I hope everyone is well and untouched by the COVID-19 virus that is disrupting so many of our lives.
Is anybody doing any shooting with all the extra time many now have? In PA, all state run ranges are closed and many private ranges are closed, including mine. Even our annual spring PA DW get together shoot and show has been put on hold due to the virus outbreak. Just wondering if anyone is fortunate enough to have their own range or access to a shooting location.
I'd love to shoot on my farm but my daughter's dogs will go crazy from the noise and destroy her house if I do, she warned me what that would mean.
Stay well my friends.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

The indoor ranges that are part of a gun store are open here in NC, and are considered "essential" businesses according to Homeland Security. I went last Tuesday (senior discount day), and while there were strict social distancing protocols in place they were open. This range has state of the art air handling equipment so no problem there. Every other shooting station was closed to achieve social distancing. There was only one other shooter there, and while we did chat a bit we kept our distance. Same at the checkout counter. Not sure if I'll go today as we're supposedly reaching that Peak of the pandemic.

My gun club is open with some updated protocols around social distancing. No sign-in required right now & they ask you to wipe down the skeet/trap controllers when you're finished. They have also canceled all group shoots/competitions until further notice.
I've mounted 4 new scopes on different rifles & gotten them all sighted in and ready to go. I also took my buddy but we went in different vehicles & maintained a good amount of space.
I got to shoot my new-to-me 1949 Marlin 336 in 32 Win Special for the first time as well. Wow, I love that rifle, it's a beaut.
