Mattaponi Sundowners: Happy New Year

/ By

Howdy all Cowboys and Cowgirls, 

 
On behalf of the  Mattaponi Sundowners, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!  I hope everyone is anxious as I am to get started shooting and renewing our friendships in 2024. 
We have decided to try again to  have our Christmas match and party at Nick’s at our January 21st match. Also the Gathering on the Mattaponi match is less than 3 months away. This year it will be held March 15, 16, and 17. The registration form is available on our website www.westpointgunclub.com. 
We are looking forward to another great shooting year, not only at West Point Gun Club, but at each of our local clubs.
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

With regrets, our Sunday match at WPGC, the dinner afterward, and the Christmas gift exchange, have all been cancelled due to the weather forecast.

Mattaponi Sundowners: Christmas Match

/ By
Howdy,
 
We hope to see lots of Cowboys and Cowgirls at the range this Sunday, Dec 17, for the Mattaponi Sundowners’ annual Christmas match.  
 
Whether shooting or not, you are invited to join us after the match at Nick’s for dinner and ‘Cowboy Christmas’ gift exchange.  If you won’t be at the range by match time, but plan to join the party at Nick’s, please call or text Potter at 804-241-5418 to let him know you’re coming.  He needs to give an accurate head count to Nick’s.  If you’re going there directly, we’ll probably finish the match by 4:15 and be on our way to Nick’s around 4:45 or 5:00.
 
The gift exchange after dinner is open to Cowboys/Cowgirls and guests.  If you bring a gift, you get a gift.  If a Grinch ‘steals’ the one you pick, you can choose another one from the table or ‘steal’ from somebody else.  The limit is 3 steals – the 4th ‘owner’ takes it home.
 
For the match, gates open at 10, the safety briefing is at 12:15, and shooting starts at 12:30.  Stages by Cody Maverick are attached.

Mattaponi Sundowners: Match Results Part 2

/ By

Howdy Again,

Addendum to Part 1: detailed scores are attached for those who like that format.  Also, I forgot to mention how much I appreciate having your registrations in advance.  ALL shooters were pre-registered this year !
 
Part 2: Through your generosity, we raised $17,029 for the American Cancer Society !  
 
That number is expected to grow before it becomes final.  We beat last year ($13,586) by more than $1.  Heart-felt thanks to all who made it happen.

Mattaponi Sundowners: Match Results Part 1

/ By

Howdy,

From my perspective, the Pat Graves Memorial Shoot For a Cure of 2023 was a complete success!  We had partly sunny weather with no rain, decent October temperatures, six fun-filled stages, and three possees of friends (some new and some for many years) who enjoy the sport of Cowboy Action shooting.
 
Congratulations to Cody Maverick, who was the match winner and Top Cowboy, and to J. C. Phoenix, who was Top Cowgirl.  Congratulations also to the 17 (that’s right – 17) shooters who shot “clean” although some would call it “No Misses, No P’s” that could be seen through the smoke.
 
The attachments list the clean shooters and scores by time and by category.
 
The subject line above is “Part 1”, which is what I will call the shooting part of the match and the scores.
 
Tomorrow, I’ll let you know about the all-important “Part 2”, which is the fund-raising part of this match.  A first-cut total was $12,500 before the match even started.  I’ll add additional raffle income, the WPGC contribution, and the auction proceeds tomorrow and send another email.  Thanks to all for your overwhelming generosity.
