Default Gun Ranges Open ?

Anybody know what is happening with the new Co Vid restrictions?

As far as I can tell they are still open, provided you don’t go with any buddies and social distance.

Gatherings are prohibited, so definitely no events or competitions.

Calgary Shooting Centre Range (indoor only) is closing down, so I'm assuming that all indoor ranges will be closed. Not sure about outdoor ranges, it doesn't make sense that they would need to be closed as long as precautions are taken.

For now SPFGA says they will remain open, but are going to be monitoring their video feeds on the ranges closely. If people don't abide by the restrictions (masking, social distancing etc) they will shut down if they feel it necessary.
So please...those of you who are members please follow the rules that they must enforce...I'd hate to lose my place to shoot because someone feels the restrictions are bogus.

If outdoor rinks, and ski hills remain open I’m confident(and hopeful) that outdoor ranges will remain open.

So far the two outdoor ranges I belong to haven’t said they are closed or closing.

Our indoor range and our 1,000 meter range ( enclosed firing line) are closed but our other ranges are open with max of 10 people on the line

If hundreds or thousands at a ski hill is acceptable , we should be allowed to operate, with the exception of our clubhouses.

CHAS @Genesee is open and will remain open. There are no gatherings (read: competitions or classes). Social distancing is mandatory and you must clean the area that you have used with disinfected wipes.

Otherwise....bang away!!

Bullets & Broadheads here in GP is open, I was there today, and they said they will be staying open. They have specific limit to # of people who can be in store/shooting. Good thing, that is where I go to clear my head.

Today was a good range day.
