Rio Salado open but......

There was long line but not that many cars in the parking lot. They have closed every other table on the public range. But it is still open.

Interesting, probably the best way to handle things without actually closing but it does make it tougher

I have HP power privileges so it was not a problem. Usually they have a match but not this Saturday. I got lucky.

It was open last Sunday and was far more empty than normal at opening.

Social distancing with every other table open isn't bad. If you don't want to wait just go to the desert

Just make sure you get the table furthest upwind from everyone else to avoid the sneeze/cough spray.

They said they may close every other table at Ben Avery but they just shut it down. I think the range masters didn't want to do it, as far as being there.

Got right on this morning at Rio. Looked like no waiting the entire time I was there.

Went at opening last week and it was totally dead, maybe like one or two other groups.

Anybody go this weekend? If so how was the crowd? Been wanting to shoot before it gets too warm and Rio is only 15 minutes from me.
