Fall doesn’t officially start until September 23, and you could certainly tell by the temperature at today’s match!  Forty folks braved heat indexes over 100 degrees to come out to shoot six fun and challenging stages.  Hats off to Justin Green for once again putting together a great mix of stages.  Thanks also to everyone that helped with setup and tear down, none of this would happen without you!  On to the scores.

The Dupuy brothers made their return after a summer off from our match, and did so very impressively.  Both placed decisively in the top five overall, but the day belonged to  Read more…

Registration is open for the September USPSA Pistol Match at the Brothers N Arms Range in Hattiesburg  this Saturday, September 15th. We will have six stages including a classifier.  Given all that is happening in the Atlantic and Caribbean, we are obviously keeping a close eye on the weather and will provide updates of any changes to our schedule.

Well, like the man said, sometimes you just get lucky.  The morning in Hattiesburg was foggy and over cast.  Thunderstorms in other parts of south Mississippi caused some shooters to withdraw (you know who ya’ll are…I think you just wanted an excuse to stay in bed).  Less than an hour after the match was over, the rain began in Hattiesburg and continues even as I write this.  Today’s special classifier match, however, went off without a hitch from the weather, a rarity this year for the clubs in our area.

We had 45 guns at the range today to shoot six fairly challenging Classifiers.  Things moved quickly, both during the match and with breakdown.  This type of match is quick to shoot, but takes extra effort to set up correctly, so many, many thanks for the help with setup this morning.

When all was said and done, today’s overall winner was very clear. Read more…

Having received a few questions about the weather, I thought I would let everyone know that tomorrow’s match is still on.   Should we get heavy weather overnight or if the forecast for tomorrow morning should change for the worse, we will do our best to send out a notification via this blog by 6:00 am tomorrow morning.  The range has received no rain to speak of and is in great shape.  In the event that it does rain after the match has started, we will shoot as long as pasters will stick to the targets and as long as it is safe.  Like the man said, scared money don’t win! See ya’ll in the morning.

If you are a current member of the Brothers N Arms USPSA Chapter, your membership will be up for renewal next month.  If you’re not a member of the chapter, this is your chance to become one for the next 12 months.  Paying a $25 annual membership fee will reduce your match fee from $20 to $15.  If you’re going to shoot this match more than 5 times over the next year, it’s a no-brainer – just bring a total of $40 to next month’s match, $25 to join or renew and $15 for the match fee.  See you at the match!

Registration is open for the August USPSA Pistol Match at the Brothers N Arms Range in Hattiesburg  this Saturday, August 18th. This month’s will be a “Special All Classifier” match where we plan to have six classifier stages.  This will give new shooters a chance to get a classification all in one day.  If you’re an experienced shooter looking to get a classification in a new division or to move up in your current division, this is a great chance to do so without having to shoot six matches.

Primary setup will take place this Wednesday and Thursday afternoons.  If you are available to help, please reach out to Justin Greene with Brothers N Arms for details.  Final setup starts at 7:00 am Saturday morning and all hands are welcome to help speed up the process.  Registration/check-in ends at 8:30 am.  No walk-ons after 8:30, no exceptions.  There will be a new shooters meeting at 8:30 and a mandatory safety meeting at 8:45.
