Howdy All,

What a GREAT day, weather wise, for a shoot.  We were glad to see each and everyone of you today.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall match winner. Congrats to One Eyed Jane, Prairie City Slim and Wistful McClintock for shooting CAD.  There’s something fishy in Mattaponi when the husband and wife team plus being the match writer, both shoot CAD.

Mattaponi Sundowners will have a match next Saturday, January 27, 2018.  The gates will open at 8:00, safety meeting at 9:30 and shooting at 10:00. 

As those that were at the match know and for those who couldn’t make; Potter’s Mom passed away last night and her funeral will be Wednesday in PA.  We will be leaving early in the morning for PA.  Also Cody Maverick’s brother is on ventilator support with COPD and pneumonia in NC.  Please keep these families in your prayers.  Potter and Sassy will miss Saturday’s match but there will be plenty of good people there to run it and make it fun.

Hope to see y’all soon.

Rimfire Steel: Cancellation of WPGC Rimfire Steel Match for WED, 03 JAN 2018

/ By

Hello, Shooters!

I hope everyone has had a great and Blessed Christmas and I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

I’ve been trying to stay warm for the last week with some success by staying inside most of the time.  It doesn’t look any better for WED, 06 JAN.  The temperature is not forecasted to reach 30 Degrees until Noon and the “feels like” temperature is forecasted to be 26 degrees.  Realizing that weather guessing is an inexact science, I would say that the temperature trends this week is a good indicator that it will probably be cold enough to make it uncomfortable to shoot (at least for me).

With all that said, I am cancelling the match for WED, 03 JAN.  The next schedule match is for 07 FEB.  Hopefully it will be warm enough to shoot.  

Regards to all!!

Howdy All,

Well today started out nice with sunshine and warm but things quickly turned when the clouds rolled in.  We finished late in the day but it was nice to be with everyone and to shoot a match together.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as overall winner and to Flatboat Bob, Prairie City Slim, One Eyed Jane and Swifty McDraw for shooting CAD.

We had a GREAT time at Nick’s and the gift exchange.

We missed several of our friends and fellow cowboys and cowgirls.  We hope all is well with everyone.

We want to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Stay safe as you travel and celebrate with family and friends.

Hope to see everyone in 2018.

Sassy and Potter
