WPGC Rimfire Steel Match Results for 07 FEB

/ By

Shooters!

Man the weather guessers at Weather Bug and the Weather Channel didn’t quite get it right.  What was supposed to be  slight chance of light showers starting at Noon and temperatures rising into the 50s turned out to be a moderate rain starting around 1030 and off and on for the rest of the day and relatively cool day.

But, we had a good day shooting with the usual bantering and fun despite the weather.  I want to thank Kidd at Heart (Bob Hall) for bringing his iPad and scoring software.  Sure made it nice.  

We had seven shooters to brave the weather and compete.  So attached are the scores.  Congrats to Don Fenton as the overall winner of the match and the OPEN Class.  Vaquero took the LIMITED Class and Beartooth excelled in the highly contested COWBOY Class  .

Our next match will be on WED, 07 MAR.  See you all then!

WPGC Rimfire Steel Match Announcement for WED, 07 FEB

/ By

Hello, Shooters!

Well, it’s been a great start to the year.  We had to cancel the first match of the year because it was so cold.  This WED, 07 FEB is the next scheduled match.  It looks like the temperatures will be a bit more seasonable; starting in the 30s to 40s and getting up to 50 by noon.  There is a 30% chance of light rain around noon.  So, it should not be too bad.

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.

Hope to see you all there!

Howdy All,

Attached are the scores for January 27, 2018.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall match winner.  Congrats to Lefty Spurmaker and Longhorn Louie for shooting CAD.  I hear that it was a pretty day for a match.  Sorry we weren’t there to enjoy it with you.  It’s windy and raining here but not as cold as it could be, at least rain not snow.  We missed all of y’all.

A very deep ‘THANK YOU’  for everyone’s help in setting up and running the match for us.  We knew we had a good group of people to count on to handle everything for us.

Next Saturday should be a match at Pungo and on Sunday at Cavalier.  We hope to be attending and to see everyone there.  We miss everyone.

Howdy All,

What a GREAT day, weather wise, for a shoot.  We were glad to see each and everyone of you today.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as Overall match winner. Congrats to One Eyed Jane, Prairie City Slim and Wistful McClintock for shooting CAD.  There’s something fishy in Mattaponi when the husband and wife team plus being the match writer, both shoot CAD.

Mattaponi Sundowners will have a match next Saturday, January 27, 2018.  The gates will open at 8:00, safety meeting at 9:30 and shooting at 10:00. 

As those that were at the match know and for those who couldn’t make; Potter’s Mom passed away last night and her funeral will be Wednesday in PA.  We will be leaving early in the morning for PA.  Also Cody Maverick’s brother is on ventilator support with COPD and pneumonia in NC.  Please keep these families in your prayers.  Potter and Sassy will miss Saturday’s match but there will be plenty of good people there to run it and make it fun.

Hope to see y’all soon.

Rimfire Steel: Cancellation of WPGC Rimfire Steel Match for WED, 03 JAN 2018

/ By

Hello, Shooters!

I hope everyone has had a great and Blessed Christmas and I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

I’ve been trying to stay warm for the last week with some success by staying inside most of the time.  It doesn’t look any better for WED, 06 JAN.  The temperature is not forecasted to reach 30 Degrees until Noon and the “feels like” temperature is forecasted to be 26 degrees.  Realizing that weather guessing is an inexact science, I would say that the temperature trends this week is a good indicator that it will probably be cold enough to make it uncomfortable to shoot (at least for me).

With all that said, I am cancelling the match for WED, 03 JAN.  The next schedule match is for 07 FEB.  Hopefully it will be warm enough to shoot.  

Regards to all!!
