The National Rifle Association (NRA) has decided to cancel the 2020 NRA Precision Pistol Championships, July 1-5; NRA High Power Championships, August 9-25; and the 2020 NRA Smallbore Championships scheduled for July 23-August 4 due to the coronavirus.

NRA said the reason was to “the current state of affairs surrounding COVID-19, the uncertainties associated with this pandemic at present, and shutdowns across the country that have impeded vital preparatory work.”

NRA added in a statement, “We are trying to make the best of the current situation by moving forward with range construction and other improvements as we look towards the 2021 NRA National Championships season. The NRA is also exploring the feasibility of hosting a variety of new NRA events at Camp Atterbury (if conditions are favorable) with the state of Indiana later this year. We share your disappointment that we had to cancel these competitions.”
