South Mississippi Practical Shooting

First off, let me apologize for not being there today to do the scores. It put Tom in a difficult position, but he stepped up and got things going. Thanks, Tom! I just finished the scores, but I don’t have much to say about the rest of the match because I wasn’t there…

The transition from Summer to Fall was evident today. At the start of the match, it was overcast, breezy and about 64 degrees. By the time the last shot had been fired, it was sunny and mid-70’s. That’s certainly preferable to the brutal heat we have had this year for 3-gun. It was down-right nice today, for a change. With four great stages and great weather, you would have thought more shooters would have turned out, but as it was, there were just 12 competing for the top spot.

The match today was dominated by one shooter. He collected 395.2 of the 400 match points available. With a margin of victory of almost 9%, the overall match winner was

What a difference a month makes. It seemed like Summer would never end, but it at least took a break today and treated 25 shooters to some spectacular weather. It was 57 when I got to the range today and only 77 by the time I left. The humidity was low and there was a light breeze and cloudless skies. What more could you ask for?

Well, how about some hot shooting? With the great turnout and even better stages, the game was on. The competition was hot and heavy, but in the end, the GM won the match. The winner by a comfortable margin was  Read more…

The South Mississippi Practical Shooting Association will host the monthly pistol match this Sunday (September 13, 2015) at the range in Poplarville. The match will begin at 9 AM. The weather should be great by Sunday, and Gerald is going to grade the road/hill before the match so it should be smooth sailing. Since Biloxi is cancelling the regular USPSA pistol match on Saturday, this will be your only chance for real pistol this weekend.

The weather tried its best to kill another match, but the shooters won this time. As has happened so many times this year, the weather on match day was fine, but a big storm the prior afternoon turned the road into the range into a slip and slide. However, this time, 4 wheel drive won out. It was slippery, rutty, and nasty, but the small crowd of shooters switched it in redneck mode on the pick-em-up trucks and made it up with little drama.

We had only 9 shooters but we still had a good match. With four quality stages with a mixture of speed and endurance, the challenges abounded. And, as is almost always the case in 3-gun, making the fewest mistakes rewarded someone with a victory.

It’s full-on Summer and Mother Nature was out with a vengeance today. Because of the heat, we shot only four stages, and they were relatively quick. And, as a result, we were out of there by 11:15 AM. So, at least it didn’t linger on and on.

The turnout was a bit light with just 13 shooters, but the stages were fun. I normally save the thanks for the end of the post, but today deserves special credit. We had the best help I can remember in a long, long time. Your match staff really appreciates that because they got to the range at 6:30 AM and were just plain worn out by the end of the shooting. Thanks again, everybody, for helping get things picked up.

And now, the results. The overall match winner was  Read more…
