This includes but is not limited to all shooting events, work parties, training classes and NEW MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS including orientation classes. The ranges will remain OPEN for members only but, PLEASE observe the guidelines and distancing rules for safety due to the outbreak.
I encourage you to stay home, reload, catch up on your gun cleaning and yard work. The Copicut Rifle Association will not be liable for the spreading of the virus. We want all our members and their families to remain safe and healthy. Should any changes occur with the guidelines, I encourage you to follow them without notice from the Association. Hopefully this will all be over soon..Stay safe
Happy Trails to You....Until We Meet Again, George Tripp, President - Copicut Rifle Association
Until further notice all meetings and events scheduled for the Club are cancelled. No new members will be accepted for the foreseeable future. The ranges will be open for now, but remember to maintain a safe interval.
Yup. I've been going to my local outdoor range at least twice per week and lately I've had the whole range to myself. Based on previous conversations I had with other members, I think many aren't going because of their lack of ammo and the corona crap. Sucks many didn't buy the ammo cheap and stack it deep...
Gee, you got a private range for your visit. Who woulda thunk? (reference to post 165)Hopkinton outdoor range is definitely open as there were 3 or 4 other people there. With the exception of the 100/200 yd. range, people are separated in their respective bays so distancing is a non-issue. I certainly felt safer there than at the damn grocery store, that’s for sure.
Just got an email Hamilton rod and gun closed.
Folks, We hate to do this but because of Gov. Bakers order we have to close the ranges. This has been verified with local officials. Effective immediately. As of now we would say hiking and fishing is allowed.
It is bullshit. I can understand small indoor ranges but outdoor ranges should be easy to follow social distancing guidelines. I think my club is going to be one of the few staying open it seemsSpringfield Sportsman Club Closed effective today. This is bullshit. These clubs with large outdoor ranges need to start standing up to this. Don't really see how a sportsman's club qualifies as a business anyway.

Harvard is now closed.
I'm puzzled how an LEO can drive around a private club telling members to go home.Ugh, just saw that e-mail too. There are not enough expletives to express how mad I am at the "local authorities" who came in and shut it down.

I just got done reading a lengthy string on our local Next-door forum regarding just this issue. 10 minutes later, the e-mail from Dan was in my inbox.I am going to guess some of the busybody anti gun shitbags that live near these clubs are starting to armflap to the kopsch to close some of them..
Must have crashed the gateI'm puzzled how an LEO can drive around a private club telling members to go home.
If this gets worse, they'll be driving around your private property and tell you to "Stay in your homes."...I'm puzzled how an LEO can drive around a private club telling members to go home.
