GHOST PLUZ CLEANUP: Saturday, May 23rd

I have made a few posts already asking people to help clean up Ghost PLUZ. Most people seem to be available on weekends so I’ve decided to go out this Saturday, May 23rd.

If you are in the Calgary area and would like to join, please DM me for a pin. Anytime throughout the day works.

Even if we can get a few people out there, I know it would make a huge difference.

Thank you to everyone in advance for your awesome contributions!

UPDATE: Ghost PLUZ Cleanup Day

Yesterday, I made a post about my experience at Ghost PLUZ earlier this week. The place was an absolute mess, and I was disgusted to say the least. I posted about how bad the place had gotten and asked if anyone in the Calgary area would like to volunteer to clean up the area, to help keep our spots open and available. I was pleasantly surprised to see the sheer volume of amazing people, willing to volunteer their labour to help clean up.

As a personal side note, I am 21 years old and have only gotten into shooting recently. I was 19 when I bought my first real gun, and since then I have had a ton of fun exploring this hobby. My immediate family doesn’t hunt or shoot, so I’m the first in my household to get into guns. This hobby has the most amazing and respectful community. Almost everyone I have met on public land while shooting, has been a friend to me. They are kind, respectful and eager to welcome the younger generation into this sport. However, day after day, I see our hobby become more of a political scapegoat. I see higher ups in the government, blatantly lying about their actions and intentions, targeting the most law abiding citizens in Canada. This, combined with the horrendous state of public land I witnessed, makes me very fearful for the future of our hobby.

If you are passionate about sport-shooting, hunting or other activities, and want to keep this hobby available to you and future generations, it would be greatly appreciated for you to join us.

If you live in or around the Calgary area, and want to do your part, please comment/upvote a day when you are available. If we can even get a few people out here, it would make a huge difference.

It’s only gotten worse.

Went shooting for the first time this year. My usual spot because it’s the closest to my house. Made a post last year about the heaps of garbage at the spot and it’s only gotten twice as bad. Had a guy come to the spot and tell us that he had been told by a friend that it’s going to be shut down very soon. He also said that he has come by and collected 14 POUNDS OF BRASS to recycle and barely cleaned up the place. A place very close by was already shut down a few years ago because of the same reasons and having this place shut down too would not be unjustified. I am unbelievably disappointed and disgusted by this. There were car doors, frying pans, steel targets, antifreeze jugs, pop cans, cardboard boxes and other garbage, littered everywhere. There were 2 deer carcasses nearby that had been shot at (although they could’ve died by lead poisoning, who’s to say) there were tree cut down by gunfire fire facing THE ROAD. This is an unbelievably bad look for our community.

If anyone living near Calgary would be willing to help clean up the place, that would be fantastic. I know almost everyone on this subreddit respects the land they shoot on, so this is not a reflection of us personally. If we can find some people that would be willing to go out and clean up, I and the people who enjoy this hobby would be more than appreciative. There are dozens of steel targets out there that are perfectly good to use (I’ve found over 15) if you want an incentive to go out there, there’s free steel to repurpose.

Please don’t let our hobby get shut down.

Tried using the sign codes on my realm. They were working fine yesterday. After I downloaded the most recent update today, it no longer works. All sign codes don’t work anymore. Also pressing “return” to lower text doesn’t work anymore.

Anyone else experiencing this bug?
