Mattaponi Sundowners match results 3-24-18

Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Today was a little cool but we were able to shoot and have fun.  It was a different but FUN match.  Thank You Cody Maverick for the interesting stages.  Think we learned 2 things; light loads and to aim.

There’s a new Cowboy in Town; Congrats to Doc Pill Filler as Overall Match Winner.  Congrats to Flatboat Bob and Wistful McClintock for shooting CAD.

Next Saturday is 5th Saturday so there is no SASS match that we know of and keep an eye out for details about Cavalier Cowboys having a match next Sunday.  Keep an eye on your calendar because this will be one of those weird months with the 1st being on a Sunday.

HAPPY EASTER, to everyone!!

Gathering On The Mattaponi

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.

Hi, Shooters!

Finally, here are the scores from our match.  We had some technical difficulties getting the scores in the right format, but all is good now.

It was a cold and damp day, but I think we all had fun.  Always good to shoot with friends and enjoy each others’ company.

The next match will be WED, 04 APR.  Hope to see you all there.

West Point Gun Club Double Action Match March 8th

The West Point Gun Club will be having their monthly Double Action match this Thursday, Mar 8th. The gates open at 8:00 AM, setup starts at 8:30 AM, sign up starts at 8:30 AM and shooting starts at 10:00 AM. In addition to our 6 stage Double Action match, we will be having the following:

    – 20 round J-Frame (5 shot, short barrel) stage
    – 20 round 1911 stage using Wild Bunch Rules (smaller frame carry 1911’s are OK to use)
    – We will also be shooting a 29 round stage (24 with normal DA Firearm then 5 rounds with a J-Frame) this will be one of the 6 DA stages.

If it rains we will put up tents. Also if there is time after the normal stages have been completed we may have another 1911 stage so you may want to bring extra ammo for the 1911.
 As normal all stages are shot using adult caliber firearms (center fire) and no lasers, red dot or other optics are allowed.
