Update to Shooting COVID Guidance

Update to Shooting COVID Guidance

As a result of the Scottish Government lifting all covid rules and restrictions, Scottish Target Shooting COVID-19 Guidance has been withdrawn. Despite restrictions being lifted, covid (and other viruses) remains present in our communities so clubs are still encouraged to consult with members on putting in place/maintaining appropriate and proportional hygiene arrangements to ensure all members can continue their involvement in the sport. STS would like to express its thanks to our individual members and member clubs for their patience, support, and efforts to uphold public safety and a return to safe shooting.
