Where to Shoot
By the time this issue hits the newsstands, shooting grounds should be open for business once again, albeit with restrictions on squad sizes and social distancing. Travel and overnight stays remain restricted, so you’ll want to find grounds close to home. To help you, this list is sorted by region and county. As always, check the ground’s website or Facebook before travelling.
