I did call motel, they told me to go through Hotels.com, after I did, the motel called me back, & asked me if I changed?

What kind of weather    can we expect in the middle of August in Kansas? You know us Northern boys melt in weather above 60 degrees!    I'm glad I have a generator and air cond. in my camper! 

Good call, by the way.

Are there rifle racks at all the stages or should we bring gun carts?

Historical average 80 degrees 65% humidity.
Actually, I am happy it moved. I have several new toys to try out before making the decision what to bring. My latest acquisition, an 1899 S&W in 32/20.
Going to range Thursday, guns to try out Colt New Service, & Webley Mk5 with shaved cylinders. A Colt Thunderer 3.5" bbl, will the hallow bade open enough to make usable, & the 1899 in 32/20.
Haven't been to range yet, didn't have my 32/20 yet. Picked up the 1899 in 32/20 Friday, overall it is 85%, cylinder catch weak, applied WD40, better. I did get 3 of 4 side plate screws out to work on spring, the 4th too stubborn, but at this time it is usable. Will go to range next week, 2 days crossed out, I have volunteered 2x days at UIHC as patient transport.

Are you extending the May 15 deadline on the registration?   Just how old will you be tomorrow? 

[Trap]

   Yes , lets go with aug 3 for the early bird date.    jt

[Dusty Tagalon]

I am lucky the date was changed, on Monday my department canceled vacations, between ramping up to full speed, & suppling 440 hours a week for entry points, there is little room for vacation.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that:

the NCOWS 2020 National Match has been canceled.

With the continuing COVID19 restrictions imposed by the State of Kansas, the resulting logistical consequences makes continuing with the Match impractical.

No one likes this decision but given all of the circumstances/facts; it is the correct decision.

I would like my entry fee to go as a donation to NCOWS.

I know it was a hard decision, and can only imagine how the internet burned with conversation back and forth . . .

Thanks, Mike. I will cancel motel reservations.

A real shame, but not unexpected ( given the current COVID19 information )

[bushwhacker]

I really hate it, but I understand.
I am sure it was a hard decision.

Well crap! I understand, you had to. Canceled my motel reservations.
I am not surprised with the cancellation, no vaccine vs increased infection. Sorry, stick the fork in my butt, I am done this year! No vaccine this year, I can't won't commit to anything.
Also accept my entry fee as donation to NCOWS.
