Went out today for a few rounds of trap, nothing new other than a plexiglass shield at the desk and some extra hand sanitizer placed around
My club hasn't announced anything other than "we're coming up with a plan to reopen". Like they couldn't have done that while sitting on their asses these past two months? All they need to say is "stick to your lane, wipe the table down after/before shooting". SMH.

I'm sorry. That's truly sad. Somebody is playing politics at your expense.
I know.... Its ridiculous. Any other clubs say no removeable chokes?
Which club?
My club has basic restrictions. No more than 5 in the clubhouse, no guests, membership card visible at all times, every second shooting position closed for social distance and while not requiring them a recommendation to wear gloves and a mask and to bring and use hand sanitizer.

One I find scratching my head is.. They only opened up 3 bays to maintain the 6ft distance, but allows 5 people. You need to book a 1.5 hr time slot. If there is only 3 spots to shoot, what's the point of the 2 others being there? And no guests.

My clubs reopening measures are focused on health and transmission prevention. Has not said one word about whether or not they will be self policing the ban.
I full expect to see AR15s at the range every time I go.

Distancing rules, and cleaning rules, and a rule about not leaving garbage take it home. But other then that the rules are the same. I'm impressed with my range, these guys don't screw around with odd rules and regulations.

Ever since the Ed Burlew opinion that upper limit shotgun bore diameter is determined by the counterbored portion where choke tubes are installed, there has been great indignation on CGN about how all these conventional sporting shotguns are now prohibited.
A club accepts this interpretation, as do many members here, and blocks the use of these apparently prohibited firearms.
The government denies that this bore interpretation is correct, that there is no problem with shotguns with removable choke tubes.
Either the guns are banned or not. Can't have it both ways. Burlew says banned, government says not.
If the club allows these guns, it is accepting the government's interpretation, and that would suggest that the Burlew interpretation is just a red herring.
Is it?
Your club exec needs to be replaced.
