Re: Timeframe release of the lockdown for open air ranges ?
Just seen a message from one of our club members.
The CPSA has said clay club and grounds can start up.
Not sure if we can follow their guidelines to get back to PSG though.

We've taken the decision that we can't under the current guidelines as the RO needs to be close to the shooter at all times.38Super wrote:Not sure if we can follow their guidelines to get back to PSG though.
In theory you could do it with either one household or one household and one other person but setting up and resetting would take an age. Waiting for 1st June announcement and will be shooting 6th or 13th June

Hello
These are the conditions being placed on our club range.
At this time the NRA have confirmed today they are only opening non covered firing points with no hard surfaces. There will be only one shooter allowed on the firing point accompanied by a RCO socially distanced at any one time. When that persons shooting period has been completed, the firing point with be vacated before the next shooter is allowed on. The only time more than one shooter will be allowed is if they are from the same household. Shooters waiting to shoot must remain socially distanced. Finally local police force is to ensure that there is no breech in any of the Covid19 regulation

We have both. Indoor range will remain closed for now.nigelc wrote:Excellent news - is your range "covered" or totally open?mag41uk wrote:Yes - mine is end of next week.

Both outdoor ranges open subject to social distancing blah blah.
Pre printed form and exact money to be handed over to RO and no chatting in club room.
There is always a nominated RO per range in radio contact back to duty RO.
CCTV on all ranges.
Re: Timeframe release of the lockdown for open air ranges ?
We were at one of clubs today (It opens next week) Outdoor only, booking is by 'phone day before and only two firing points separated by a 3m air gap. It opens 0900 to 1200 then 1300 to 1700. Anything not needed has been put away, target frames are out ready to be used and a dedicated washing area is in place along with wipes, gel and sprays. Hopefully I will get over in the week to start shooting my 50m LSR cards :)

Hello
Is it just me or is it everywhere I look things are opening, that is apart from shooting venues.

Minsterley Ranges is aiming, no pun intended, to open the beginning of June.
