Mattaponi Sundowners: Match Results

Howdy Cowboys & Cowgirls,

A dozen cowboys enjoyed shooting Cody’s twice-delayed Christmas match today under clear sunny skies.
 
Congratulations to Dakota Rambler for the win, and to our two clean shooters:  Ripsaw and Major B.S. Walker.
 
Let’s hope the weather in February is as good as it was yesterday and today.  Our next matches are on Feb 18th and Feb 24th.  Keep your ‘weathe fingers’ crossed again for the third weekend in March — Gathering on the Mattaponi will be on Saturday March 16th and Sunday March 17th.  No Friday matches this year.
 
An application for the Gathering is attached, along with today’s scores.
