Have not seen anything on closed indoor/outdoor gun ranges? Might be the only place open soon.

Make it food, instead of TP! If nothing's going in the top end, nothing’s gonna come out the bottom end. And like I keep saying....I’m a civilized man. I own soap and a shower wand in case I run out of TP.

Just Got this in from the Owner of Mission 160 Range



n Response To The COVID-19 Outbreak


The range is open matches will continue as scheduled.
The below policy updates serve as notification to our existing members, guests, match directors, and match participants.
Effective immediately, we are revising our general attendance rules for members and operation of matches. As an outdoor range, we feel we can easily accommodate the CDC/WHO recommendations to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus with your cooperation and adherence to these policies.
General Range Usage Guidelines:
Please reserve your bay as usual on Doodle.
Please do not congregate in groups larger than 10.
Please refer to CDC or WHO guidelines prior visiting the range. If there is anything that would preclude you from attending a public venue, please do not put your fellow members at risk.
We ask that members and visitors limit physical contact and maintain a safe distance from one another.
Match Participation Guidelines:
Registration will be held outdoors.
Please do not congregate in groups larger than 10 prior to the match.
Please refer to CDC or WHO guidelines prior to attending a match. If there is anything that would preclude you from attending a public venue, please do not attend a match.
Squads will be limited to a maximum of 10 people.
Once you register and know your assigned starting bay, please go to your bay and do not congregate in groups outside of your assigned bay.
There will be no group shooter’s meeting. Instead, the match director/organizer will be required to have 1 representative from each squad meet for a general safety discussion and match specific information that can be shared with each squad at their starting bays.
We ask that match participants limit physical contact and maintain a safe distance from one another.
Each squad must have no fewer than 2 safety officers/range officers to ensure rotation of SO’s to limit their exposure.
Best Regards,
Kevin Harding, Mission 160 Range

North Texas in Sanger closed all matches today. We are considering the same at DPC.

Although all matches are cancelled at NTSA until the board meets again on the 8th ( when they will decide again) it is my understanding the range is still open for members and member’s guests.

Just received an email from the Range at Austin.
. Dear Members of The Range,

We are still OPEN and ready to assist you
with any of your shooting needs.

In order to be compliant with the new Austin/Travis County order, we are temporarily extending hours to help provide more time to utilize the lanes while still limiting the total amount of people in the facility at any given time. Please be patient with us, as we navigate through this uncertain time and know, that we are doing everything we can to limit the impact it has on you, our members.

Temporary Range hours:
6:00 am – 10:00 am

We are still OPEN and ready to assist with
firearm purchases, ammunition
sales and parts.

Our retail space will be open

from 10:00 am – 9:00 pm daily

As always, we are maintaining a safe
and clean environment but, have
revamped the way we operate in order
to be compliant with the recent
Austin/Travis County order.

We look forward to seeing you
here, at The Range!

Please continue to follow the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC)
guidelines regarding venturing out.

If you are feeling ill, please stay home!
Let's go Brandon! "rlol"

Denton County Sports Assn. private indoor range operating as normal: no walk-ins, but 24/7 access for members. For the foreseeable future (even after County lock down is lifted), small, private classes only.
