Gathering On The Mattaponi

/ By

Howdy

Just a few more days until the “Gathering On The Mattaponi”. There are still openings for any last minute shooters.  It is too late to get a badge and you will have to register in the “Cowboy” category, but you can still enjoy 12 stages of shooting and hang out with your cowboy and cowgirl friends. 

The round count for the match is: 120 rifle, 120 pistol, and 41 shotgun.  Of course you may want a few more than that for the occasional jacked out rifle round or the missed shotgun target.  The round count for the “Wildbunch” match is: 8 rifle, 49 pistol and 10 shotgun.

One Eyed Rooster will be there on Saturday with 38, 357, 45LC and 45 ACP brass for sale.  He will also have some bags of 7 ½ and 8 shot for sale at $30 per bag.  This is new shot NOT reclaimed.  Regret Scovefield has a couple of boxes of .358 105 grain TCFP coated bullets for sale. Bullets will be sold as first come first get.

We will begin set up Friday at 1000 so the gates will be open at that time for campers to come in and get set up.  On Saturday morning the gates will open at 0730, safety meeting at 0930 and start shooting at 1000.  Please arrive early enough to get your equipment unpacked and check in for registration.

Attached is the schedule for the weekend.  The weather for the weekend is looking really good at this time.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that it holds out for the match.  We will adjust for the weather as needed.

Please travel safely!!  Looking forward to seeing you all.

Hi, Shooters!

Finally, here are the scores from our match.  We had some technical difficulties getting the scores in the right format, but all is good now.

It was a cold and damp day, but I think we all had fun.  Always good to shoot with friends and enjoy each others’ company.

The next match will be WED, 04 APR.  Hope to see you all there.

West Point Gun Club Double Action Match March 8th

/ By

The West Point Gun Club will be having their monthly Double Action match this Thursday, Mar 8th. The gates open at 8:00 AM, setup starts at 8:30 AM, sign up starts at 8:30 AM and shooting starts at 10:00 AM. In addition to our 6 stage Double Action match, we will be having the following:

    – 20 round J-Frame (5 shot, short barrel) stage
    – 20 round 1911 stage using Wild Bunch Rules (smaller frame carry 1911’s are OK to use)
    – We will also be shooting a 29 round stage (24 with normal DA Firearm then 5 rounds with a J-Frame) this will be one of the 6 DA stages.

If it rains we will put up tents. Also if there is time after the normal stages have been completed we may have another 1911 stage so you may want to bring extra ammo for the 1911.
 As normal all stages are shot using adult caliber firearms (center fire) and no lasers, red dot or other optics are allowed.

Hello Shooters!!

Our next Rimfire Steel Match is scheduled for this WED, 07 MAR.  I’m watching the weather.  Right now Weather Bug says it will be low 40s, windy, and possible showers.  So we will hold the match unless the weather changes dramatically.  Dress warmly and bring rain gear  (that way it won’t rain!).

Refer to http://www.westpointgunclub.com/shooting-programs/rimfire-steel/ for a description of these matches and equipment requirements. In addition, the Open class will be available. In addition to that, the Cowboy Class will allow two Single-Action revolvers to be fired “gunfighter style” (one in each hand).

Gates open at 8:30 a.m.; match starts at 10.

See you there!

Howdy All,

What a wonderful day to shoot!!  The tents made the rain hold off until all was done.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Top Cowboy shooter.  Congrats to Flatboat Bob and Will Sonnet for shooting CAD.  These 2 deserve more than a piece of paper for shooting this match clean. There were 8 P’s on 1 stage, out off 24 shooters.

It was good seeing everyone today and we hope that y’all had fun. Welcome to Doc Morton to West Point and hope to see you again.

Hope to see y’all next week with Pungo shooting on Saturday and Cavalier on Sunday.

Don’t forget that the “Gathering” is fast approaching.  If you haven’t, it’s time to get your money and application in to Whiskey Mae.

Have a great week.

Howdy All,

What a nice day for shooting!  It was a bit long with set up today also but that beat being in the cold and rain to do it yesterday.  How did we do this years ago when everything was stored up range and no tractor for bringing it down either.  We were younger, that’s all I can say!!

It was good to see everyone.  It was nice that Remo and Clementine stopped by during the shoot and had dinner with us.  We wish him well with his upcoming surgery and hope that he is back shooting soon.

Congrats to Cody Maverick for being the TopOverall Shooter.  Congrats to Flatboat, Kuba Kid, Kid At Heart, Will Sonnet, and Missouri Marshal for shooting CAD. We hope everyone enjoyed the match and had fun.

Mattaponi Sundowners will be shooting next Saturday, Feb. 24. The match will start at 1000.  We hope that y’all can join us.  More details and stages to come out later.

Enjoyed seeing everyone today.
