We had great weather and a great turnout for this month’s 3-gun match with 24 shooters. We had several new shooters and a few seasoned ones that are new to the range.

Stage 1 was on the rifle range and used all three guns, and got your heart rate up a little before having to engage the rifle steel from a barricade. Several shooters chose to engage left handed from the barricade while many others chose to contort their bodies into a position they could still shoot strong side. Kevin Leonhardt took the stage win with 42 seconds, Wade Wilson was right behind him at 43 seconds, Ivan Deroche set the pace for the limited shooters at 47 seconds.

Stage 2 was a short, technical stand and deliver that had shooters choosing their two guns and forced some mandatory reloads. A surprising number of folks chose the rifle for paper, thinking they could reload it faster than pistol, and it just didn’t seem to work out for them. Hank Coates took the stage win with a 12 second run, Kevin Leonhardt was right behind him at 14 seconds followed by Steve White with 15 seconds.

Stage 3 was another stand and deliver with an added twist of having the drop Turner and mandatory pistol reload between arrays. Jeret Howard took the stage win here at 16 seconds with Steve Mosher right behind at 17 seconds.

Stage 4 was a large field course that combined shotgun and rifle, and really separated the men from the boys as it required shotgun reloads. Hank Coates took the stage win with a 29 second run, Steve White and Joe Jones were next behind him at 33 k 34 seconds.

The overall match, tactical division winner and new sheriff in town was Hank Coates. Hank came over from Baton Rouge and brought the heat. It was his first visit to our range and we hope to see him frequently.

Limited division was again won by Jeret Howard, his third in a row. Once may be luck, twice may be coincidence, but three times is a bonafide streak. Especially considering he had to fight off a challenge from Ivan.

Open winner was Steve White, with Clayton Daigle right on his heels.

We had a great turnout today for the BPSA November USPSA match, with 57 shooters coming out. Several of those were first time shooters, which is always great to see.

The morning started out chilly, and the competition was tight across several divisions.

Stage 1 was the classifier, Front Sight. Steve Tannetta blew this one out of the water shooting Limited, with a 10.48 hit factor and a time of 4.96 seconds. Right behind him was Robert Jones, also in Limited, just a mere 0.02 seconds off the pace.

Stage 2 was a 24 round long course with 6 pieces of steel and all open targets. It was one of the faster paced stages of the day. Bill Mahley took this down in PCC with a 14 second run, and Steven Taylor set the pace for pistols with a 16 second run with his production gun.

Stage 3 was a 12 round short course that had 4 pieces of steel and a swinger at close to 20 yards away. Bill Mahley took this stage again with PCC with a smoking 8 second run, and Steven Mosher set the standard for pistols with an 11 second run.

Stage 4 was a 14 round medium course that was one of the more technical stages of the day. It featured two pieces of steel, a drop turner with a disappearing target and several tight shots covered with no shoots. Bill Mahley took the stage with PCC with an 11 second run, followed closely by Jonathan Jones, Michael Morgan, and Robert Jones each shooting Limited.

Stage 5 was a 35 round long course, easily the biggest and most target rich stage of the day. It featured a few tight shots at the start, and then you’re ally had to cover some ground to finish this stage. Bryant Willett took this stage with his production gun, David Martian was second with PCC, and Ethan Boudreaux was right behind in Carry Optics.

In the overall match results, it was a tight race across several divisions.

In Limited, Jonathan Jones bested his dad Robert Jones by 12 points to take the win, with Steven Tannetta finishing just 4 more points back.

In Production, Steven Mosher edged Bryant Willett by 14 points, with Steven Taylor another 13 points back.

Stage Diagrams

We had a great turnout today for the Two Gun match followed by the Shotgun side match. We had 29 shooters in the Two Gun match and another 18 in the shotgun match.

The weather was nice, aside from some brisk wind that necessitated us to bring out the sandbags to keep everything weighted down. The competition was just as stiff as names at the top of the scoreboard changed hands several times between stages.

In the Two Gun match, Stage 1 featured the Texas star, and was the most accuracy intensive stage of the day with every paper target having a no shoot. Clayton Patterson took this stage win home with a 27 second run, followed closely by Ivan Deroche and Jeret Howard.

Stage 2 had you starting empty handed with the rifle and pistol staged on separate tables. Bryant Willett took the stage win here with a 28 second run, with Jeret Howard and Joseph Arabie right on his heels.

Stage 3 had you starting with the pistol and the rifle staged down range. Steven Mosher took the stage win here with a 24 second run, with Steve Lashinsky and Bryant Willett right behind him.

After it was all over the final results showed the following winners:

Tactical Division: Steven Mosher
Limited Division: Jeret Howard
Open Division: Bryant Willett

In the shotgun match, stage 1 again feature the Texas star, and Ivan Deroche set the pace here with a 15.34 time, followed closely by David Martian with a 15.96.

Stage 2 required 11 rounds, 3 lollipops on the side berms and 5 small poppers on the center. No surprises at the top of this stage, as Ivan again set the pace with an 11.63 and David was right on him with less than two tenths separating them.

Stage 3 was a 12 round stage with 6 lollipops to your left, each in two shot arrays, with the right side being filled out by two plates and four poppers. This stage would decided the match, as David Martian laid down a smoking 13.04 with Clayton Patterson, Joseph Arabie and Trey Nicholson right behind him.

When the dust settled these winners emerged:

Limited Division: David Martian
Open Division: Clayton Daigle
Heavy Division: Ray Sawyer
