Attached are the stages for Saturday’s match. As of now, the weather is looking very hot with a high of 98 degrees and a heat advisory. We are hoping something will happen to change this forecast but if it doesn’t we will be looking out for the safety of our Cowboys and Cowgirls too. We will send out any announcement of cancellation as early as possible on Friday. If we get to have the match; gates will open at 0800, safety meeting at 0930 and shooting will start at 1000.

WPGC Double Action: Match Results
We had a successful day yesterday. In total there were five shooters, and we began just before 10:00. We used the following categories: revolver 3″ barrel or less, revolver greater than 3″ barrel, pistol 3″ barrel or less, pistol greater than 3″ barrel and we had two .22 pistols with barrel greater than 3″. The results are:
Revolver 3″ or less: Southpaw Yankee 186
Revolver greater than 3″ Jackass Flats 196
Pistol 3″ or less Jackass Flats 166
Pistol greater than 3″ Rooster & Jackass Flats 160
.22 Pistol greater than 3″ Jackass Flats 200
Maximum possible score is 200, 20 rounds per stage with 10 pts. maximum per shot.
For me, I realized I need to work on my 1911 shooting. I think everyone had an enlightening experience The same target at 5 or 10 yards is much more difficult to hit at 20 or 25 yards. We will plan on doing this match next month. I will not be able to be there, but I think I have secured a replacement. Come on out and give it a try. Until then….

WPGC Double Action: July 14, 2022, DA Match
WPGC will be holding a paper silhouette match in lieu of the DA match this Thursday. Attached is set of guidelines and information that you will find helpful. This match is a “get acquainted” match that will eventually be used as a backup to the DA match when participation is too light to justify a steel set up. Gates will be open at 8:30 and the match will begin at 10:00. Come give it a try, it’ll be fun.
