It was Norways shift to organise a Military Nordic Shooting Championships (NMSC) this year. Primarily this was to happen in Elverum 29.6.-3.7.2020. But due to the Covid-19 issue the championships is cancelled.
Nordic Military Shooting Championships is organised every year by the rotating turns between the Nordic countries. The tournee will go on next year in Sweden and then year 2022 in Finland.
According to the international pieces of information of the CISM shooting our great discipline is more or less in danger.
After Swiss colonel Bruno Wolfensberger had to resign of his military duties the management of the CISM shooting has gone quite problematic. Recently elected new president shooting of the CISM, Chinese lieutenant colonel Vincent Zhang is heard to have some challenges to fulfill his and shooting committees tasks. Anyway we remember that the 7th Military World Games in Wuhan (CHN) was an occasion to remember very long.
The development of the CISM situation is being carefully looked after.
Furthermore, we have heard that the CISM military shooting championships 2020 in Thailand is cancelled. The same may happen with CISM Cadet Games in Russia this year. And for the coming years, there are not big rush with organisers.
To maintain our core military sport the CISM needs to find organisers for the world or regional championships. This could be done all or some disciplines together or totally separately: 25 m, 50 m, 300 m or shotgun. So, athletes and coaches etc, please contact your head of delegation to maintain the great opportunity to demonstrate this great skill of the military.

Hellou our shooting friends all over the world.
It has been six months since we met in a city which is nowadays quite well known world wide. Most readers find it out very soon what I am meaning. Of course it is Wuhan in China. I hope that none of you have personally familiarised with this awful disease. But now the sun is rising again and if we are lucky we will meet very soon.
Keep training – we will start competing soon!
