Tell me about it. I dropped a lot of money on new show materials for the upcoming year. New table covers, monogrammed shirts, gun display racks.

And no shows to take them to...

Yup, my contract with Boss and Purdey are belly up, and the bill for the table covers and free hand outs must be paid.

America is strong and we Americans are pretty resilient. We'll get through this and recover well. That's just what we Americans do.

Brian this will pass and hopefully small businesses have enough resources and or cash flow to survive during difficult times. I will do my best to support businesses that have taken care of me. If any of the craftsmen that support our hobby need work I am sure many of us would step up with billable projects.

Well my thoughts of gloom have cleared a good bit . I spent the entire night last night waiting for and talking to ticket agents . Got Delta first and changed my tickets to the South Pacific for September into October and it only took three hours . Then I FINALLY got Orbitz/Expedia on the line and took care of all the hotel reservations in the Philippines as well as the domestic flights . Then I figured why not and got after the Sanford NC reservations . Low and behold it all seems taken care of and only took about seven hours total . This afternoon I was able to get a refund from the parking garage close to Dulles I was going to use as well as a refund for the golf cart in NC . My opinion of humanity has gotten slightly better after all this

Here is the new protocol for one of my two clubs, Minuteman Sportsmens Club in Burlington, Massachusetts. It may be useful as a template in crafting adaptive rules for your own clubs:

Member Guidelines

If you have ANY symptoms that could be related to the Coronavirus or if you think you have been exposed to someone who has the virus; DO NOT come to the club!

While you are at the cub, please do the following:
• Follow social distancing guidelines, keep at least six feet away from others.

• Minimize use of the clubhouse to the greatest degree possible and do not gather in groups of more than 10. To reinforce this concept the number of tables in the clubhouse has been reduced and only 3 chairs will be at each table.

• Please use credit/debit cards for payment at the Cage. Cash should be the payment of last resort.

• While at the club, frequently wash/disinfect your hands according to CDC guidelines.

• Members will not be allowed in the cage to shop for ammo. Club staff will retrieve desired loads for you.

We will not be ordering any food until further notice.

Candy and coffee will not be available.

Employee Guidelines

If you have ANY symptoms that could be related to the Coronavirus or if you believe that you were exposed to anyone who has the virus; DO NOT come to work.

• Follow social distancing guidelines to the greatest degree possible.

• Wash/disinfect your hands often.

--Disinfection Procedures--
• Prior to opening, wipe down all tables, counters, door handles, railings, touch points in rest rooms, vending machine buttons, etc. Wipe down tables immediately following use. Wipe down other touch points as activity warrants.

• The cage area, credit card terminal and related computer equipment needs to be wiped down with disinfectant at frequent intervals.

• Prior to opening, wipe down portable equipment utilized by members. That includes 5-Stand controllers, skeet solo controllers, Sporting Clays cart handles, golf cart touch points, etc. Immediately upon return, the aforementioned items are to be wiped down. Club guns loaned to members need to wiped down prior to issuance and wiped again upon return.

• Prior to opening, wipe down all Long Range control units and release cord buttons. On Trap fields, wipe down microphone touch points. Additional wipe downs will be done periodically as activity warrants.

Craig, not to pry, but are you sure you can return to the states from the Phillipines within the next couple of years or at least a reasonable time?

The protocols I list on post #17 permitting shooting are moot.

The Massachusetts Governor has shut down the Club, along with all businesses in the State not deemed essential, at least until April 8th.

The Georgia governor is having a press conference at 5. I bet many governors will follow suit shortly.

People keep saying "it is going to get worse before it gets better." Well, bring on the worse, I am ready for it to get better
