BPSA February 2017 USPSA Results!
We had 64 shooters come out today for the BPSA February 2017 USPSA match. The weather was perfect, and the match ran fairly smooth, aside from the bottleneck we had on the two speed shoots that shared a single bay. And the pizza showed up and just the right time!
Now on to the results:
Stage 1, Close Quarter Standards, was the 24 round, 3-string classifier. Overall stage winner here was Gerwin Henn shooting Limited, followed by Steve Tannetta also shooting Limited.
…
Stage 2, Swinging Bill, was a 12 round speed shoot, which featured a bill drill on a 20 yard swinger. The stage was also Virginia count. Having dot on your gun proved to be useful here, as the stage winner was Roger Henn, followed by Bill Mahley, both shooting Open.
Stage 3, Roscoe’s Star, was a 9 round speed shoot featuring mandatory reload and a 18 yard star, which proved to be quite the challenge for most shooters, most especially the new ones. Lot of time and brass was spent here, despite it only being 9 round minimum stage. Again, the dot on top of the gun proved to be useful, as the stage winner was Roger Henn followed again by Bill Mahley. The top non-dot finish was turned in by Todd Dempster, with a 10 second run.
Stage 4, Drop Turn Distance, was a 16 round medium course that featured a 15 yard drop turner with two disappearing targets. Steven Mosher had it dialed in here for the stage win shooting production with run of 10 seconds.
Stage 5, Tilt Right, was a 20 round medium course that had 2 pieces of steel, and a variety of plan options. Roger Henn picked the right option, and won the overall stage with a time of 13 seconds.
Stage 6, Speed Bumps, was a 26 round field course that was the biggest of the day, and required the most movement. Roger Henn again took the stage win here with a 17 second run.
When the final results were compiled, Ethan Boudreaux won Carry Optics, Gerwin Henn won Limited, Michael Ramos took Limited 10, Roger Henn edged Bill Mahley by a mere 2 points to take Open division by less that half of percent, CJ Williams won PCC, Steven Mosher won production, Gerald Benton took revolver, and Adam WIlliams edged Daryl Fury by only 3 points to take Single Stack by less than a percent overall.

Want to thank everyone for coming out and shooting, and especially for the hard work in running squads and tearing down stages after the match. Without the team effort, none of this would be possible.
See you the next match!

Registration is open for the February USPSA Pistol Match at the Brothers N Arms Range in Hattiesburg. This month’s event will have at 6 stages, including a classifier.
I asked you guys last month what you thought about January’s match having more stages, more steel, and a higher overall round count. For those that responded, the overwhelming response was that ya’ll loved it and wanted more of it. Our stage design officer heard you – six stages, four stages with steel (29 total pieces and one stage alone has 13), and a round count right at 150. We have also had a few requests to add Pistol Caliber Carbine to our match and the decision has been made to do so. You’ll find it now as an option on the registration form.
I want to give a special thank you in advance to Bill Jackson from the Poplarville Club, who will be filling in for me at this month’s match. As most of you know, he’s way better at this stuff than I am, so you guys are in excellent hands!
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.

January 2017 Brothers N Arms USPSA Pistol Match Results
The day started out chilly and overcast, but soon warmed up as 57 shooters came together to kick off 2017 for the Brothers N Arms USPSA Club. We had 6 stages plus a classifier with a great mix of short and long lay outs that, at least for yours truly, required just as much mental effort as physical.
We were also happy to have Brent Lindley, owner and proprietor of The Zombie Shop, a retail gun store in Petal, MS, join us as a first time shooter today. We were even luckier that, out of the blue, he brought along a tricked out Glock 17 to give away by random drawing! Congratulations to Charlie Sims, the lucky winner. Be sure to run by and check out Brent’s shop when you have the chance. Where else but South Mississippi can you find a top notch gun store inside of a pharmacy!! “Yes, I’d like the Sig P229 in FDE along with the Aspercreme, please.” Very cool, indeed. Thanks so much, Brent! Check out their Facebook page here – The Zombie Shop at Park Place Pharmacy.
On to the match results. Steven Sanders handily won both Limited division Read more…
BPSA January 2017 USPSA Results!
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!
