Not a lot of fun in that really!
Not a lot of fun for the RO either.

You'll probably find timings and rules may be modified after a session of two.

One of my clubs initially had one 1 hour bookable slot a month per member. However it quickly became apparent that numbers weren't as keen as expected and it's now gone to one booking a week per member. Likewise, if you are up shooting and there are free slots in the following sessions, you can stay and fill those slots too if you want. It's ever evolving to suit everyone and I'm thankful to the committee and volunteers for putting the effort in.

I went to my first indoor session with the club this morning - Just 6 of us and all worked pretty well as far as the shooting went but the social side is going to suffer I think.

Went to my club for the first session on Saturday.

Was good to get behind the rifle but the social side of things definitely suffered.

Msot nights the club is 80% social and 20% shooting, so I think it's going to be a bit of a slog for a while.
