Mattaponi Sundowners: match results 12-17-17

Howdy All,

Well today started out nice with sunshine and warm but things quickly turned when the clouds rolled in.  We finished late in the day but it was nice to be with everyone and to shoot a match together.

Congrats to Cody Maverick as overall winner and to Flatboat Bob, Prairie City Slim, One Eyed Jane and Swifty McDraw for shooting CAD.

We had a GREAT time at Nick’s and the gift exchange.

We missed several of our friends and fellow cowboys and cowgirls.  We hope all is well with everyone.

We want to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Stay safe as you travel and celebrate with family and friends.

Hope to see everyone in 2018.

Sassy and Potter

    – 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.

Update on Shoot For A Cure

Howdy All,

Just wanted to give y’all a final update on the Shoot For A Cure match.  With the Peppermill Creek Gang, Wistful selling more goods and money donated at Range Wars, our GRAND TOTAL IS $6345.  WOW!!!!!  You Cowboys and Cowgirls are AWESOME!!!!  THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR DONATIONS AND SUPPORT!!!!  They is nothing else to say, YOU ARE GREAT BEYOND BELIEF!!!

Loco Linda also wanted me to pass along a message from her.  She was sorry that she couldn’t make the match this year and wanted to say, “THANK YOU” for the cards and prayers.  She really appreciated it.  Please keep her and Ramblin Royce in your prayers and if you get a chance please send her a card.

I’m sorry that this isn’t more upbeat but I learned on my way home from Range Wars that my nephew from my first marriage died today. He was 41 and leaves behind 3 children from 19 to 7 years old.  My heart is broken.

THANK YOU, AGAIN.

Mattaponi Sundowners: Shoot For A Cure match results

Howdy All,

I just wanted to THANK YOU, each and everyone of you again; not for just coming (which was great) but for giving from the bottom of your hearts.  The “SHOOT FOR A CURE” match was a GREAT success, thanks to y’all.  We raised and donated $5620.  This may not be our bottom total because  Wistful is taking some “do rags” to the ship yard to sell.  I will send out the grand total as soon as I know it.  Y’all are so GREAT!!!  You never stop amazing me.  It really shows that so such can be done with so few.  42 shooters and that much money, even our waitress at Nick’s donated!!.

I would like to give a special THANKS to  the following people that worked so hard to help me make this a success:

Inita Shoot
Wistful McClintock
Quilla Star
Mrs. Flatboat
Arizona Ansie
Ricochet

I can’t say enough for the wonderful help that was given to me.  THANK YOU!!

Please take the time to send Loco Linda and Ramblin Royce a card and prayer. Send to: Loco Linda

WE WILL BEAT CANCER, SOONER THAN LATER, THANKS TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU ALL.

Thank you again and I hope everyone receives a blessing from this.
