Cowboys & Cowgirls,

The Mattaponi Sundowners hosted the 2017 SASS Virginia State Black Powder Shootout, Smoke on the Mattaponi X, yesterday at the West Point Gun Club. We were hoping for a very smokey day but a good breeze all day long, made the targets fairly easy too see.

Congratulations to our Best Dressed Cowgirl – Whiskey Mae and our Best Dressed Cowboy – Frontier Mick, aka “Convict Mick”.

Congratulations to Brizco-Z, Chantilly Shooter, Cody Maverick, Flatboat Bob, Nutmegger, and Sod Buster as our Clean All Day Shooters.

Congratulations to all of our Category Winners!!!!!

We will shoot the 6 stage main match, then enjoy our hamburger and hot dog lunch with all the fixings, followed by range cleanup and we will end the day with our awards ceremony.

In addition to the category awards, we will be giving out awards for the Best Dressed Cowboy and Best Dressed Cowgirl, so look your best.

The round count for the day is: 60 pistol, 51 rifle, and 33 shotgun.

If you have not registered for the match and would still like to shoot it, you can. The registration fee is $60.00 and you will have to shoot in the cowboy category in order to keep the awards true. It would be helpful if you would give us a heads up that you are coming.
