trickyh Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 19 hours ago, Spoon said: AGL are open but have pushed back their member shoot which was scheduled for tomorrow. No food and the lodge is shut, don't congregate to close around the ground etc.. Seems they're doing a pre-pay phone in service where you can request a number of clays, and carts if needed, and show your license on arrival to receive the Promatic card to use without going in the shop. If I wasn't considered at risk I'd probably go for the fresh air. Barbury shooting ground has put exactly the same procedure into place. I hope to go next week.

Yes that was where we were heading, looks like we will go to Sporting Targets and ring them at the half-way point to see if they are going to stay open.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Had a great session at Sporting Targets this morning, shot a lot of the new stands, quite a few people and even some families going round. Good to be out in the fresh air doing something that we love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Interesting! I was aware that the Reg Comps that I was contemplating around Cambs, Beds and Northants were scrubbed, many grounds have closed totally and some are open for practice. We will see if we can find any woodpigeons to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nonsensical, you would be much safer out on the shoot than the confines of the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of interest, I drove out this morning the roads were busy and loads of people out and about. I drove past the local golf course and the car park was rammed. Looks like the golfers are continuing their sport as normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I think it is time now that all the grounds should be closed. I do get entirely that it is outdoors and not a big social gathering, but quite honestly these are not normal times and if we are doing things as normal then we are doing something wrong. Every commercial shooting ground will benefit from having to pay no business rates for the next year, the government will guarantee 80% of the salaries of any employees and there are also further grants available, along with deferred VAT payments and further loans should that be required.
