Mattaponi Sundowners MATCH CANCELLATION

/ By

Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Sunday’s weather is calling for temps of 97, high humidity and a heat index of about 110.  We hate to do this but we are cancelling the match for Sunday with the Mattaponi Sundowners. The weather is just going to be too HOT to safely have a match even with tents and fans.

Look for information next week about Saturday’s match to be held on July 25.

Please everyone stay safe, stay cool and stay hydrated!!!

Smoke On The Mattaponi

/ By
Cowboys and Cowgirls,
 
Well, the time has come for a decision.  The uncertainty of the Covid19 has made me decide to cancel the Smoke On The Mattaponi match.  Many factors have made this decision for me: businesses closed, unemployment up, the “Stay at Home” policy making soliciting sponsorship difficult, making plans for the luncheon, will the place where we get the awards from be open soon enough to accommodate our needs plus what phase of Virginia reopening will we be in at the time of the match. For all of these reasons it have made this event difficult to call but we do know it would not get the consideration that it deserves if we have to do everything last minute.
 
It has been suggested that I postpone and reschedule, but with other clubs in the same situation trying to reschedule and other clubs planning their two day matches, it’s just not going to work out.  I even tried to call SASS but they were closed, so I had to send an email.  
 
For those who have already registered we will be contacting you to see if you want your checks back or for us to shred them.  
 
I will be submitting the application for next years Virginia State Black Powder Shootout to SASS soon.  
 
Hope next year we will not be in this situation and not only can we enjoy shooting the Smoke match but also all of the matches we have been missing with all of our friends (Cowboy family) in good health.
 
Stay safe and we hope to be seeing y’all soon.

Cowboy Matches

Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,
 
We are sorry to announce that the scheduled Cowboy matches for May 17 and 23 are cancelled in accordance with the “Stay at Home” policy for the state.
We are not sure what will happen at this point to the “Smoke On the Mattaponi”. We understand that May 8th has a possibility of opening of some Non Essential businesses but as it stands now the “Stay at Home” policy will remain until June 10. Let’s keep our fingers and toes crossed that this holds out and doesn’t get extended.
Once a decision has been made, closer to the date of the match, we will notify everyone.
By the time we get to shoot again, we all may need mentors. Did you hear that our Governor said we can do “drive up gun purchases” ?
Y’all stay safe and hope to see you soon.

Howdy All,

 

It was a bit cool today and stayed that way.  Well, Frontier Mick was still walking when I last saw; no broken knee caps or lynching.  It was a good match even though I only shot ½ of it.

 

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall Match winner.  Congrats to Beartooth, Marshall P. C. Wabash, One Eyed Jane and Prairie City Slim for shooting CAD.

 

I was good seeing everyone. Remember the Gathering deadline for applications is Feb. 28, so get your applications in.  See y’all next Sunday at Cavalier.

Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Well, NOT a drop of rain during the match, in fact we had sunshine almost the entire match.  What a January day!!

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall Match Winner.  Congrats to Flatboat Bob, Cody Maverick and Mack Moshannon for shooting CAD.

We enjoyed having Mack Moshannon (another Pennsylvanian) and Tom Mix with us today.  Today was Tom Mix’s first match. We had another “new” shooter today, Doc Pill Filler.  It was good to see him.  Y’all will owe me because I’m about to pay Cody to make sure I never see stage 3’s rifle sequence again!!!  I was also the only P.

Don’t forget to get your application for “The Gathering On The Mattaponi”.  You can go to www.westpointgunclub.com and get the application.

We want to continue to wish Remo Williams and Major B. S. Walker a speedy recovery.
