The December 2019 USPSA pistol match in Biloxi has been cancelled. We hope you enjoy the holiday season with your family and friends.

We will be back at it in January.

This is a brief update to the results from this past Sunday’s USPSA match. I was notified by Kevin Leonhardt that a Mike he had on steel on stage 2 was not recorded. I updated the results and he dropped from 4th to 6th overall, but the good news for Ethan Boudeaux is he is now the CO division winner! Congratulations, Ethan! And, thank you to Kevin for correcting the scores. You don’t have to return the prize money, though 😉

It was back to business as usual in Biloxi after missing last month due to the Gator Classic. I bet more than a few of you forgot just how diabolical Gerwin can be when he gets his mind into it. He talked about carnival games at the shooters meeting and he delivered. The weather was fantastic, while the shooting… well, good for some.

It was a bit of a light turnout with just 37 shooters, but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of those that did come out. The aptly named I Hate You (aka Stage 2) was not so kind to a lot of the competitors and I swear there were magazines piling up on a couple of spots as folks went to war with the remnants of a Texas Star. It helps to remember that sometimes taking a miss can be the best choice. It seems so wrong to think that way, but when a plate can only be seen screaming by for a half second and then disappears for about 3 seconds, you gotta know your limits. A hard earned lesson for some, I think. Here is a video from one who did well there.

You can bet the winner didn’t have any issues there, either. Or anywhere else for that matter. Today’s winner in overall also took the Open division with a very solid performance, winning by 8.5%. Congratulations once again to Read more…

With the G-Man back in the driver’s seat, the difficulty stepped up just a bit. No high hit factor stages were present today, but there were plenty of long shots, tight shots, no-shoots and a fair amount of steel. All these factors seemed to challenge folks more than normal. Be that as it may, it was still a fun match.

The weather wasn’t too bad, with just a bit of heat and sun at times, but nothing like this Summer. The turnout was decent with 40 shooters navigating the 5 stages. There were a handful of new shooters today and everyone seemed to get through the match OK. Thank you for coming out to shoot with us today!

For those who previewed the scores at the range or got them on PS moments after they were posted, there was a mistake in scoring that, when corrected, resulted in a change to the top few positions. At first, I was surprised and delighted to see that I finished 3rd overall and had beaten my mentor, Gerwin, in head to head competition with open guns, but it was not to be. A procedure penalty on me on stage 2 was recorded improperly. Once it was updated, I dropped to 5th. Darn it. But I would rather beat him fair and square, than by a fat fingered mistake, and that day will come…

Today saw the return of several shooters who had been on break for a couple of months, but it was clear they didn’t totally forget how to get it done. Maybe a bit of rust seeped through, but they dominated the match as they have been doing for quite some time. However, the final scores showed Read more…
