South Mississippi Practical Shooting

Aside from someone forgetting to tell the weatherman that Summer is supposed to be pretty much done, it was a great match today. It was hotter than normal for this time of the year but we had 39 shooters with a pretty good mix in the divisions. Today was a go-fast day with lots of stages where you just needed to squeeze the trigger, fast and often. If your gun or ammo didn’t work perfectly and you couldn’t execute perfect reloads, then it was not your day. Four of the five stages were won with a hit factors of 10.0, 12.5, 10.5 and 11.5. Only the classifier was under 10. If you saw the front sight a lot, then you were probably too slow.

The overall winner took the match by a reasonably comfortable amount, but after that, they bunched up pretty well. The Overall match winner was Robert Jones who also won Limited. In Open, Bill Jackson beat the rest of the field and took second overall. Steve Lasavia was fourth overall and first in Single Stack. Once again, Production was highly competitive where Steven Mosher managed the most consistency and therefore won that division. And finally, Gerald won Revolver.

As always, your match staff appreciates the help in match setup and tear-down. We couldn’t do it without you. Next month, we are back to the normal schedule with Biloxi the day before Poplarville and Pearlington a week later.
