Cowboy Action

Howdy

Just a few more days until the “Gathering On The Mattaponi”. There are still openings for any last minute shooters.  It is too late to get a badge and you will have to register in the “Cowboy” category, but you can still enjoy 12 stages of shooting and hang out with your cowboy and cowgirl friends. 

The round count for the match is: 120 rifle, 120 pistol, and 41 shotgun.  Of course you may want a few more than that for the occasional jacked out rifle round or the missed shotgun target.  The round count for the “Wildbunch” match is: 8 rifle, 49 pistol and 10 shotgun.

One Eyed Rooster will be there on Saturday with 38, 357, 45LC and 45 ACP brass for sale.  He will also have some bags of 7 ½ and 8 shot for sale at $30 per bag.  This is new shot NOT reclaimed.  Regret Scovefield has a couple of boxes of .358 105 grain TCFP coated bullets for sale. Bullets will be sold as first come first get.

We will begin set up Friday at 1000 so the gates will be open at that time for campers to come in and get set up.  On Saturday morning the gates will open at 0730, safety meeting at 0930 and start shooting at 1000.  Please arrive early enough to get your equipment unpacked and check in for registration.

Attached is the schedule for the weekend.  The weather for the weekend is looking really good at this time.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that it holds out for the match.  We will adjust for the weather as needed.

Please travel safely!!  Looking forward to seeing you all.

Howdy All,

What a wonderful day to shoot!!  The tents made the rain hold off until all was done.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Top Cowboy shooter.  Congrats to Flatboat Bob and Will Sonnet for shooting CAD.  These 2 deserve more than a piece of paper for shooting this match clean. There were 8 P’s on 1 stage, out off 24 shooters.

It was good seeing everyone today and we hope that y’all had fun. Welcome to Doc Morton to West Point and hope to see you again.

Hope to see y’all next week with Pungo shooting on Saturday and Cavalier on Sunday.

Don’t forget that the “Gathering” is fast approaching.  If you haven’t, it’s time to get your money and application in to Whiskey Mae.

Have a great week.

Howdy All,

What a nice day for shooting!  It was a bit long with set up today also but that beat being in the cold and rain to do it yesterday.  How did we do this years ago when everything was stored up range and no tractor for bringing it down either.  We were younger, that’s all I can say!!

It was good to see everyone.  It was nice that Remo and Clementine stopped by during the shoot and had dinner with us.  We wish him well with his upcoming surgery and hope that he is back shooting soon.

Congrats to Cody Maverick for being the TopOverall Shooter.  Congrats to Flatboat, Kuba Kid, Kid At Heart, Will Sonnet, and Missouri Marshal for shooting CAD. We hope everyone enjoyed the match and had fun.

Mattaponi Sundowners will be shooting next Saturday, Feb. 24. The match will start at 1000.  We hope that y’all can join us.  More details and stages to come out later.

Enjoyed seeing everyone today.

Howdy All,

Attached are the scores for January 27, 2018.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall match winner.  Congrats to Lefty Spurmaker and Longhorn Louie for shooting CAD.  I hear that it was a pretty day for a match.  Sorry we weren’t there to enjoy it with you.  It’s windy and raining here but not as cold as it could be, at least rain not snow.  We missed all of y’all.

A very deep ‘THANK YOU’  for everyone’s help in setting up and running the match for us.  We knew we had a good group of people to count on to handle everything for us.

Next Saturday should be a match at Pungo and on Sunday at Cavalier.  We hope to be attending and to see everyone there.  We miss everyone.

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.
