The chance of catching Covid outside in a field is very slim. If they keep this BS up there won’t be any tournaments...ever
Yeah, I have no issues with day-to-day shooting at my target club (we finally got a field and moved targets today!!), my field club, and in a field event with people I know. My main point of wariness is shooting in close proximity to people I do not know and can't immediately trust.
Like everything with emerging from lockdown, once things are given the green light to start different people will have their own thresholds as to when they feel safe. I am treating everything on a case-by-case basis.
Field events with a designated start time for a group I know I see as barely more risky than walking around local woodland.
A target event sharing a single boss with unknown people I'm not quite so comfortable.
Add on to this bizarre requirements like one person being designated to disinfect every competitor's arrows between ends and being limited to 30 bodies on the field (including judges and field party) and it's looking like too much hassle to run outdoor target events anyway. WTF AGB?
It surprised me to learn from a local club that have relocated to a rugby ground that they regularly witness games of full contact rugby with more than 30 people on an adjacent pitch. How are rugby's NGB and AGB issuing such different guidelines!? (fwiw I think we should be somewhere between the two).
