A message from Pyramyd Air

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Airgunners - 

It’s Kristen, the Director of Marketing here for Pyramyd Air. If you are like me, you can’t believe how quickly the year is flying by...just like that, June is already here.

We’ve been getting your questions and messages regarding the Pyramyd Air Cup, and we thank you all for your interest. We purposely remained quiet, and didn’t open up registration, until we felt like we had a final decision about the event - which we came to recently. And, much to our disappointment, we have decided to cancel the Pyramyd Air Cup for 2020. 

To say we are bummed is an understatement. Starting in January, Cup planning was in full swing to make sure we built upon the success of the 2019 Cup to make 2020 an even bigger success. Then, COVID hit, and our plans began to unravel. Instead of thinking of ways to up the ante over years’ past, our focus dramatically shifted to planning an event while taking into account additional safeguards such social distancing, masks, and hand sanitizing.

After putting our heads together to think through possible ways of putting on the 2020 Cup, we couldn’t strike an acceptable-to-us balance of keeping the fun intact while ensuring competitor and employee safety. At the end of the day, we decided the best course would be to cancel this year’s competition, and start focusing on 2021.

For next year, our goal is to have the Cup return to its pre-pandemic splendor...full of glove-less handshakes, sanitizer-free high fives, and being able to enjoy a beer at the banquet without maintaining a six foot distance. We want trash talking to be done mask-free, the way it was intended.

In the meantime, stay safe, have a great summer and we’ll see you in 2021.

Thanks - 
Kristen Coss

P.S. If you are around / near the Columbus, Ohio area, Cardinal Shooting Center, home of the Pyramyd Air Cup is open for business. If you are itching for some trigger time, it’s a great facility to spend a few hours in!
 
You're not alone. The Experimental Aircraft Association's "Airventure" ("Oshkosh") fly-in was cancelled too!

I hope so, but our masters and rulers are conjuring up all kinds of scary stuff and new despotic dictatorial decrees even today. I would not rule out them keeping their tyranny going (and personal control freak endorphin rush addictions) through 2021 too. Back in 1968, 1957 and 1917 we had worse pandemics without destroying the world's economy and countless healthy peoples' lives!

Kristen,

Sad, but a good call. I know some clubs are starting to run matches but almost all of the big shooting matches are not happening this year. We have cancelled our local matches and our club is currently only open to members and immediate family so obviously no matches. Whatever your political view may be the reality is that there is no cure for covid19 and if you get the virus you cannot un-catch it. When there is a big match you have competitors coming from and travel through all parts of the country with, no matter how careful they are, heightened potential to spread the virus.

Best wishes for next year.

Rick B.
