimum, on every the second and fourth Sunday of every month from 8 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. at the McKinley High School Rifle Range in Honolulu. On the first and third Sunday's, we can be found at the Kokohead Shooting Complex on the East side of Oahu. As with any shooting sport, safety and good sportsmanship is the number one priority in our club.

If you are interested in Precision Airguns, whether it be competition, field target or just plinking, Please contact us using the exploding mailbox button below. You can also call us at 808-626-7933 (Before 9 P.M. HST). Our club dues are very low and we are always looking to expand our membership.
