I spoke too soon. Indoor club is closed tonight due to lack of people on duty... I wonder if that will continue!

A shorter thread would be people whose clubs have stayed open.

Minsterley Ranges are still open, suppose it helps being in the great outdoors and the back of beyond......

Spring Action Weekend at Bisley has been cancelled but the ranges including the clays will remain open so long as there are staff and enough business to make it worthwhile. Cafes are closed till further notice. Hopefully there will be enough business for us to still shoot there albeit not at large events for a while - surely relatively easy to keep 2m separation between people in many cases.

That is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard over the last few days....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Which bit of it is ridiculous, is it that they are closing bits or that they are staying open?
