Work day reminder **Cancelled**
The work day scheduled for Saturday, February 18, 2012 has been cancelled due the weather. We are not rescheduling the work day at this time.
This Saturday, February 18, we will be at the range to clean up the place and regrade the shooting bays (thanks to Gerald). Works will start around 9 AM and probably last until mid-afternoon. If you can make it, bring gloves, trash bags, leaf rakes and something to eat. We will not be shooting, so please don’t expect to practice, at least this Saturday.
Right now, there is a 70% chance of rain on Saturday, so please check back here before coming out. We will post the status of the work day before 8 AM on Saturday morning.
February 2012 SMPSA rifle match results
The rifle match was a quickie today, because we had just 5 shooters. We shot three of the pistol stages from the USPSA match (minus the steel) and were done in probably 30 minutes. Our match winner was Wayne Alcock, mostly due to his quick work in the pistol classifier (and the fact that he shot a major gun).
The results are here.
February 2012 SMPSA pistol match results
The match scores have been updated to reflect a mistake in the classifier score for Bo Gray. The match results did not change in Production division, but the percentages did.
If you wussed out and didn’t show up because it was “too cold”, you should be ashamed. It was a bit breezy, but by the time the Sun came up, it had warmed up to almost 40° and by the time the match ended, it was 50°. We did have 17 shooters who did think it would be worth it and we had a great match. We shot 5 stages, with lots of steel and the new MGM Whirly-Gig target (aka: Texas Star).
Things went pretty smoothly with no real hiccups in the stages or the scores. There were no bottlenecks or DQ’s. So, it was a great day. Let’s get to the results. Read more…
Poplarville match tomorrow
Poplarville will host the monthly USPSA pistol match and afternoon rifle match on February 12, 2012. The weather will be chilly, so dress warmly.
February 2012 SMPSA 3-gun match results
The results are in! We had 13 shooters today (on SuperBowl Sunday) competing over 4 tough stages. The weather was a bit iffy in the morning, and the drive up the hill was a challenge for the early birds, but everyone made it in OK. It ended up a pretty nice day, weather-wise, too.
Before the scores, a brief explanation of the scoring. Each stage is scored by raw time plus penalty time. The shooter with the lowest total time is awarded 100 stage points. Every other shooter earns a percentage of the 100 points based on their performance, compared to the top shooter. The shooter’s total time is divided into the top shooter’s total time to get a percentage of the total available points.
The results aren’t too much of a surprise, but it was close. Read more…
February 3-gun match notification
Sunday, February 5, 2012, we will hold our monthly 3-gun match (weather permitting). Because it is on SuperBowl Sunday, we will try to be done at a reasonable hour, for you die-hard football fans. We will have many new props out for the first time, so be prepared. Bring plenty of all three types of ammo.
Pearlington match Sunday
Welcome to the new web site. I am looking forward to keeping shooters informed as to what is going on for the Pearlington match. I plan on having
- Absolutely gorgeous weather
- Five stages
The classifier will be 99-08 Melody Line. Set up will be Saturday afternoon at 2:30pm, anybody that wants to help will be much appreciated. Also, anybody with any stage ideas would be a great help. I have been running this match since August of 1996, and I am running out of ideas. Please send me your thoughts on some stages, or just come help set up what you want. Hammer down @ 9am Sunday January 15th, hope to see you all there.
