Al, Who closed up , Midland and F&S ? Yup. Gates are turned off. I can understand closing the club houses and stopping organized classes and competitions but locking us out of the ranges is a little extreme. Cr@p when I go to Midland I'm the only one there and if not I'll slide over to the 600 yard and do my thing. Exactly. My club closed up too (WWCCA).

That's the nice thing about smaller clubs. At one time when I was running benchrest matches at Harrison I had both the gate key and key to the range house. I let that membership lapse eight years ago. I had hoped to take the granddaughters out shooting during their vacation.

Me at 8 years old discover the joy of no hearing protection under that corrugated tin roof.

I was a member and rifle chairman back in the late 90's. Then I got out of it and just rejoined last year.

Just got notice that the Fruitport Club has shut down the clubhouse and all activities.
But the Outdoor Range is still open and members are to follow CDC guidelines.

Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

We had our lowyers (actually, only one attorney who's on my trap team) read the bleeder governor's EO pretty carefully. It pertains to clubhouse activities, not outside events where people are not in close proximity to each other; like golf courses. Her spokesman concurred. So, like golf courses, our ranges are open, the club is closed.
I spent Monday, dressed up like 3 Mile Island wannabe, cleaning out the lead in the indoor range. Pulling out 100# chunks. Got enough lead dust in/on me to ward off Chernobyl radiation.

Pretty much what I said on Midland's FB page. I was told that the virus can live up to 72 hours on a hard surface, shooting benches are suspect. Didn't help when MIDNR shut down all state run ranges. Fookin liberals have taken over reigns of our gun clubs.

So we will shoot at the JD338 Range then?????
This issue is getting ugly with a geometric growth curve. Not sure that golf courses, etc won't get
zapped too shortly.
