June 2015 Pearlington (Swamp Eagles) pistol match results
Hot didn’t begin to describe the weather today. Unless you want to talk about the humidity. Let’s just say it was survival of the fittest. It was Father’s Day and the turnout was pretty darn good. We had 48 shooters competing and because of the setup and squad size, we moved along pretty well. Most shooters were done by 12:30, even with 6 stages making the match longer than normal.

The score sheet link has been correctly repointed to the May match. Sorry…
It was the first Sunday and not the third, and there was competition in Poplarville with their 3-gun, but the Swamp Eagles managed to get 31 shooters to come out for the match. Since our usual third Sunday will be taken up by the Mississippi Classic, we move the May match to the first Sunday.
The weather was great and the shooting was spirited, too. We had a few new shooters and a new face at the top of the leader board when it was all said and done. The overall match and Limited division winner was Read more…

The match scores have been fixed and the final results are posted. The mix-up occurred when one of the squads recorded several of their stages on the wrong stage. Anyway, it has been fixed and the results are only slightly changed from the scores distributed at the match.
The turnout was good with sixteen shooter overall. The weather was the star of the day with clear skies finally gracing match day. We had several new shooters and they did great. We also want to thank the shooters who renewed their membership to the club. Your membership is the only reason we can continue to shoot. We really appreciate your financial support.
Our overall winner was someone new to the podium. Without winning a single stage, but shooting consistently enough to take the top spot, the honors go to Read more…

The match is done, but it will be a day or so before I get he scores posted. Due to the Poplarville 3-gun match and the issues with that, it will be a while before I get Pearlington posted. Check back in a day or so.

We discovered a problem with the scores. Squad 1 accidentally recorded 3 of the 4 stages on the wrong stages in the scoring computer. I think I figured out what happened, but it will take a while to fix it. So, please check back later for the real results.

**UPDATE** Many of the regular setup crew will not be able to show up on Saturday before the match so we are looking for extra help on Saturday afternoon to get the stages built. If you can assist with setup, your match is paid for by Tom, so you shoot for free! This is like earning $15 for just a couple of hours work. If you can help, please call Tom at 504-458-0093.
If no one is able to help with setup, there is a possibility the match could be cancelled. Please check here before coming out on Sunday morning, just in case.
