South Mississippi Practical Shooting

Thirty nine shooters came out for what was technically the last match of the summer at the Brothers N Arms club yesterday.  We got off to a bit of a foggy start, but before long the sun came out and let us know that it is, indeed, still summer, no matter what the calendar might say.  The six stages moved along nicely with a good round count, a fair amount of steel, and lots of movement.  Many thanks to our Match Director, Cliff Gaddis, for the hard work he puts into both the selection and setting up of our stages each month!

Limited was our largest division by a good margin and had four of the top five shooters in it’s ranks, including the top competitor overall, Read more…

The temperature rose fast and high this morning as 41 shooters came together for the Brothers N Arms Annual Special Classifier Match.  Thankfully, the stages moved quickly and the squads ran smoothly, with most were finishing up before noon.  We were very happy to have a good group of first time shooters take advantage of the classifier match.  Bringing new people to the sport is what keeps it alive and makes it great, so we hope to see all of you at another match very soon.  As always, we can’t thank our volunteers that helped with setup and all of the shooters that helped with take down enough.  We absolutely couldn’t make it happen without you!!

Now, on to the match results.   Read more…

Registration is open for the August 2017 USPSA Pistol Match at the Brothers N Arms Range in Hattiesburg. This month’s event will will be a Special Classifier Match with six USPSA sanctioned Classifier Stages

If you have been wanting to get that L10, Carry Optics, or PCC classification and you’re in a hurry, this is your chance.  If you would like to work on more than one classification, simply register separately in each class of interest and arrive with all equipment necessary to shoot each.  Of course, each registration requires it’s own fee and please limit yourself to two registrations.  The first registration will cost the normal $15 for MS17 chapter members and $20 for non-members.  The second registration fee will be $10, member or not.

Please note that checking in at the Range House is no longer necessary; though you should feel free to stop in for a cup of coffee or to use the rest room.  Simply park where you normally would on the range grounds and look for the registration table by the storage container.

Second, membership in the Brothers N Arms MS17 USPSA chapter itself is open now thru September to everyone for $25.00 annually.  This will allow the club access to capital that helps us keep equipment up to date and will give the paid member a $5 discount on match fees.  If you intend to shoot 5 or more matches at our club over the next 12 months, membership makes sense!

Setup starts at 7:00 am and 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. The match starts promptly at 9:00 am.  Click on the link below for the registration page.

The day dawned a bit foggy and very overcast, which actually kept the temps moderate and made for a great start for 38 shooters at today’s match.  Also, for the first time, we opened up membership to our USPSA chapter and we sincerely thank all who took advantage of the offer.  Your support is much appreciated and will make the club even better as we move forward!!

Even with all of the recent rain, the range conditions were more than acceptable.  The stages had a great combination of movement and round count and everyone loved the “Burn ’em Down” stage in bay 5.  At the end of the day, Open shooters ruled the day, taking 7 of the top 10 spots.  The match winner Read more…

Registration is open for the July 2017 USPSA Pistol Match at the Brothers N Arms Range in Hattiesburg. This month’s event will have at least 5 stages, including a classifier.

With a year as a USPSA sanctioned club under our belt, a couple of ways to more closely align our methods of operation with other area clubs have been decided on.  A couple of slight changes have been made so please take note!

In an effort to streamline the registration process, checking in at the Range House is no longer necessary; though you should feel free to stop in for a cup of coffee or to use the rest room.  Simply park where you normally would on the range grounds and look for the registration table by the storage container.

Second, membership in the Brothers N Arms MS17 USPSA chapter itself (I know, it’s a mouthful, we’re working on it) is now open to all for $40.00 annually.  This will allow the club access to capital that helps us keep equipment up to date and will give the paid member a $5 discount on match fees.  So, non-members shoot for $20, members shoot for $15, and Juniors shoot for $10.

Lastly, the match in August will be a Special Classifier match with at least 6 stages, each being a USPSA sanctioned Classifier Stage.  If you have been wanting to get that L10, Carry Optics, or PCC classification and you’re in a hurry, this is your chance.  If you would like to work on more than one classification, simply register separately in each class of interest and arrive with all equipment necessary to shoot each.  Of course, each registration requires it’s own fee and please limit yourself to two registrations for the match.

Setup starts at 7:00 am and 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. The match starts promptly at 9:00 am.

With great regret, the decision has been made to cancel this Saturday’s USPSA Pistol Match.  With the amount of rain we have received, the bays are simply too wet to be able to set up and actually holding the match would most likely result in significant damage to the facilities.  We appreciate everyone registering and we hope to see you next month.

Please note that our match is being moved to the third Saturday for the months of July, August, and September to help accommodate our friends in Biloxi holding the Section Championships through out the summer.
