Hi All,
Well the seven brave or maybe not so brave souls that turned out in the heat for the double action match had a good time.
Congrats to Nutmegger as the only clean shooter in the main match competition, Congrats to Beartooth as the main match winner. Also, congrats to Red for taking first place in the J Frame stage and the 1911 stage.

Cowboys & Cowgirls,
We are holding a 5th Saturday cowboy match, this Saturday, July 30th, at the West Point Gun Club.
Since the weather forecast for Saturday looks to be very similar to this past Saturday, we are going to use the same strategy…
– Setup/Shoot in only one bay, shoot 3 stages then reset targets and shoot 3 more stages
– Have tents over the firing line, posse areas, loading/unloading tables
– Have fans setup throughout the shooting area
– Provide plenty of ice cold water
– Dress code, “Cowboy Casual”
I will send out the final match update on Friday morning with the GO, NO GO decision.
The stages have been written by myself and are attached in MS Word and PDF formats. We were going to have the debut match authoring of one Cody Maverick but his match is better suited for two bays so we will use it a little later in the year when the weather is cooler.

Cowboys & Cowgirls,
If we could just figure out a way to tear down a match under the shade of tents with the fans running, then we would have this heat thing completely figured out.
Because today when you were under the tents with all of the fans running, it was very comfortable but when you stepped out in the sun, you felt like a rotisserie chicken being slow roasted.
The Mattaponi Sundowners held their monthly 4th Saturday match today at the West Point Gun Club.
Congratulations to Cody Maverick as the Top Overall Shooter. Congratulations to Frontier Mick, Major BS Walker, Smackwater and Will Sonnet as our Clean All Day Shooters.

Cowboys & Cowgirls,
The Mattaponi Sundowners match for Saturday, July 23rd is a GO.
Here is the plan….
Dress Code is “Cowboy Casual”, see ( http://www.cavaliercowboys.org/2013/07/what-is-cowboy-casual/ ) for details.
We will only be using one shooting bay and shoot only one posse. The reason for this is that it is less work to reset the targets between stages 3 and 4, than it is to setup two entire bays of targets, props and tents. So, we will shoot stages 1 thru 3, take a short break while we reset targets and then shoot stages 4 thru 6.
There will be tents setup over the firing line, over the posse area, over the loading/unloading tables and we will have the fans going, very similar to what we did this past Sunday.
We will have plenty of ice water for drinking but also encourage everyone to bring their own favorite sport drinks.
We ask that every shooter evaluate their own situation and take into count the weather forecast and any heat advisories in order to make the decision that is best for them.
Safe Travels,
Striker
Cowboys & Cowgirls,
The Mattaponi Sundowners are hoping to shoot our 4th Saturday match, this Saturday, July 23rd, 2016, at the West Point Gun Club.
The current forecast for Saturday is “HOT”, probably too hot to shoot in even with tents and fans. However, a lot of things can change and as we all know the long range forecasts are wrong more than they are right.
So, I will be sending out an update on Friday morning with the official GO or NO GO decision.
Assuming we are shooting….
The stages have been written by Sassy Shooting Sours and are attached in MS Word and PDF formats.
