South Mississippi Practical Shooting

The last 3-Gun match we shot in May set a modern day record with 25 shooters. Today was a bit of a different story. With the holiday weekend, we barely had half that. Whatever the reason, thirteen folks made it out to shoot with us in the slightly less woodsey woods of Poplarville. If you haven’t been out to the range in a while, it looks different. The loggers have been hard at it, opening up the areas outside of the main pit, and have continued their work, even since the last pistol match just a few weeks ago.

Anyway, it has offered some new opportunities for 3-Gun that just didn’t exist before. We did lose some props to the indiscriminate destruction of the woods but we’ll just rebuild that stuff.

The match today featured 4 stages, with 2 of them being shot in areas that just didn’t exist before, so it was fun, for at least most of us. When the dust settled, the overall match winner was Kevin Leonhardt, who shot fast and (almost) clean to win by slightly more than 3% over Justin Myers. In fact, only one shooters managed to shoot with no penalties today. Congratulations to Wayne Alcock for winning the penalty battle.

Thank you to everyone for coming out today and supporting our club. We look forward to another successful 3-Gun season, especially with the weather finally getting a little cooler.
