Hey Pards,
I’ve got a few things to cover this time…
First I want to remind everyone that we are shooting this weekend. Cowboy on Saturday, and Wild Bunch on Sunday. If you are able to come play please send me an email with your alias and category. Remember to bring your own pen and exact change. With Covid numbers rising we need to be extra vigilant about distancing, hand washing and trying not to touch more surfaces than you have to. Wear masks if you’re more comfortable when on the range.
I will also start accepting dues for Two Rivers Posse 2021 membership this weekend. We are keeping the fee schedule the same as it has been – $25 for individuals, and $40 for families. The monthly shoots are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. It doesn’t take long for that to pay off. Again – exact change please or a check made out to MSI will be fine.
As many of you already know, Rum Walker and I are resigning as match directors at the end of the year. We’ve been doing it for 8 years now and it’s been a good run but it’s time for fresh horses. We’re passing off the reins. Sintree Tulait has graciously stepped up to take over for the cowboy matches, as has Wolf Taylor for the wild bunch matches. Dragon will remain club president. We’ll still be around to help out and I’m sure the transition will go smooth. I’m sure they’d both appreciate whatever help can be offered if you think of a way you might be able to step up and give a hand.
Last.. Manteca Sportsmen was supposed to hold it’s regular monthly membership meeting tomorrow night with the elections for the club officers and board members. Due to Covid we can’t have that large a group meeting indoors so it has been rescheduled for Sunday January 3rd at 11am on the grass outside the old clubhouse. If you’re a MSI member please plan to attend and vote.
That’s all for now folks. Hope to see ya soon.

Two Rivers Posse – Nov. 22, 2020
Howdy all,
Here are the scores from yesterday’s match. Sorry for the delay in getting them out, Rum and I were up at Sac Valley Shooting Center for the Ca State Wild Bunch championship
(great match, if you get a chance you should try to attend next year).
Congrats to J.W. Trader who was the top shooter, and to Sintree Tulait and Shenandoah for shooting the match clean. Our next cowboy match will be Saturday Dec 5th.
I hope everyone has a nice and safe Thanksgiving.

Double-Action Revolver Match – Nov. 21, 2020
Wild Bunch – Nov. 8, 2020
Hi cowboys and cowgirls,
Well it was quite the windy day at the range. We had to cinch down our hats and anchor all the rugs and saddle blankets. Except for a bit of grit in our smiles, we had a fun day. Congrats to Southpaw Gringo who was our top shooter for the day. None of us managed a clean match although Southpaw and Shenandoah came real close. Our next Wild Bunch match will be Sunday Dec 6th. Hope to see ya then.

Two Rivers Posse – Oct. 25, 2020
Howdy all,
Thanks to all the folks who came and joined us at the range today. It was sure nice to have the cooler weather, it actually felt like fall. Congrats to Deadeye Maverick who was the overall winner and Not So Deadeye Maverick who was the top lady shooter. They were visiting from S. Ca and joined us for our match.
Clean match pins went to Rum Walker, Southpaw Gringo, Dragon, Twisted Dog, and Two Dogs Grant. Good shooting guys.
Our next cowboy match will be Sat Nov 7th and wild bunch will be on the 8th.
Don’t forget to vote !!
On that note, elections for Manteca Sportsmen Inc officers and board of directors is also on Dec 1st at the general meeting. The meeting starts at 730 at the main clubhouse. Those of you who are MSI members should plan to attend and vote. We currently have 2 cowboy shooters on the board and doing a great job. They also are active in other areas of the club. We would like to see them continue in their positions. It’s great to have our venue represented on the board.
Hope to see ya out on the range soon.

For now the dinner is cancelled.
