Gun Events Back on Schedule, Groups Resume Operations

By Chris Eger

Shooting sports and gun culture events are rebooting after weeks of quarantine.
Emerging from two months of COVID-19 uncertainty and stay-home orders, shooting sports competitions and firearm events are slowly coming back.
Corresponding to national and statewide guidance to shelter-in-place or stay at home and limit non-essential travel during the onset of the Novel Coronavirus pandemic in the U.S., large events seen as conduits for gun culture in the country started to be canceled in early March. This included the NRA’s 149th Annual Meetings, the USCCA 2020 Expo, assorted NRA competitive shooting national championships, USA Clay Target League matches, the 2020 National Matches at Camp Perry, as well as the Knob Creek machine gun shoot.
Now, with light seemingly at the end of the tunnel on the nationwide lockdowns, some events are being tentatively rescheduled and groups are preparing to resume operations.
The 1,650-acre Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Arizona will reopen May 13 with one-hour online reservations required. All rifle and pistol shooting will be done at steel targets.
CMP’s 500-acre Talladega Marksmanship Park is set to reopen May 13 with updated protocols for staff and the public in light of current events.
Kalash Bash TX 2020 has announced rescheduled dates of Oct. 10-11.
