Are they referring to anti-virus PPE or normal shooting PPE or both?
So, ear defenders, eye protection, head covering or hat, surgical mask, latex gloves ...

So first day back releasing freedom seeds!
Well laid out at the club and a no nonsense word doc containing modus operandi sent out to club members.
Inside the club house looked liked a crime scene having been taped off to prevent socialising.
A nice sunny day so everyone on the two outdoor ranges.
Both ranges pegged and taped to denote 2 metre spacing.
Backers already in place so only needed targets stapling.
Turning targets in use for GR practice.
Finally managed to try out bullets from 2 new 38 bullet moulds.
The used Ruger 77/357 that was seriously inaccurate now shoots better than I could have imagined due mainly to relieving the fore end as the barrel was touching.
This moved the group 2inches left and low. Nice offhand 2 inch group at 25yds.
And even have an hour at 900 booked at Bisley next Sunday.

Hello
News just in report on the Daily Mail web site
Six people from different households will be allowed to exercise together outdoors in England from MONDAY but they must still remain two metres apart.
Surely this must include shooting venues

Re: Timeframe release of the lockdown for open air ranges ?
Our outdoor range has been 'officially' open for two weeks now.Surely this must include shooting venues
We contacted our local constabulary to tell them the club is opening again assuring compliance with guidelines and the response was 'Thank you for letting us know.'
