Howdy Cowboys and Cowgirls,
Gathering on the Mattaponi is coming up in 11 days. Here’s who’s coming:
By my count, that’s 53 who registered before the deadline. Flatboat Bob and Missouri Marshal won’t be shooting Saturday, giving us 51. We expect to have 48 shooters on Sunday. We’ll have 3 posses.
Name tags and awards have been ordered, posse assignments are nearing completion, and stage books have been printed. It’s not too late to sign up, but contact Gary (Potter County Kid) as soon as possible to let him know your plans.
The weekend schedule is attached. Please check in with me or Gary as soon as you arrive.
See you on March 16th and 17th.

Mattaponi Sundowners: Gathering Update
As promised, here’s an updated shooter’s list for the Gathering. We had a flurry of activity yesterday, by e-mail and snail mail, putting us at 41 shooters plus 3 who might come for one day only.
It’s not too late to sign up, but if you think the mail won’t get here in time, let me or Gary know you’re coming and your category.

Mattaponi Sundowners: Saturday Results
Howdy Again,
After a cool start, it turned out to be a nice day for a Cowboy Action match.
Congratulations to our winner – Walker Colt, who also shot the match clean along with Bingo Montana, Swifty McDraw, Marshal P.C. Wabash, and Mac Moshannon.
Pungo Posse (Saturday) and Cavalier Cowboys (Sunday) have matches next weekend.
The next WPGC match is the Gathering on the Mattaponi on March 16th and 17th. We have received quite a few registrations that are not on the shooter’s list that I sent out yesterday. Thank you. I’ll send an updated list soon – maybe tomorrow.
Today’s scores are attached.
