South Mississippi Practical Shooting

The start of the new year brought another great match for the Swamp Eagles. It was a tad cool at match time, but it eventually warmed up and so did the shooting. We had 44 shooters today, which is a decent turnout for us. Not great, but certainly not shabby.

Bob and his crack stage design team crafted 5 stages plus a classifier that seems to be fair but reasonably challenging at the same time. When all the shooting was done, it wasn’t very close for the Overall match title. First Overall and first in Open went to  Read more…

The cancellation of the EAPS resulted in more shooters than normal. Final registration showed 61 shooters. The weather was nice, a bit cool at the start. There were 4 monster stages and one traditional classifier. With the monster stages all being 36+ rounds, several Production shooters decided they wanted to load the mags up and switched to Limited for the day. This allowed more rounds per mag and fewer reloads, but a Minor scoring factor. Still, it was worth it. Most stages were 6 round revolver friendly, so it didn’t break down very well for 10 round mags.

When the final tally was made, there was one shooter who outclassed everyone else. The first place overall and Open winner was Read more…

Today was an interesting match. We had 9 brand new shooters today, which is much more than normal, and no one got DQ’ed or accidentally shot, which is good. Quite a few regulars shot different guns than they normally do, and the results mostly don’t look normal. But, other than that, it was just a typical day in Pearlington. The weather was very pleasant, the shooting was great and Tom was still having a fine time vacationing in Mexico. 

The top of the leader board isn’t much of a surprise, but several divisions are sporting first time winners. The overall match winner and Open winner was  Read more…

Sometimes, things just go right. Today, we set a record for shooter count in Pearlington. The great weather, no Saints game and the last practice match before the Gator all combined to get 65 shooters out today. There were a few brand new shooters, and we thank you for coming and hope you will return. The idea today was to be a little more challenging than normal. Several of the regulars had shot the Nationals the week before and discovered that we don’t set up stages that are challenging enough. So, today, we kinda pushed it a bit more towards the hard side. The only downside today was the bottleneck that developed around the classifier which resulted in several squads having to wait to shoot there. 

When the dust settled and the last scores were counted, there was a relatively new name at the top of the leader board. The overall winner (for the second month in a row) and Open division winner was  Read more…

We finally got a break on the weather and weren’t sloshing around in the mud. It was a bit warm, but overall, it was a nice day. We had 37 shooters show up, but unfortunately, four of them ended up disqualified.

With the regular old-codger setup crew off for the week, the stages reflected challenging courses, but without a great deal of props. That being said, you had to be on your technical game today to score well.

There is always a winner, and today the overall match winner was Read more…
