The rain held off and the temperatures stayed cool for the 49 competitors that came out for today’s match.  We ran six stages, including a classifier, that all required a great mixture of strategy, speed, and accuracy.  A huge thank you goes out the the Dupuy family for all of the help with set up, and specifically to Blayne and Bryce for designing and building the two stages that most people seemed to enjoy the most.  These two young men are outstanding examples of what makes this sport great!  On to the results!

Open shooters ruled the day, taking the four of the top five spots,   Read more…

I have been made aware that the combination of the first Sunday in October also being the first day in October and my having sent the match reminder a week earlier than usual has caused some confusion.  So, for clarity’s sake, the Brothers N Arms USPSA October Pistol Match is on October 21st, the third Saturday, NOT this coming Saturday, October 14th.  For all of you that have registered, you are good to go, there is nothing for you to do. If, however, you thought you were registering for a match on the 14th and cannot make it on the 21st, just send me a withdrawal notice.

I’m very sorry for any confusion, let me know if you have any questions!

As many of you will remember, the Hattiesburg USPSA Club moved it’s match date temporarily from the fourth Saturday to the third Saturday of each month back in July.  This was done in an effort to accommodate the State Championship matches that were scheduled for the fourth Sunday in Biloxi  through the month of September.  Throughout that time period, the Club received so much positive feedback and so many requests from competitors to keep the third Saturday match date that it was decided a couple of weeks ago that making the change permanent had to be given proper consideration.

The decision process involved looking at what would be best for our competitors, the Hattiesburg Club, the relevant clubs in the Mississippi section, as well as for USPSA clubs in neighboring states.  After much discussion and deliberation, the decision has been made to make the change permanent.  This conclusion was reached with the knowledge that there could/would be negative consequences for some and for that you have our true and sincere apologies.  At the end of the day,  however, it appears that the advantages of making the change will outweigh the negatives for the vast majority of those involved.  Like the man said, you can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.

So, I said all of that to say, we look forward to seeing you on the third Saturday of the month!  October’s match will be on the 21st and will be a great chance to warm up for the Louisiana Gator Classic that will held on October 28-29.  The remainder of the year’s matches will be updated in Practiscore shortly.

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.
