March 2015 3-Gun in Poplarville
On Sunday, March 1, 2015 the Poplarville club will host the regular 3-gun match. It looks like the weather might cut us a break for a change. Shooting starts at 9 AM, but please plan to arrive no later than 8:30. We can always use the help finishing up the setup tasks.
February 2015 Pearlington pistol match results
Mardi Gras season is upon us and it appeared that some of the regulars were at the parades today. It was a bit of a light turnout, with only 27 shooters today. That’s below the average but understandable given the season. Once again, though, the trip was worth it.
We tried something new today by NOT shooting a classifier and having 5 regular stages. It you liked this, or didn’t like this, please let us know. It didn’t mean many more shots for the match, but it did mean one new stage that no one has ever seen before.
It didn’t affect the scores and it certainly didn’t slow down the winner. High overall today went to Read more…
February 2015 Poplarville pistol match results
This was an interesting day today. February is always iffy on the weather, but it was great today. Not too hot, not too cold, sort of a Goldilocks day for weather. It was the turnout that was a bit surprising. We had the largest turnout since June 2010, with 34 shooters competing for the top spot. We had quite a few regulars, but also a first time ever shooter and quite a few first time for us shooters. The clubs thanks everyone who came out today to support us. Unfortunately, we hadn’t planned on the big numbers and it caused a few logjams.
As most of you know, our shooting bays don’t always allow all stages to be shot concurrently. Today brought that home with a exclamation point. Try as we might, we just couldn’t keep it going and several squads waited, and waited, waited. The last group finished after 2 PM, so it made for a long day, but thankfully, the weather was pleasant.
With the delayed finish, the results are just now being posted for most shooters. Our overall match winner was Read more…
February 3-gun match reminder in Poplarville
The match got cancelled but the weather tricked us. Fifteen minutes after we called it, the rain let up and was done for the day. Oh, well…
Tomorrow, we challenge the weatherman to a duel. Pistols, rifles and shotguns at 50 paces at sunrise! Well, sort of. The call for rain keeps moving back so it looks like we will at least get started dry. We may end up wet, but we have set up 4 stages that should be quick to shoot, quick to reset and quick to tear down so we can get done as soon as possible. Somebody even mentioned that there was some sort of sporting event on TV later on in the day, but it can’t compare with 3-gun at Poplarville. Hammer down at 9 AM…
January 2015 Pearlington pistol match results
The first match of the new year was well attended and well-weathered. It was a bit cool at 9 AM, but by the end of the match, it was short sleeve weather. With forty shooters and five great stages from the mind of Bob, we cruised to a smooth match and were done by just a little after Noon. Our fearless leader abandoned us for a cruise today, but it didn’t seem to affect anyone.
The overall winner and Open division winner was Read more…
January 2015 Poplarville pistol match results
The weather could have been a lot worse. It could have been cold, like Biloxi was yesterday, and it could have rained like it was predicted to do. But neither happened and we were done in record time. With five quick, but challenging stages, we zipped through the match and were done shooting by 11 AM. We had an even dozen shooters and the two squads moved quickly.
The results weren’t all that surprising, but there seems to be a pattern developing. With his second match win of the weekend,

The match has been cancelled due to the rain. The road is impassible. Don’t forget the pistol match next Sunday.
Well, the weather is probably going to do us in this month, but we have not yet called the match as of 1 PM. Please check back by 6 PM for the final update.

On Sunday night, the emails went out to those lucky enough to make it into the Classic or at least on the waiting list. There are some real unhappy campers down here on the coast, too. If you didn’t get an email this evening, you stand almost no chance of making it in. Read all about it here…
December 2014 Pearlington pistol match results
We ended up the 2014 shooting season with a bang today. Lots of them, actually. Thirty-five shooters came out to squeeze one more match in before the New Year. Thanks to five quick stages from Bob, we got done at a reasonably hour and were headed home shortly thereafter.
When the dust had settled, and the scores tallied, there was a familiar face at the top of the heap. The overall winner and Open division winner was Read more…
