April 2013 Pearlington pistol match results
The match today was a huge success. There were 42 shooters, 6 stages and great weather. What could be better (besides a few times and hits)? Actually, not much. Things ran smoothly and we finished at a reasonable hour. We had lots of help to pick up the stages, too, which is always appreciated.
In the results category, there are lots of them! First overall in the match goes to… Read more…

Poplarville news
In case you didn’t read the match story from last month, the club voted to increase the match fee from $13 to $15 for members and $18 to $20 for non-members. Annual memberships go from $25 to $35 per year. This is due to increases in our rent and insurance expenses.
We hope our shooters understand our need to raise the fees. It certainly isn’t the best time with the cost of gas at an all-time high, ammo either outrageously overpriced or just plain unavailable, but we just don’t have a choice. We need an average of 14 shooters every month just to break even , so everything is working against us. But we remain confident that we offer one of the most unique shooting experiences anywhere in the South.
Also, the gate is now locked again. When you renew your membership ask for a new key if you want to use the range on non-match days.
April 2013 Poplarville 3-Gun match results
For such a nice day, it seemed no one wanted to shoot or could afford to. We only had 6 shooters make it out today, but that did not mean the match wasn’t top-notch. We shot four great stages, from quick quick quick, to long-range rifle with shotgun as a warm-up. You needed to be consistent today to score well and number one in consistent was… Read more…
March 2013 Poplarville pistol match results
It seems like we are always facing some challenge when we shoot in Poplarville. Today, the wind that was the culprit. It blew at 15-25 mph pretty much all day and made the idea of moving targets too much of a reality. Steel fell, paper target stands toppled and reshoots were issued, but in the end, we got it done. We had a great turnout, with 21 shooters entering the fray. Our 5 stages tested the shooter’s skills in many ways. There was ample opportunity to excel, yet many took the challenge to new lows. But someone always has to win and today, that winner was… Read more…
