Rio Salado open but......

[Papago]

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.

What's a "long line"?

Anyone been to casa grande range or know if it's open?

 

[Papago]

I was there at 10:30 and 8 groups were in front of me.

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

 

[Papago]

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

 

[Doc Holliday]

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

Good, thanks!

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.

Pretty empty at Rio Salado this morning.

 

[Papago]

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

 

[RomeoWhiskey]

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.

Shooter's World is only allowing every other lane. Had to wait 20mins once, but not too bad.

Well Casa Grande is closed "indefinitely". I went down there this morning because I needed benches and the 300yd but they've got a sign up that it's closed indefinitely. Someone wrote "Libtards" on the sign; it wasn't me, but I support that message...

Jesus....ENOUGH. Someone needs to rip down the sign and shoot anyhow....public range, paid with taxpayer money....

I don't know about you, but I'm sick and damned tired of this 'poor mans virus'....driving in Scottsdale the other day, parks open, people walking, kids playing....in contrast to Mesa, where the parks are CLOSED, benches roped off, a few people hanging around their cars in the parking lot, that's it. Having more money makes you immune?

 

[Joelafives]

I'd like a status as well. What are the weekdays like ? anyone?

I was there on Sunday afternoon...full range, about 5 people waiting in line for the main range. I just had to check-in for the member's high-power range.

I also shot today, about 1pm. 6 people on the range. No wait, no lines.

I talked to a range officer; Ben Avery is closed because it is managed and operated by AZGFD. Rio is a technically a private range, open to the public, operated on land leased from AZGFD, so the decision to stay open is up to Rio Salado Sportsman's Club leadership.
