About the Association
For more than a century and a half, the Hawaii Rifle Association has represented responsible firearm ownership in the Islands. What began as an organized marksmanship society in the Kingdom of Hawaii has grown into a statewide association supporting shooting clubs, safety instruction and informed civic participation.
The association does not operate as a retailer or a training business. Its work is educational and community-based: encouraging disciplined marksmanship, supporting affiliated clubs, and giving Hawaii's firearm community a clear, credible voice.
Rooted in 1857, honoring generations of Hawaiian marksmanship.
Every program begins with safe handling and clear instruction.
Clubs and families supporting one another across the islands.

Young people benefit from clear, age-appropriate instruction and supervised introduction to marksmanship.
Responsible ownership extends beyond the range — safe storage and thoughtful handling at home protect the people you care about.
