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.

Mattaponi Sundowners match results

Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Sorry it has taken me so long to get the scores out but the iPad didn’t want to cooperate.

We didn’t have many to shoot but y’all missed a great weather day and a great match and I ain’t saying that just because Potter wrote it.  We also missed y’all.

Happy Birthday Major B. S. Walker, he was the overall match winner and yesterday was his birthday.  Congrats to Flatboat Bob, Longhorn Louie and Sassy for shooting CAD.

It was good to see Remo and have him shoot with us today.  Please be in prayer for a speedy recovery to Goosefoot who is home recovering from back surgery. 

Here is the latest update from Ripsaw:

Eye is much better today and each day. Scooting around the house in a transport chair. Doctor appointments this coming week and should get some stitches out this coming week. New cast on ankle May 8. Wanted you to see the improvement in the eye (will send as a separate email). Still plenty sore but I think it will all heal ok.  Thanks for the prayers and well wishes.  You guys are the best. Ripsaw

Hope to see y’all at Father Time next week. Travel safe.

Sassy and Potter
