December Double Action Match
It seems we have another DA match following one day after the Rimfire Match. I’m going to change the date to December 15, instead of December 8. It will then be on the same day as the club meeting.
Thank you,

Mattaponi Sundowners: Nov 20th Scores
Howdy,
Lots of visitors today for this somber occasion. I’m sure that Gary was glad to see each and every one of you. After some moving stories and recollections from Flatboat Bob, there were 12 shooters who braved the cool weather and chilling winds.
Congratulations to Ripsaw, the winner and one of only two clean shooters along with Cotton Connie. All 12 shooters bagged a flying turkey with impressive marksmanship.
Scores attached.

Mattaponi Sundowners: Nov 12th Scores
Howdy,
We had ideal weather for a match today and 15 shooters took advantage of it. Thanks to all for a safe match.
Congratulations to Ripsaw, the winner, and to Buzzard Bayne and One Eyed Jane for shooting clean.
Thanks for helping out during the match and afterward with tear-down. Our newest helper was Mason, who did an amazing job as brass picker-upper (he’s only 6 !).
Please keep Sassy in your prayers.
Scores attached.

WPGC Membership: Schedule change reminder
There is a cowboy action match scheduled for this Saturday Nov. 12. This match is to make up for not having one on the normal Saturday which would fall on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Also, please remember to sign in and out on the range use register in the target shed. This list is used only for numbers in determining most used days. No names are put on any computer or stored on any drives. The pages will be destroyed on a rotation every 6 months.
When locking the front gate please do not pull the chain tight. By doing so it makes it hard for the next member to turn the lock and work the combination. Pulling the chain tight does not make the gate any more secure than using the end link of the chain.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
Gary L. Graves
President WPGC

I want to thank Dakota Rambler for the reminder.
