Howdy Cowboys, Cowgirls, and friends of the Cowboy Action Shooting sport.
The Mattaponi Sundowners closed out the 2022 season with our annual Christmas match today. Potter County Kid wrote the match and had the targets painted and decorated nicely for Christmas. Congratulations to Dakota Rambler for the win and to Lefty Spurmaker, Marshal P. C. Wabash, and Poney Racer for shooting clean. I hope everyone scored high on the “fun meter” scale; thanks for coming. As always, thanks to those who helped during the match and to those who helped set it up and tear it down. Very special thanks for the LP gas space heaters.
After the match, we filled up a room at Nick’s to have dinner, followed by an interesting exchange of gifts. You bring a gift, pick one when it’s your turn, and wait until somebody takes it away from you. Around and around it goes until nothing is left under the Christmas tree.
Next month, we resume our normal schedule with matches on the 3rd Sunday and 4th Saturday in January and February. We’re already making plans for our 16th Anniversary “Gathering on the Mattaponi” match on the weekend of March 18-19. Hope to see you there.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Scores attached.
