Does anybody know if Addieville is open for small groups of shooters?

How about Scarborough?




.

Looking at the Scarborough website it appears their Trap range is closed along with 5 stand and Sporting Clays until the 17th of May. Not sure if that aligns with their Stay at Home order or not for Maine.

Major Waldrons shotgun sports is closed with the exception that members with keys to the facility can use the range. Hoping we can open it up a little more soon since golf courses can open up in less than two weeks.

I finally had the opportunity to get out. Met my father at Owen Station Sporting Clays in Delaware. It’s a very nice facility. The only one open within a couple hours of DC. Thankfully, Bull Run in Manassas reopens this week. It felt great to break clays with my father under bright blue skies. Lots of guys out shooting. Ran into a couple groups of Vintagers and several other sxs shooters. Great day. Can’t wait to get together for the Northern.

Re: Scarborough:

State of Maine Governor Mills this week issued her program for restarting the Maine economy. It will be in monthly stages.

This is the link: https://www.maine.gov/covid19/restartingmaine

This does not preclude business interests from seeking a clarification, waiver, variance or other accommodation, and some are doing so.

Well that’s not good news for those of us who would cross state lines to individually shoot clay targets.

A week from this coming Saturday we will be shooting clays in Mesquite NV. (May 16)
Y'all are welcome, if you can make it.

Blue Ridge opened yesterday for the first time. Only 5 allowed in the club house at one time to sign up, then out the other door. Masks required to enter the club house. They only allowed 3 per squad on the course. The parking lot was pretty full but at no time was there a backup at any station. As we were getting our guns, the state police pulled up in front of the club house. I didn't hear what they were saying. They never got out of the car and about after 5 minutes, they left. I know some outdoor activities like golf courses, fishing, etc. were allowed to open yesterday but I'm not sure gun clubs were on that list. You just never know what will happen when the police are involved.

I can't imagine any logical reasoning that would allow golf clubs/courses to open up and not allow gun club/ranges to open.

Is the Guv a righty or lefty? May give you a clue

He claims to be one but is oft accused of being the other.
