reggiegun Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Anyone attend any of the clay shoots in the Northwest since they have re-opened? How are they squadding it and any recommendations. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 I do not believe they are 'squadding' it. I have shot today at Ribble Bank and I know of people who have shot at Catton Hall, Frodsham and Worsley at Manchester. Again it is turn up, pay yer cash and shoot. I have heard people voicing concern regarding catching the virus from the buttons on the stands. I have tried desperately to avoid sucking my thumb until I have washed my hands and find it difficult to rub my eyes without scratching my shooting glasses. I just rely on using er....................common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage10FP Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Catton is as Westley says! It's a common sense approach. Stay clear or get them told if they get too close. Sanitizer everywhere 👍👍👍 Old Glossop is squadded Sportrap practise this Sunday with stringent measures in place and on 21st it will be there first squadded 100 bird event. I would imagine with the same stringent measures...............Stay in car until 5 minutes before your allotted shooting shooting time, head to waiting area and await member of staff! No hanging around, mingling or loitering. Get it shot and head home. Bearing in mind the public has a cracking view of Old Glossop shoot and I imagine wouldn't hesitate in reporting violations if seen. Measures in place to protect the shooters and more importantly......The club 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid .25 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Kelbrook reopened and has a stringent one way system in place, no going back to previous stands ect, I believe it works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the one way system is working well round here at the grounds we have been to. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting out again and even commented that going round at a nice slow pace was most enjoyable. Looking forward to getting back to shooting Registered Competitions.

Gordon R Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Rishton has squads of four, who start at 11.00am on a numbered stand. There is a one way system and sanitisers at every stand. Shooters were cleaning the button before shooting and when the squad finished. People on the four man squads kept well apart. It worked well.

WinchesterDave Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 I was going to start a post regarding this but since one has already been created I will dive in on this one... Planning a trip to Ribble Bank tomorrow. Just to confirm, are they definitely now open and shooting and it’s still handing over cash? Many thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Rixton & Astley Shooting Club. When we opened after Lock down #1 we introduced a pre book, pre pay and one way system Hand sanitizer on every stand and other locations. The system has worked very well without modifications. Many members have commented that they prefer the "covid System" As we've moved from lock down to lock down we've adjusted group sizes in accordance with guidelines relevant at the time, the latest being 2 people from the same household, or 1 +1. We run 2 sessions, one starting at 10:30, the other commencing at 12 Noon. If or when normality returns, we may well stick with system that we've developed. Sadly the onset of Covid saw many of our regulars avoiding shooting for a host of good reasons. The flip side to that was that we have attracted a host of new visitors, many of whom have taken out memberships. Everyone has acted responsibly and sensibly. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 John - Rishton used a very similar set-up, which works very well. I think many people there prefer the revised routine, which cuts queueing to a minimum. Glad you are back on here and wish your club well when shooting resumes. I must make the effort to get down to Rixton - some years since I attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do attend, you're in for a big shock. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
