Mattaponi Sundowners match results 11/19/2017

Howdy All,

Well, what a day; a bit windy but for November, not bad.  There were several regular shooters absent today and we missed y’all.  We had a new shooter from Texas via Quantico, Big Iron Patnode and a prospective new shooter “ No Name Yet”; WELCOME to Mattaponi Sundowners and we hope to see y’all again soon.

Congrats to Big Iron Patnode for being the top shooter today and to Big Iron Patnode, Flatboat Bob and Stogie for shooting CAD.  What a way to have your first match at Mattaponi!! 

We want to remind everyone that Mattaponi Sundowners will not be shooting next Saturday.  Our next match will be Sunday, December 17.  This will be our Christmas match and will be followed by dinner at Nick’s with a Chinese Gift exchange.  We hope to see y’all there.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING and safe travel to all.

Update on Shoot For A Cure

Howdy All,

Just wanted to give y’all a final update on the Shoot For A Cure match.  With the Peppermill Creek Gang, Wistful selling more goods and money donated at Range Wars, our GRAND TOTAL IS $6345.  WOW!!!!!  You Cowboys and Cowgirls are AWESOME!!!!  THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR DONATIONS AND SUPPORT!!!!  They is nothing else to say, YOU ARE GREAT BEYOND BELIEF!!!

Loco Linda also wanted me to pass along a message from her.  She was sorry that she couldn’t make the match this year and wanted to say, “THANK YOU” for the cards and prayers.  She really appreciated it.  Please keep her and Ramblin Royce in your prayers and if you get a chance please send her a card.

I’m sorry that this isn’t more upbeat but I learned on my way home from Range Wars that my nephew from my first marriage died today. He was 41 and leaves behind 3 children from 19 to 7 years old.  My heart is broken.

THANK YOU, AGAIN.

Mattaponi Sundowners: Shoot For A Cure match results

Howdy All,

I just wanted to THANK YOU, each and everyone of you again; not for just coming (which was great) but for giving from the bottom of your hearts.  The “SHOOT FOR A CURE” match was a GREAT success, thanks to y’all.  We raised and donated $5620.  This may not be our bottom total because  Wistful is taking some “do rags” to the ship yard to sell.  I will send out the grand total as soon as I know it.  Y’all are so GREAT!!!  You never stop amazing me.  It really shows that so such can be done with so few.  42 shooters and that much money, even our waitress at Nick’s donated!!.

I would like to give a special THANKS to  the following people that worked so hard to help me make this a success:

Inita Shoot
Wistful McClintock
Quilla Star
Mrs. Flatboat
Arizona Ansie
Ricochet

I can’t say enough for the wonderful help that was given to me.  THANK YOU!!

Please take the time to send Loco Linda and Ramblin Royce a card and prayer. Send to: Loco Linda

Fall Member Range Work Day – Saturday October 7th, 2017

Members of the West Point Gun Club,

We will be holding our Fall Member Work Day on Saturday, October 7th, 2017, starting at 8:30 am and continuing until all of the work is completed.

In order for our range to remain open and functioning we need the membership to step up and contribute their fare share of work and support. So please mark this day on your calendars and come on out on Saturday, October 7th and help us keep our club in top operational order. 

The wooden target frames will be repaired and the cardboard backers replaced, the 100 yard target stands in Bay #1 will be repaired as needed, the three shooting bays will be cleared and raked, trash will be picked up along the road and various other maintenance items. In addition, we are going to work on pruning back trees and brush along the range roads and other range areas.

We could use some cordless screw guns / batteries for the cardboard backers, pole saws, branch cutters, maybe a chain saw for the pruning, and yard rakes for cleaning the bays.

The entire range will be closed to all shooting during the work day.
