South Mississippi Practical Shooting

Due to the overwhelming response and huge registration numbers for the initial state championship matches for Revolver, Single Stack, PCC, L10, and Carry Optics, we have decided to increase capacity and expand the number of days for the Open, Limited, and Production matches to meet this ever increasing demand.

In addition, we have secured some very generous title sponsorships and prizes and will be changing the names of two of the matches as a result.

The 2017 Mississippi Production State Championship will be held June 24-25th, 2017. It will be shot in one day, with either a Saturday or Sunday option. The match will be limited to 120 competitors. More information will be released with the official match announcement on February 28th.

The 2017 CK Arms Mississippi Open State Championship will be held July 22-23rd, 2017. It will also be a one day match with the option to shoot on Saturday or Sunday. The match will be limited to 120 competitors. More information will be released with the official match announcement on March 28th.

The 2017 Freedom Gunworks Mississippi Limited State Championship will be held September 23-24th, 2017. It will also be a one day match with the option to shoot on Saturday or Sunday. The match will be limited to 120 competitors. More information will be released with the official match announcement on May 30th.

We want to thank everyone for the amazing support, both the competitors and our sponsors.

See you at the matches!

Had a great turnout for today’s classifier match, despite the threat of rain this morning. The AM schedule got off to a rainy and windy start, with us having to replace the targets after a storm or two went through. The PM schedule of course went off without a hitch and we were done in about 3 hours. We also had some tasty pizza and cold drinks in between.

This was the first time we tried 8 stages, and the first time we tried AM/PM schedules for a local match. It made for nice squad sizes of 7 or 8 and kept things moving. Of course if you shot both schedules and packed in 16 stages it made for a long day!

We also had our first junior clinic, which was well attended and a big thanks to Gerwin Henn for staying around for an hour or two to pass his knowledge on to the juniors. Look forward to having these frequently in the future. If you have or know a junior looking to get into the sport, bring them to one of these!

Now, on to the action!

Stage 1 was Disaster Factor. Gerwin Henn came up tops with his 1911 in Single Stack with a 7.07 run with 53 points, and Al Prieto was right on his tail in Open with an 8.35 second run and 57 points.

Stage 2 was More Disaster Factor, and Gerwin was tops on this one with his L10 rig, followed by himself again with the Single Stack. The top shooter here not named Henn was Gerald Patch in Open.

Stage 3 was Times Two, and it was again won by Gerwin Henn in Single Stack, followed closely by Thomas Arthur in Limited.

Stage 4 was El Prez, won by Steven Mosher in Limited with Roger Henn .03 points behind with his L10 rig.

Stage 5 was the Roscoe Rattle and it was topped by Thomas Arthur in limited with a smoking 10.1485 hit Factor.

Stage 6 High Standards which required some sho/who shooting and you can tell who is ambidextrous as Steven Mosher took 1st and 2nd here in production and limited. Gerwin Henn in SS was a distant third.

Stage 7 was mini mart, and Steve Tannetta burned this one down with a 9.5868 hit Factor. Pro Tip: Don’t rob the Tannetta Mini Mart.

Stage 8 was Fluffys Revenge 2, this was the only Steel out there today, and Steve Tannetta had this figured out as he won 1st and 2nd handily with his L10 and Limited rigs.

Overall Results:
Herman Cox won Carry optics.
Steven Mosher won Limited and Production.
David Pape won L10.
Bill Jackson won Open.
Bryant Willett won PCC.
Gerald Benton won Revolver.
Gerwin Henn won Single Stack.

Want to thank everyone who came out and shot, pasted, helped run squads, and tore down. It really is a team effort. Especially appreciate everyone’s patience during the storm and in helping get the sandbags out and targets out back up. And of course huge thanks to those who come out at 6am and setup stages, without them none of this would be possible.

See you at the next match!

The weatherman turned out to be right today and the pending rain held off this morning to give the 41 shooters who turned out for the BPSA Rimfire Challenge a chance to run the four stages and be wrapped up by noon before the rain showed up. Also really excited to see 12 of those entries were junior shooters.

Now onto the action:

Stage 1 was a fast paced tight array with three 18×24 plates across at 8 yards, with a 10 and 12 inch plate on the second level at 13 yards. Bryant Willett broke the sound barrier here with a 7.83 run in open rifle, and Blayne Dupuy was right behind him at 8.00 seconds.

Stage 2 was six plates straight across at 9 yards deep, alternating between 12 inch plate and 18×24 square with the stop plate in the middle. Stage winner was Bryce Dupuy with a 10.18 open rifle run and his brother Blayne right behind him with his limited rifle at 10.27 seconds.

Stage 3 was an “M” shaped array with two 10 inch, two 12 inch, and a 18×24 square. The killer B’s ran the table on this one with Bryant Willett taking the stage win at 11.36, with Blayne and Bruce Dupuy right behind at 12.04 and 12.40.

Stage 4 had two 10 inch plates at 10 yards to the left, and 18×24 square up the middle, and two 12 inch plates to the right, one of them being the stop plate at 16 yards. Bryant Willett won the stage here, having the only sub-12 second time and doing it twice, once with open pistol and once with open rifle.

Final results:

Limited Pistol – Blayne Dupuy
Limited Rifle – Blayne Dupuy
Open Pistol – Bryant Willett
Open Rifle – Bryant Willett
