Hi-Power Jack Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I am going to be busy all weekend dusting the cobwebs off my shooting gear. Can't believe it - get to try out my new Ruger .22 pistol for the first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5-O Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 What conditions have been imposed in order to open the range? We tried but were told “Not yet” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Face masks if you get close to other people Distancing - more than 6 feet apart Opened only from 9:00 - 5:00, IFF we had enough RO's. No RO, not open. And the code to the lock was changed - only very few RO's had the new code. Before the Virus, all members had code to get in the gate, and they checked themselves in - sign in sheet in a trailer. At check in, the shooter now shows his badge and the RO (one of at least two RO's on duty) records the shooter's name, number, bay, time in and time out - no one touches anything that was just touched by another person. And, the checkin table is outside - RO's were wearing N95 masks. After two months closed, I would have bet the Farm that Monday would be overwhelmed with cars parked out the driveway. Neither Monday nor Tuesday were very busy. Had about two dozen shooters on Tuesday (my day to be one of the RO's). Mostly in the a.m. as it got up to 90 F in the p.m. We had a list of all the ranges, and kept track if someone was on a range - tried, successfully, to keep track of which ranges were filled and empty. If ranges got crowded, the plan was to keep additional shooters in their cars until a range opened up - so far, no need . Maybe the weekend. Had only one shooter "lost his cool" with the new procedure - he didn't want to comply so he said he was going home. Everyone else was thoroughly happy with the new regs, and quite a few "thank you's" for us being out there checking them in. The first two days worked very well - of course, all competitions were cancelled months ago. See what happens, might have to make modifications with more experience. One concern is having one of those very windy days we get down here on occasion - this outdoor arrangement may not be satisfactory for heavy winds.

Steve RA Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hi Jack, Everything going pretty well here, no one in my apartment complex has come down with the virus. Just hope it ends sooner rather than later. Just amusing myself playing with Wolfie (my German Shepherd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Glad everything is okay. Strange way to end our lives, isn't it ? Never thought the 20's would end with a whimper. I also hope this is all over soon, but I doubt it - have a feeling this is going to last another year or two - by which time I'll be old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
