The South Mississippi Practical Shooting Association will host the monthly 3-Gun match this Sunday (April 3, 2016) at the range in Poplarville. The match will begin at 9 AM. For details about our 3-gun match, click here.

April is also membership renewal month. For the low cost of only $35, your one year membership gets you a $5 discount on all matches (both pistol and 3-gun), you get access to the range, and most importantly, you help support the club for another year. If we have 49 shooters join for another year, we can cover our lease and insurance costs and devote the rest to improving the range with new props and physical improvements.

The March 2016 USPSA pistol match of the South Mississippi Practical Shooting Association (SMPSA) has been cancelled. Unfortunately both Wayne and Bill will be unavailable this weekend, and these things don’t put themselves together. We apologize for the short notice and the inability to have the match. We hope to see everyone the following Sunday at the temporarily relocated Pearlington Swamp Eagles match, which is once again, visiting our range while they look for a new home.

Another fine weather day brought another fine match. This month, nineteen shooters tested their skills on the 3-gun field of battle and found that even a bad stage now and then isn’t too bad when you’re outside on such a nice day, going head to head for bragging right with your favorite shooting crew.

Four stages without the long range drama proved to the formula for the overall match winner,  Read more…

The gully. Two simple words that just don’t do it justice. In the summer, it’s unbearably hot, often inaccessible and avoided like the plague. In the winter though, it beckons us into its maw, swallowing brass, mags, and occasionally a gun or two. But the reward is sweet. Today, the pistol match returned to the gully for the first time in several years. Although we shot it last week for 3-gun, that was only with 11 shooters. Today’s complement of 32 shooters were put to the test. Some conquered it and others, well… let’s just say they got their money’s worth. It was forty rounds and a hundred yards of fun. If you haven’t shot it before, you are definitely missing an experience.

The rest of the match must have also been fun, because I had more compliments for the fun level than I can recall in recent memory. That makes all the hard work worth it!

Now, on to the results. This was a match that often favored the Open shooter.  The Open and Limited divisions had an almost equal number of shooters, and Open shooters finished 2 through 10, but the overall winner actually came from the Limited ranks. It wasn’t very close, either. The top spot overall today goes to  Read more…

We are also planning on shooting in the gully this month!

It was a great day any way you looked at it. The weather was fine, the shooting was better and things went off without a hitch. Although the turnout was a lighter than normal, at just eleven shooters, it didn’t diminish the stages one bit. They ranged from short and focused on gun handling, to long and challenging with tons of steel. And best of all, we finally got back in the gully!

Although the shooting was competitive, in the end it wasn’t close. The shooter who won the match managed to shoot the cleanest and most consistent of anyone, and that’s the secret to winning at 3-gun. On top was Read more…

The February edition of SMPSA 3-Gun will be held on February 7, 2016 at our range in Poplarville, MS. Yes, this is Superbowl Sunday, but we will be done long before the pre-game festivities begin. And besides, who cares about football?!

The first match of the new year is in the books and it went down well. It was chilly all day, with the wind being the biggest problem. But everyone seemed to have a good time. We were done by Noon, and all the props were picked up in near real time.

The stages were quick but challenging today. The total head count for the match was 26, which isn’t too bad for our club. It’s above average, and for such a blustery day, it was real good.

The results today speak volumes. The winner practically lapped the field. He won the match by more than 10%, or 63 match points. Congratulations today go to  Read more…
