Summer 2016 Poplarville 3-Gun matches suspended
As a reminder to everyone, the 3-Gun matches in Poplarville are not held in June, July and August because of the heat. We resume 3-Gun matches in September. The monthly pistol matches are held all year round.
Swamp Eagles suspend future matches
As most everyone knows, Tom’s match (aka. Pearlington, Swamp Eagles, etc.) lost it’s home range in February of this year. For the past four months the match has been shot at the Poplarville range, and although a search is still underway for a new home, Tom has decided to suspend further matches. While the club is not going away just yet, Tom is also considering selling the entire match to anyone that is interested. This would include all the props and the rights to the USPSA club charter. If you or anyone you know is interesting that starting a club at your home range, please contact Tom directly.
Once a final decision has been made on the future of the Swamp Eagles, we’ll be sure to let everyone know. But, effective June 2016, the Swamp Eagles will not shoot.
May 2016 Pearlington (Swamp Eagles) pistol match results
Although the web master forgot to post the match notification this week, the turnout was actually pretty good, at least for as long as the match has been in Poplarville. We had 25 shooters come out today and they were treated unusually pleasant weather. The humidity was mild, as were the temperatures. So, the environment was ripe for a great performance.
At least a few shooters had a good match and their scores put them on top. The overall match winner was Read more…
May 2016 Poplarville pistol match results
Thanks, Mom! Thanks for letting your Son/Husband/Father/Sister/Daughter (fill in your appropriate relative) come shoot today. The typical Mother’s Day match is lightly attended, but today was different. We had 26 shooters out for fun in the Sun. There were 6 quick, but challenging stages, where the desire to go fast sometimes overcame good shooting judgment. I’d like to say everyone shot clean for Mom, but that wasn’t the case. Those that did, prospered. Those that didn’t suffered. Oh, yeah. The weather today was fantastic, too!
When the results were finally computed, there was a now-familiar name at the top. The overall winner and Open division winner was Read more…

April 2016 Pearlington (Swamp Eagles) pistol match results
The loss of our home range seems to be taking a toll on the match participation. For the second time, the Swamp Eagles shot at the Poplarville range and the turnout was quite modest. While we had a bunch of new shooters, which is great for the sport, the regular Swamp Eagles shooters numbered only about five. I guess the longer drive is just reason enough not to see more regulars.
In any event, the match today went off well. There were 18 shooters present, so the two squads moved along well. We were done before 12:30 and all picked up pretty much as we went. The stages were light on steel (4 pieces total) and lighter on no-shoots (2 total), and the actual courses were not overly demanding. This also helped the pace of shooting.
When the scores were done, the results looked like this. The overall winner and Open division winner was Read more…
