Shooting Range Closed Covid-19

Post by Stepnoutnb »

Department Of Public Safety has closed the shooting range I belong to. Makes sense under the Covid-19 conditions.

Looks Like I'll have to head for the woods to test my new Turkey loads and Choke.

Be safe everyone.

Both of my ranges are closed. No playing with the range toys until the all clear is given.
Meanwhile, I think I've reloaded just about every piece of brass I own.

Spring Fishing, check before you go, I'm reading some municipalities have closed their boat launch ramps.

I just got notice that the club I belong to is closed as well. Not a bad idea either. Lucky for me, I still have my backyard :D

The nearest place for me to shoot is a hill outside of town.

Locals refer to it as "SUICIDE HILL"

NO RULES. Lots of idiots. Need I say it --- I'll pass

Gun range all closed but the silhouette archery range is open.

Really shouldn't get in too much trouble.
But exceptions.

Lots of critters running around. Bunnies, jackrabbits,ground squirrels, quail roadrunners etc. on most of the courses.

Guy in front of us decided to shoot the bunnies next to the target.
Big mistake , arrow just stuck him to the ground.we hear screaming calls, see bunny tryn to get loose. I mean crazy loud.
Guy just stood there in disbelief.

After about 30 seconds it hopped off the arrow , looked to be unharmed.

Guy was like " I'll never do that agsin" told him dumbasses are always dumbasses.

Find idiots everywhere.

That wouldn't be legally in season would it? That kind of action right there is what give the anti Hunters/shooters traction.

Yep bunnies in season year round but not on the archery range.
Its owned by the gun range and you pay a fee
So it's not really a public range

Great thanks for the clarification. The less bad press we hunters/shooters/trappers/fishers get the better.
Cheers
