Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

It got rather warm, all right HOT, today but thanks to tents and fans it was doable. Thanks to Frontier Mick for fun stages. I thought it was a good match. We hope that y’all had fun.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall Match winner. There were NO CAD shooters today.  Thanks to everyone for coming and joining us. Thanks to those that helped with set up and take down. We can’t do it without you.

The prayer list grows: please keep Missouri Marshall and Tricky Trina in your prayers especially for a speedy recovery for Marshal. Ripsaw for A Fib. He is back home after a trip to the hospital. Let’s hope that heart beats in a normal rhythm and not one of it’s own. Flatboat Bob for blood pressure issues.

Hope to see y’all soon. Stay safe and Covid19 free, keep cool and keep hydrated.

Next weekend we have matches at Pungo on Saturday and Cavalier on Sunday. Let’s support as much as we can.

Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Well we are going to try it again for this coming Saturday.  The weather is supposed to be a bit cooler and less humid. We plan on having tents and fans as needed.

Gates will open at 0800, safety meeting is at 0930 and shooting starts at 1000. Please don’t be waiting until the last minute to arrive as I need time to get the computers set up with your information.

We hope to see y’all there.  We will set up loading tables to best manage social distancing. Masks are very suggestive since there is an uptake in new cases of Covid19 but they are not mandatory.

Mattaponi Stages July 25, 2020

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!!!

Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Ready to finally shoot a match with the Mattaponi Sundowners?  We sure hope so.  Attached are the stages for Sunday. Gates will open at 1000, safety meeting at 1200 and shooting starts at 1230.  I just checked with Nick’s, we will be able to go eat after the match. They are reserving the back room for us. Wearing a mask into the restaurant is required under Stage II of reopening. It can be removed to eat, kind of hard to eat without doing that. Hey, I didn’t say it first, your Governor did.

I didn’t want to provide water at the match as we usually do because of cross contamination but I don’t see a way around this with the temperatures in the 90’s. If you aren’t comfortable with this please bring your own water or sports drink in your own cooler.

We will try to practice social distancing. Please be mindful that you may be comfortable getting closer than 6’ but the person around you may not be, so please keep this in mind.  We strongly suggest that you wear a mask but this isn’t required.  We will set up a way for you to safely use and touch the handles (etc) the portapotty. With the Phase II in place we will not be limited to a group of 10, so we should be able to handle our normal posse` numbers.

We are looking forward to seeing our friends and Cowboy family again. We sure have missed y’all. See ya Sunday. Don’t forget this Sunday is Father’s Day, also.

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.
