South Mississippi Practical Shooting

UPDATED: Feb. 10, 2018:

The registration period closed today for a slot in the 2018 USPSA Nationals. We had a pretty good response for the slots, but the unfortunate thing is we don’t have enough slots to meet the requests. In summary, it looks like this: Read more…

After a week of winter weather colder than North Dakota had this week, today saw a return to a more normal South Mississippi.  Other than a couple of bays that were still pretty slushy and muddy from the snow, the range condition was great with temperatures that were mild and wind that was cooperative for the most part.  Forty eight shooters took advantage of the mild environment and showed up for 5 stages with a great mixture of paper, steel, no-shoots, and hard-cover.  Today very clearly favored the mental shooter!

We’ve had some close finishes in the past, but I think today’s top two shooters beat anything I’ve seen before.  They were from different divisions, both of which they each won very handily.  But at the end of the day,  Read more…

Baby, it was cold outside!!

The clouds kept things pretty chilly right up til the very end of today’s match, but 39 shooters still came out and by all accounts, a great time was had by all!  Registration actually got close to 60 shooters at one point, but it looks like the flu is everywhere, judging by the number of withdrawals due to illness.  The six stages moved well and provided a good mix of fast movement and strategy.  The classifier, Down the Middle, proved to be challenging for most, with a total of 25 shooters having one or more Mikes.  At the end of the day, though, one shooter stood head and shoulders above the rest!

One of our own has achieved a bit of fame. The newly redesigned USPSA web site went up today (or very recently), and look who’s in the picture that pops up on the home page! And guess where he’s shooting. If you are a regular of the local matches in South Mississippi, then you’ll immediately recognize David Pape shooting at the range Poplarville. Here’s a capture of the home page. I would expect they would have rotating pictures so he may not always be there, but he is there now, so check out the new web site and give a shout out to David for making the cover! Here’s a preview, and if you click the picture, you’ll go to the new web site directly.

The day dawned clear and cool, and while the clouds threatened rain for part of today’s match, the real weather challenge turned out to be the wind as this front moved in.  It blew down targets, walls, steel, even a whole bank of barrels at one point.  But it didn’t stop 40 shooters from having a great day at the Brothers N Arms range today.  The stages were nice and big, with lots of movement and a good round count.  I think everyone found something in the mix to be challenging today!  A big thanks to the Dupuy family again for all of their help with set up during the week and to all the great shooters that helped with final set up this morning and with tear down.

The battle for second overall was simply phenomenal, with Read more…
