South Mississippi Practical Shooting

We planned for hot weather, and guess what? We were right. It was hot! But the quick stages and lack of steel helped things move along. We were done shooting before Noon and were on the road by 12:30 PM. And, it started raining just as we were pulling out. Talk about timing…

For the second straight month, the turnout was fantastic. We had 37 shooters come out to challenge the heat. We had one shooter that retired due to an injury and one unfortunate DQ. But it seems like everyone else liked the quick, but surprisingly challenging stages.

The overall match winner is no stranger to podium finished. Standing atop the heap once again was  Read more…

Last month, I said “Oh, yeah, the weather was fantastic!” What a difference a month makes. It is now full-on Summer in South Mississippi and it was hot and humid at the range. But that didn’t stop 37 shooters from coming out. This was our best turnout since April of 2010. The match was set up as four stages that were high round count and (supposedly) quick to shoot and reset. That mostly worked out and we were done shooting well before Noon and had everything picked up and ready to leave by 12:15 PM.

Today’s match certainly favored the Open shooters. In fact, the top ten finishers were all in Open. But there was one Open shooter that managed to practically lap the rest of the field. Today’s win went to  Read more…

As a reminder to everyone, the 3-Gun matches in Poplarville are not held in June, July and August because of the heat. We resume 3-Gun matches in September. The monthly pistol matches are held all year round.

Thanks, Mom! Thanks for letting your Son/Husband/Father/Sister/Daughter (fill in your appropriate relative) come shoot today. The typical Mother’s Day match is lightly attended, but today was different. We had 26 shooters out for fun in the Sun. There were 6 quick, but challenging stages, where the desire to go fast sometimes overcame good shooting judgment. I’d like to say everyone shot clean for Mom, but that wasn’t the case. Those that did, prospered. Those that didn’t suffered. Oh, yeah. The weather today was fantastic, too!

When the results were finally computed, there was a now-familiar name at the top. The overall winner and Open division winner was  Read more…

The weather is not looking good for Sunday. Heavy rains on Thursday may have affected the road into the range and Sunday has a 90% chance of more rain. We have not officially cancelled the match yet, but please check back here on Saturday evening for a final decision.

Online registration has not been set up for this match.

It was a great day in Poplarville. Thirty-two shooters came to enjoy the nice weather and the great stages. We had 4 squads and 6 stages and things moved along well. As usual, the stages were challenging, but fun.

The match wasn’t a runaway, but then again, it wasn’t really all that close, either. With a margin of victory of slightly more than 3%,  Read more…
