Had to get out today. going stir crazy.

[Schreck5]

i been in the house since saturday before christmas. Recovering from surgeries, then this hits. I had only been out for doctor visits. For something to do i’m going to put a roll of toilet paper up by the road and sit with a rifle and see what i can bait in.

:-d:-d:-d

Even though we are under "STAY AT HOME" ORDERS, I snuck out to the range today......... BTW, I wasn't the only guy who was at the range.....

So, you may have potentially been exposed and could infect others. Why do you think the orders to stay at home are in place?

When the nearest person is 50+ feet away, risk of exposure is nil. Get a life. I get more exposure going to the pharmacy for my meds or the grocery store for food.

I live on a 100 acre hobby farm with no close neighbors. Spring is my busiest time and even though retired I have to go out and cut wood for next winter. I do go to the grocery store on and off but follow their guide lines and go early in the morning when there are fewer people. Used a wipe they provide to wipe down the handle of the cart and kept it to open doors to get milk and that sort of thing. Keep my distance. Snow is finally down to go shooting but we had a temp drop. Will need to fix up my range a bit. Got a couple of rifles to check out. One is a Marlin with a less than ideal bore that seems to shoot anyway. Need to convince myself that it actually works. At 100 yards I have not seen anything with it that would miss a deer. Bought it to avoid D&T an old waffle top. Need ot get that one out too.

In my state of Washington, the liquor stores and Pot shops are open, as they are deemed "essential", but the gun shops and ranges are closed.

Interesting.

Our "gun store" which is really a lumber yard that keeps a few guns, ammo and supplies is open 7:30am to 12:30pm. I am not sure what their inventory looks like. I didn't stop.

I did go to the range on Friday. Wore my mask and sprayed my station down with disinfectant. Had the place to myself.

I am guessing that you must be in King County?

BTW: If not already mentioned here, the Trump administration has added the firearms industry as an "essential" business.

It's easy to keep them 6 feet away when everybody has a gun! :^)

I belong to a private club and it is open. Went today with my son to test 20ga slug loads for a June hunt. Only one load is showing promise but needs to be proven at 100 yards.

We left the gate open on the 150 yard driveway. Two different folks pulled in but turned around and left. I think the buzzards circling me must have spooked them.

"I think the buzzards circling me must have spooked them."

Buzzards hunt by sense of smell, could that be why the folks left?

I have been doing some rangework at the house

The neighbors are 3-400 yards away which is nice

I have to do more of that type of setup. Shot too much paper through the years and its fun to blow things up or knock them over and that sort of thing.
