I hope so. I just booked by hotel. Hopefully the powers that be allow for it.
I felt pretty safe with the temperature checks at the gate at the Autumn Grand, but I avoided buildings, and the cases are way higher now then they were back then...
Still even if they impose more restrictions, hopefully we can still turn money into noise in the desert.
I heard from a friend of my cousins hairdresser's sister that they may or may not hold the shoot...
Now that this BS is out of way, as of yesterday everything is a go for my discussion with people who work there. Ben Avery closed down the State Shoot last spring because they are a state run facility and politics come into play. Tucson is private and the Gov. won't want to close one sporting venue while allowing others to operate.. IMHO

As bad as last year was for shooting, I’m afraid this year is going to be worse, with the coronavirus and the shortage of shells, I don’t know how anyone can plan on going anywhere
Talked to a lady at Tucson trap club yesterday, She said they have targets and shells
I will be shooting 300 targets on Saturday
I just hope they have my golf cart
Great thing about trap is you are more than 6’ apart on the stations, outdoors and if you feel like you want to wear a mask, go ahead and you will just have to sea with your buddies ribbing you!
I hope that the shoot goes ahead so that those there can enjoy it, but we all know that with the political situation along with the covid19 pandemic everything can change in the blink of an eye, good luck to those in Tucson, keep your head on the stock and your eye on the target, kill a bunch
Old Tucson has closed it's doors. Did not survive and is selling off what they can. I got an e-mail last month inquiring if I wanted to buy liquor they had in stock. On the news, was a story that a lot of the "cowboy" stuff was sold to a person who was going to open a museum in Tucson. Too bad it was a great attraction.
