Club Closures due to Covid-19

What is there to debate ?
We've only been told hundreds upon hundreds of times to stay home and not congregate.
This is for both our protection and the protection of others.
Are people taking double doses of stupid pills ?

If you are replying to me there is no debate implied. I asked a question to something I am unclear on.
As far as self isolating. I have been going on 3 weeks now. .
There are less people who frequent my club on any given day than I see walking my street. And there are only 1 or 2 walkers. Our club events have been postponed and most days my 50 acre club is empty.

If the range operates to make a profit for the owners, like the sporting clays ranges that I shoot at, then they definitely are a business. A non profit club, that may be a different story.

Thanks for the reply. The clubs I belong to do not have employees. 1 club is shut down and has been for a couple of weeks because it is an indoor shooting club. The other as described is outdoors only. It is member owned and operated. As of yet the BOD have not made a statement regarding our club.

and it's located in a gravel pit (200 mtrs ) on 280 acres.

I have an electric trap thrower and a 100 & 300 yard rifle range at home, so the kids and I will be shooting as well.
 
######x ###xx just announced that they have the go ahead from Alberta Health to re-open for members only, no guests. They're changing the way they do a few things and have increased spacing between groups going out... with social distancing of course.
If you didn't get the email then never mind!

I was hoping to avoid using club names. There are more than enough social justice warriors demanding the shut down of ranges. Better to leave the remaining targets darkened. Since the club is members only for now - no guests or guided - so we all got the message by email anyway.

Hey, slightly off topic, are you really a falconer?
 
Spoke with the guys who run ours and the feeling was it would open for the season once winter is finally over. The thought process is that since we are a club of very few shooters most times not even a full squad on either the skeet or trap fields it won't be an issue to maintain safe social distancing.
