Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Is your gun club shut down?

I’ll find out in the morning. No notice of a closure yet.

Yep ranges and events cancelled this month, probably a bit longer but we'll see.

Range is open but monthly meetings and any other gatherings are cancelled.

Closed.

They let us shoot last Sunday, but they didn't want anymore than 10 shooters on the range at once. Now it's closed until further notice.

Same here.

yep, shut down here too.

Did your club suggest a date that they will reopen? I'm a member of two clubs, and both said, "until further notice".

What is not shut down Steve? I'll be so glad when "this' is over.

In Ontario?

Tim Hortons
Grocery stores
liquor stores
drug stores
corner stores
gas stations
hardware stores
take out and delivery restaurants

Oh heck, here's the list - https://lfpress.com/news/local-news...-these-business-can-stay-open-in-ontario

I was hoping to enjoy the nice weather at the range, but instead, I'll go somewhere else. Once things open, I expect a few weeks of superior range time. With most people needing to work to earn a paycheque, the range will be quieter than normal. Don't be a negative Nellie. Smile!



Hail Caesar!

Medicine Hat Range closed the other day.
At least there is a family member that owns a chunk of land I can
shoot my rifles and shot guns on. Sucks for restricted though.

Same here.

Not actually shut down, but recommended to adhere to strict social distancing.

No.

Nope

Our local range just sent out email shutting it down today to all members. Couple days ago they closed it to non members.. might reopen 10th-11th of April. The big public range out here in the valley that DNR runs I imagine they locked the gate by now.

Yea Birchwood shut down Today was on it Friday.

MIssion, BC closed until further notice:

Steve;
Good morning to you sir, I hope you and yours are doing as well as can be, all things taken into consideration.

We got notice via email yesterday morning that our club has closed until further notice as well.

Seeing as how nobody really knows who was at the shooting bench before you, I get that it could represent a safety concern.

That doesn't mean I'm not a wee bit disappointed however, as I had a bunch of new loads I wanted to chronograph. While we are legal to shoot in the mountains, there's still 2-3' of snow where I'd shoot so that too shall either come in the fullness of time - or not.

As always sir, all the best to you folks and do stay well.
