South Mississippi Practical Shooting

Due to scheduling conflicts, this months match at Brothers N Arms has unfortunately been cancelled.  Apologies to those that have already registered!

Due to both the current and anticipated weather related range conditions, this Saturday’s match has been cancelled.  It has been brought to my attention that there is a rimfire challenge match already scheduled for the 5th Saturday.  See you in April!

What started out as a fairly dreary morning turned out to be a really nice day for a pistol match, even if we did have to wade in some mud on a few stages.  Turn out was good, with 41 folks coming out, and Justin came through again with five great stages that had multiple solutions and made every shooter have to think.  Thanks again to those who were able to get there early enough to help Cliff and I with final set up.  We can’t tell you enough how much your efforts are appreciated!

At the end of the day, there were some familiar names at the top of the scoreboard, but the top shooter let no doubt about the who the winner was. Read more…

Just a quick note to let everyone know that tomorrows math is still on.  While we have had a bit of dreary, misty, drizzly day, the range is still in good shape.  I look forward to seeing you all there!

Registration is open for the February USPSA Match at the Brothers N Arms Range in Hattiesburg  this Saturday, February 16th. We will have at least five stages including a classifier.

The match starts promptly at 9:00 am.

Looks like its gonna rain.  A lot.  The January Brothers N Arms USPSA match is cancelled.

Dammit boy, this was a wet year!  Hopefully, 2019 will have a little more sunshine on the weekends.  A year ago, with the rain that we had this week, today’s match would have had to be cancelled.  Thanks to the constant work and maintenance of our range owners, such was not the case today.  Thirty-four shooters were able to enjoy moderate temps under overcast skies and it was only muddy in the paces where it was wet.  😀  Joking aside, the Green family has worked very hard to try to continuously improve their facilities and those efforts are really starting to pay dividends.

As you know this is a volunteer sport and I continue to be impressed with our local competitors in this regard.  We had tons of help with final setup this morning ( you have no idea how much this appreciated) and tear down today was incredibly fast.  A special shout out to Squad Three.  They finished first and not only broke down their last stage, but the the stage next to them as well.  This kind of effort is invaluable when you have six stages but only four squads.  Thank you!

The top five spots were dominated by Open and Limited shooters, but the top dog today was Read more…
