The Orillia Gun Club is closed because of the beer virus. How about yours?

I thought this would be a great time to test some loads and scare my chronograph, but that ain't happening for a couple of weeks I guess.

Yes the Oshawa Gun Club is completely shut down, even the rifle range. Why it was necessary to close the rifle range I don't know.

Yup. Current lie is reopening April 1st. Far better lie would be May 1st.


Sucks when I'm normally out there once a week ... guess I'll go load some more ammo...

All club activities and organized events shut down, but outdoor range still open for personal usage if there's no group gatherings!

Evnin guys, gals, Steve if ya just "have to" shoot I can shoot at home here out to 98, 99 yds more after spring. Let me know!!! I think I have an in down the road to shoot 500 maybe 600!!! Buddy of mine just bought a long range 416 barret, & a 6.5 xyz.sumpthin. We only have a movable bench & make shift target backer now but shortly we're building a large steel steady bench. I think that we're going to make a movable target board, (heavy) all steel including the wheels so we can change the yardage easy. We're going to get some proper gongs shortly to, none of us are rich?!! Just a thought, I know if I got a new gun I'd have to shoot it soon or go into shock, seizure, so if ya (need) to give me a call. Bill out. 🐾👣🇨🇦

Steve;
Good evening to you sir, I hope that you and yours are keeping as well as possible in this interesting time we're going through.

Thus far the local club still has the range open, but that could change anytime I'm sure.

We had to suspend the Hunter Safety Course part way through - I coordinate that and have done for 31 years now. Felt very surreal to call everyone to tell them we had to do that.

Anyway, we'll get through this one way or the other Steve, it's what we do. Stay well.

Dwayne

Here in Southeastern Pa my club, Falls Township Rifle & Pistol Association has been closed since 3/20/20. Governor issued the "order" and we closed all competitions, public shoots like sporting clays, five stand, and open trap night etc. until the close order for non life suporting bussnesses is lifted. We are non-profit, but closed anyway to help stop the spread of COVID19.

By the look of things, many clubs have been temporarily shut down. Like 1OntarioJim points out, I am at a loss to understand why the outside range is shut down. I am not sure about the US, but up here, they are asking people to stay at least 6 ft away from others. That is easily done at any outdoor rifle range that I have ever attended.

We live in interesting times!

We had a phone/e-mail board meeting yesterday. We decided to cancel all organized events, including Wednesday evening and Sunday Trap and Skeet shooting. We decided to leave our 9 rifle ranges open.

Then this afternoon, Montana Governor Bullock announced that starting at 12:01 Saturday morning, that "prohibits all public and private gatherings of any number of people occurring outside a household or place of residence."

Exceptions include allowing us "To engage in outdoor activity, provided the individuals comply with social distancing...",so I would interpret that to mean that we can still shoot at the ranges as long as we stay 6' away from other shooters.
