Mattaponi Sundowners: Saturday Scores

/ By

Howdy,

Ripsaw wrote an interesting match;  he and Flatboat Bob were the only two out of 15 shooters who shot it clean.  If you’ve never seen a “Dagnabbit Award”, one is attached; it’s sort of a consolation for those who “let one get away”.
 
Congratulations to Cody Maverick for winning the match.
 
Time for a little trivia.  Today’s clean shooters have the most clean matches since 2020: Flatboat has 26 and Ripsaw has 19.  One Eyed Jane is close behind with 18.  During the same period of time, not counting the Gathering, there have only been 5 shooters who finished in first place: Cody Maverick, Ripsaw, Dakota Rambler, Major B.S. Walker, and Doc Pill Filler.
 
More trivia: an iPad will give an Overheating Alarm if you use it under direct sunlight for too long.  I let it take a nap and cool off under a clipboard while we finished stage 6 with paper scores.

Howdy,

We had good weather and a good turnout for today’s match.  It was good to see One Eyed Rooster after a long absence.  Dakota Rambler brought his daughter to cheer him on; she kept score while I gave my eyes a rest after retinal surgery.
 
Congratulations to Ripsaw for winning the match and to the five who shot it clean:  Ripsaw, Major B.S. Walker, Lefty Spurmaker, Bingo Montana, and Flatboat Bob.

Howdy Y’all,

Ten of us got a little wet, but not too bad. Drizzle started at the end of stage 3, then turned to light rain.  We set up tents for the second half of the match.  The rain stopped by the end of the match, just in time for us to put our gear and targets away.
 
It was worth a little rain to shoot the cigar out of the target’s mouth for an 8 second bonus.  Half of us hit it and got to keep it for a souvenir.
 
Congratulations to the winner, Dakota Rambler, and to our three clean shooters:  Dakota Rambler (can you believe it?), Bingo Montana, and Flatboat Bob.
 
Scores attached.
