Howdy all Cowboys and Cowgirls,

The weather guessers are telling us the rain we be gone by match time on Sunday.  However, with the sharp drop in temperatures throughout the morning and afternoon and wind of 15-20 with higher gusts we have decided to cancel the match on Sunday. 

Our next scheduled match will be Saturday, January 26, 2019.  More details to come on that match.

Mattaponi Sundowners match for 1-20-2019

Howdy Cowboys/Cowgirls,

It was a nice day for shooting but a little chilly near the end but NO rain.  Thanks to everyone for helping with set up and tear down.

There’s a new Cowboy in town: Congratulations to Ripsaw as Overall match winner and to Cody Maverick as Jose Wales overall winner (mentioned that because so many shot Jose Wales). Congrats to Flatboat Bob, Ripsaw and One Eyed Jane for shooting CAD.

DON’T FORGET THERE WILL NOT BE A 4^TH SATURDAY MATCH AT MATTAPONI IN NOVEMBER!!

Got congrats from a Cowboy today on the success of the “Shoot For A Cure” match and the gantlet has been dropped: They want us to raise $10,000 next year!!!  Better start saving up now.  None of it is possible without ALL of you wonderful people.  I will try if y’all will.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE AND TRAVEL SAFE!!

Howdy All Cowboys and Cowgirls,

Well, it’s that time again to not blow smoke but to shoot some smoke.  “Smoke On The Mattaponi”, the Virginia State Black Powder match will be held on June 22, 2019.  We plan a fun filled day of shooting a little black powder, sitting around the chuck wagon eating some good vittles and swapping stories. Prairie City Slim will be writing the stages for the match so we know that they will be challenging but fun.

Plans are to set up the range for the match the day before the match.  Gates will open at 0800, mandatory safety meeting at 0930 and shooting starts at 1000.  We will shoot 6 fun filled stages without a break then have lunch. As soon as the match is over we plan a hardy lunch that is included in your match fee and then range take down.  Once the range take down is finished we will have the awards ceremony.

All established categories are recognized but you must register for the match and your category before the registration deadline of June 7,2019.  You can still attend and shoot the match after that date but you will have to shoot in an established category in order to be eligible for an award.  Attached is an application for the “Smoke On The Mattaponi” match.  Please complete and return to Whiskey Mae as soon as possible.  We need everyone’s help in completing this and returning it as soon as possible so we can get an accurate head count for the lunch.  We want enough food but of course we don’t want to come up short or have a lot of left overs.

SASS requires that all shooters for this match must be a current SASS member in good standing.  Please make sure that your SASS alias is spelled correctly including that your SASS badge number is correct.  All shooters names must be submitted to SASS for approval prior to the match.

We are also accepting sponsorships for this match.  If you are interested in sponsoring a stage or any part of this match it will greatly appreciated.  We will be working hard for great sponsorship again this year.

We hope to see y’all at the match.
