Other than the Montreal Skeet Club, have any other clubs closed down over this yet? Our executive currently debating the issue, I'm wondering what everyone else is doing?
 
Our shooting is outdoor. Don't see any reason to shut down. Folks can decide if they want to go to the range.
 
Given the ventilation system in a good indoor range, risk there should be minimal.

I can understand why a club would close as a precautionary measure, though.
 
In Southern Ontario

BRRC is closed until April 6th.

I would think that would be the last place to go given the virus is air borne

Positive air movement away from the firing point, travelling downrange. Controlled airflow. Designed to keep lead particles away from the shooters, should keep everything else away as well.

Since my club is considering closing our Indoor Ranges , I have COUNTED 18 clubs that have done this already , on this Site.
Mar.-17 : The Province of Ont. went into a "State of Emergency" . Reading fine print ,,,,,,
"All facilities Providing Indoor Recreation Programs " are closed immediately .
I am now trying to get through to someone @ my CFO Office to confirm this applies to Indoor Shooting Ranges.
