Unless the weather forecast changes to severe weather (winds and/or thunderstorms) we will be shooting the match on Sunday.
During the next couple of months it is very likely that we will be encountering “hot” weather. To address the “hot” weather, we will be doing the following; setting up tents over the shooting positions, setting up tents over the posse area, setting up tents over the loading/unloading tables, running multiple fans in every shooting bay, providing ice cold drinking water and adjusting the cowboy dress code.
For every match in July and August we will send out an update 24 hours before the match with the plan for that match. This update will include the dress code for the given match. We are taking this 24 hour update approach, because the long range forecast are wrong more than they are right.
In addition, we will be adjusting the stages to help address the “hot” weather. Our approach is to design the stages such that they can be shot from cover and to minimize the number of props. However, the stages will continue to be fun and interesting to shoot.
The match itself will start shooting at 12:30 pm with the gates opening at 10:00, registration running from 10:30 till Noon, and the mandatory safety meeting at 12:00, Noon. The costs of the match is $15.00 for non members and $0.00 (free) for members of WPGC. Additional information is available on our web site at www.westpointgunclub.com.
Safe Travels,
