As due to the current Coronavirus outbreak I’ve gotten notice of several mid and long range match closers, these listed effect me personally.

Check with your organization websites for further details and feel free to add to this list as information comes in.

IBS- Deep Creek Range Missula.Mt
has canceled March 28-29 1000 yard

NBRSA- Medford OR has canceled the mid April Nationals 600 & 1000 yard events.

Pretty much everything is cancelled in the Atlanta area, and has been for the last 10 days. I shot my last USPSA match 2 Tuesdays ago... don't expect I'll get to shoot another one for many, many weeks.
 
Being kind of a monomaniac, I am missing my normal two weekly USPSA, IDPA, and Style matches.
Practice still possible, there is a sparsely attended range in the county. I doubt it is on any bureaucrat's shutdown list. It shouldn't be, anyhow, I am usually alone on a weekday. A crowd of two this week, a friend sorting out his PCC.
 
The F-Class Match at Marshall, Mo. was to be Held this Weekend, was Canceled this Past Wednesday.
I'm a High power Shooter, sometimes I like to get some more Mid Range Practice in, and they let us infiltrate the Firing Line to shoot.
Was planning on going, but the Weather was going to be in the mid to high 40's, so I did not Register, 50 deg yes 40 deg No.

Hope our High Power Match in May still goes forward?

I'm in the dark right now as to if we will be having any local matches.

I normally shoot a IDPA match every Monday and one once a month on Saturday. Our last match this past Monday I asked about the current situation affecting matches and was told everything was still a go.

We've been under the restricted 10 person gathering order for a week now in VA. I called the two local indoor ranges, one of which is where we hold our weekly matches and they are both running business as usual.

However I have not been able to sign up on PS this whole week and have tried several times. I'm going to try and contact the MD directly tomorrow.

I'm not worried about practice as I'm fortunate to be able to shoot at my home, but I will miss matches dearly if it comes to that. And if it does I fear it will be months not weeks...
 
Yup... I was entered in Southwind Shootout, Federal Premium PRS match, and a couple regional PRS matches which have been canceled. Wasn’t planning to go, but there’s an NRL match in Oklahoma this coming weekend which appears to still be going on - although I’d have to break the county lockdown “stay at home” order prohibiting non-essential travel. Can’t decide yet on that one.
 
My IDPA club suspended matches until further notice last night. My 3Gun club still has the APR match scheduled in Practiscore, but the county just issued a "stay at home" order, so they probably haven't caught up yet.
 
Deep Creek range in Montana has opened up a bit for Residents and those whom have been self quarantined for 14 days on entry into the state as per the Governor so I’ll be able to attend the IBS 1000 yard Benchrest in June :)
 
CMP is sanctioning matches again but not the NRA

I’ve really been disappointed in them for a while now. This is just another reason
 
Looks like it's starting to open up around here as well.

I missed last weekends outdoor match because I was late to find out, but our indoor Monday night matches are starting back up and I'm shooting my first in 2 1/2 months this coming Monday.

Actually I hadn't fired any live fire since my last match in March. Between rebuilding my backstop and scourcing ammo I was keeping low.

I shot my first box in almost 3 months last night. I'm going to try and get 2-300 more rounds in between now and Monday along with the regular dry fire.

Still, I can tell I've reverted some not getting my regular live fire.
 
Indoor matches are back up. My local indoor IDPA has 2 bays. 3 shooters, an RO and a scorer on each bay. 15 minutes to shoot 2 stages. Swap with the group on the other bay. 15 more minutes for 2 stages. So every half-hour they run 6 shooters. The ROs and Scorers shoot the first half-hour so from 6:30 till 9pm they get 30 people though It's a hard push for them and it isn't as easy on the shooters as you might think either. Best to come with enough mags to see you through the 4 stages. Not much time to refill.

ICORE canceled the IRC in the fall. Things just got to hectic and so many other matches piled up in Sep-Nov not only was range and volunteer availability getting squeezed but shooters where opting out. Plus with people coming from Europe, Asia and Australia, they needed to make firm plans now not wait until the fall.
 
We’re back up and running with Precision Rifle matches around here. Although honestly, the way I have shot the last couple of weekends, I might prefer we were still suspended!
 
I'm shooting in a 4 state F Class team match coming up this weekend with my son, daughter and her boyfriend (I'm way behind on making ammo). The MD cut the number of entrants in half from previous years to address a nebulous COVID safety stance

Still, won't be sanctioned by the NRA.
 
Deep Creek 1k Benchrest In Missoula is back up and running, I’ll post some results if y’all are interested.
Here’s a taste of how my weekend panned our.
