South Mississippi Practical Shooting

Father’s Day. That one day of the year when we are supposed to get to do what we want. For a few of us, it was shooting. Twenty-five guys came to play and with the setup gods smiling, we were finished shooting by 11:40 AM and packed up by Noon. That was good, because it got a little warm today. Because of the heat, we shot only four stages, but three were 32 rounders with quick action and just a tad of challenge. Well, make that more than a tad of challenge. Close targets and lurking no-shoots tempted fate once too often.

There were no surprises on the leader board today. The overall winner and Open division winner was…Max Michel. Interestingly, Open didn’t have a significant advantage today because of the mostly close targets, but Max still bested everyone else by a full 10%. Capturing the second spot overall was Gerwin Henn, who took Limited by his own 10%. Michael McDonald easily captured Production, although he claimed he sucked today. In fact, he beat 67% of the Open shooters. In Revolver, Kerry Bailey beat our newest wheelgunner, Sean Benton, and Randy Havard won Single Stack.
