Sundays (when open) return to 1/2 hr sessions and as always .22LR Rimfire STD velocity or under
Club competitions are now running dependent on availability of volunteer Range Officers
The opening of the range is contingent upon having adequate range staff to operate safely and that we are able to operate within the NSW Government Health guidelines and with their approval.
There will be copies of our COVID 19 Safety Plan available for perusal at the range
Please note there will be a zero tolerance for any breaches of these rules.
