Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Sunday the Mattaponi Sundowners will be holding a match written by Ripsaw.  The gates will open at 1030, safety meeting at 1200 and shooting starts at 1230.

It is supposed to be warm.  We will have “cowboy casual” dress code with NO open toed shoes or ball caps though.  We will have tents, fans and cold water available.  You may want to bring your favorite sports drink too.

We hope that you all are remembering Goosefoot as he heals from his fall.  We also hope that you can join us for a fun match on Sunday.  Don’t’ forget to get your applications in for Star City Shootout in 2 weeks, time is getting short.  We need to support our State match.

West Point Match Aug 18 2019

The WPGC Range will be closed on Aug. 28th and Sept. 6th from 8:00 am till 12:00 pm for the annual West Point Police firearms qualifying. 

Howdy All,

Well today surprised us by getting so hot so quick.  We apologize for not being prepared and having fans out, we will try to do better next month.  Frontier Mick provided an interesting and fun match but I think he might have learned about movement stages in hot weather. Thanks Mick!  First one of many down.

Congrats to Major B S Walker for being appointment “Regulator”.  It was good seeing Ripsaw.  Thanks for nominating B. S. for Regulator.  It was really nice to have Flatboat Bob and Missouri Marshal there for the presentation since they are the only 2 Regulators from our area.  We are a little thin in that area.

We also have 2 observers there today that are interested in getting started in Cowboy Action. We hope to see them back soon.  Don’t know if y’all noticed a couple that came late and only stayed for a couple of stages.  We might be seeing them back next month.  They are our new friends from PA that have moved into the area.  We met them at the PA State Championship.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall match winner.  Congrats to the husband and wife duo for shooting CAD, One Eyed Jane and Prairie City Slim.  We also send them Congrats and well wishes for celebrating their 50^th wedding anniversary last week.

Pepper Mill Gang will be shooting tomorrow.

Take care, stay out of the heat and be safe.

Stages for 7-21-19

Howdy All,

We hate to do this but it looks like it’s going to be too dang hot to shoot Sunday. 

I don’t think it would be safe gun handling or safe for any of us with 99 degrees and humid.  We don’t have enough fans to fight that.

We hope to see y’all next Saturday.

Don’t forget to start getting your applications in for Virginia State Championship.  The application can be found on StarCityShootout.com.

Stay cool and hydrated.

We know that the weather isn’t looking great but with heat at near 99 and humidity, we will have tents and fans to help us through this heat.  We will have a relaxed dress code but no open toe shoes or ball caps though.

Stages for 7-21-19

The West Point Gun Club Double Action Match for tomorrow, July 11th, is canceled.

The range will be closed all day on Friday, June 21st and Saturday, June 22nd, 2019.

The range is reserved for the SASS Virginia State Blackpowder Shootout, Smoke on the Mattaponi. 

Howdy All,

There were some interesting stages but fun to shoot.  It was warm today and you have never known it but we had trouble keeping the tents grounded from the wind. There was no need for fans, Mother Nature took care of that and I for one was very glad she did.  Thanks to One Eyed Jane, who helped us all out by having us start with stages 3-6.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall Match winner and to Kuba Kid as the ONLY CAD.

We missed many of our regular shooters but we hope that you all were out making some nice memories with your Dad’s or with your kids, if you’re really lucky you got to do both.

Smoke on The Mattaponi will be next Saturday.  It’s not too late to sign up, just has to be in an established category.  Go to the website of westpointgunclub.com for the application.  Hope to see y’all next Saturday.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
