Hello Cowboys & Cowgirls
 
The Cavalier Cowboys pulled off another great weather day today. With the fans and the shade on the left range, it really never felt that hot. We had nine shooters today and three CAD. That’s 33% folks. Those shooters were Myself, Timbuctwo Ranger and our newer shooter Bingo Montana. A special thank you to Smackwater for handling things until I could arrive from my Doctors appointment, Ripsaw for writing the match and not to forget thanks to all the guys there for all the work effort at the match today. Results are attached.
 
Thanks Again:

Hello Cowboys & Cowgirls
 
Sorry that I missed the match on Sunday but I was busy fending off other Silver Seniors at the state match. At no surprise,I hear everything went well and everyone had a good time. There were a few spectators yesterday and hopefully since I wasn’t there, they will come back. We had three clean shooters, Cockroach, Enid City Kid and Kuba Kid.
 
Thanks to everyone for running the match and doing the chores

Hello everyone
 
Our second Wednesday match is now in the books. Unfortunally, we had no clean shooters today. What we did have were nine people having fun. Thank you Virginia Red Head for shooting with us for the first time today. Hope it is not the last and a shout out to Lefty exercising his new retirement with us today.
Thanks guys for all the help.

Well I just got home from dinner. Salmon cakes, baked sweet potato and spoon bread, a truly southern boy meal. Now it’s time for some results. First of all,thanks for shooting with us today. The canopies and fans makes it all bearable. We had four clean shooters today, Lawman Mays, Lefty Spurmaker  Potter County Kid and myself. Everyone else is just SH out of LU. I would also like to send out a welcome to our new first match ever shooter, Bingo Montana. Everyone will start seeing him in the future if Cockroach didn’t scare him away. Also, a special thanks to Ripsaw for writing the match today and thanks to all for your help.

Hello All
 
We shot a fun match today. Mr. Ripsaw stopped by and helped keep score. It was really nice to see him and to hear how well his healing is progressing. Hopefully Greywolf and Remo are progressing as well as Ripsaw. Our thoughts are with you all. We had no clean shooters today, just fun.

Sorry for the late scores but I had to honey do after I got home. If we could only of had a little breeze today it would of helped. Despite the warm temperatures, I think the match went really well. We only managed to have two clean shooters though. Those two lucky people were Ms.One Eyed Jane and Mr.Lawman Mays. Was really nice to see some KC’s folks stop on buy.The picnic afterword’s was the icing on the cake.
Thanks to Smackwater and Windhorse Rider for cooking it up. Thank you to all that attended for your work effort with all the help you provided  that is needed at a match. If you can manage it, we will shoot again this Wednesday starting at noon. Scores are attached.
 
Until we meet again:

Because of the heat, this will be a relaxed dress or Cowboy Casual match.

Just bring ammo and appetite. A cover dish would also be appreciated.

Hello Everyone
 
What a great day to come out and play. Nice weather seems to elude us so enjoy it while you can. Ripsaw wrote a nice match for us today (not including stage 6) and the clean shooters came out of the woodwork. Enid City Kid, Judge NO Hart, Kuba Kid, Potter County Kid, Sassy Shooting Sours and myself shot Clean All Day. The next Cavalier match will be Wednesday June12, 2019 with first shot down range at high noon.
 
As always, thanks for all the help

Covid-19 and the Cavalier Cowboys

By /
The next Cavalier Cowboys Match will be on Sunday, June 7th, 2020.  Details on how our matches will operator under Social Distancing Rules will be communicated by email in the very near future.
 
 
 
Hello Cowboys and Cowgirls
 
The Cavalier Rifle and Pistol Club board of directors has approved the reopening of group matches starting on Saturday May 23. We will have to abide by social distancing rules and no more than 10 on a posse. Wearing of face protection is recommended but not required except for officers, TO’s who will need to be closer than 6 feet. I know everyone will do their part to have a safe and healthy match. Looking forward to throwing some lead down range with you all again.
 
Wash Your Hands:
Major BS Walker 
 
 
 
Today I received an email from the Cavalier Rifle and Pistol Club which reads;
In light of strong recommendations from the CDC and the President, the Cavalier Rifle and Pistol Club Board of Directors has voted to postpone all scheduled matches and meetings at Cavalier until further notice.  The Cavalier range remains open for individual members.
 
The Rivanna Shooting Club in Charlottesville has also enacted the same measures at their club. This means that the Cavalier Cowboys monthly and the Gunfight at the Double-C are a no go at this time. I will wait a month or so to see how we can reschedule for this year. If for some reason this doesn’t work out  then a  full refund or prepay for next years match will be done by your request. This is very disturbing news but also a no brainer because my friends health is far more important than a shooting match.
 
 
Your Friend and Pard
