South Mississippi Practical Shooting

Last month, we set an attendance record for the past five years. Today, we nearly equaled that record. We had 29 shooters competing and, just as notable, we instituted online registration. Fifteen of the shooters pre-registered, which makes the final registration go much quicker. Look for this next month as well.

It would be hard to complain about the weather today, because it was just about perfect. We started on time and were pickup up and ready to go by 1 PM. Other than a few scoring setup issues (sorry about that), things went very smoothly. The squads never waited (unlike last month), and the pace seemed to be just about right.

The leader board looks fairly normal, with the overall winner also taking the Open division. Congratulations to  Read more…

**REMINDER** Daylight Saving Time start Sunday morning (March 8). Don’t forget to “Spring forward” and set your clock one hour ahead on Saturday night. If you don’t, you might find yourself in a rush to make it to the match on time!

The Poplarville club is now accepting online registration. Click here to pre-register for the match.

Members shoot for $15.00, while non-members pay $20.00. You don’t need to pre-register, but we would appreciate it if you do.

After losing two consecutive months to the weather, we finally got a match done. It was actually pretty nice, all things considered. It wasn’t hot, it wasn’t cold, it didn’t rain (until after we were done), and it was overcast all day so conditions were consistent for everyone.

The turnout was also a pleasant surprise. We had 15 shooter, with three of them being first time shooters to our club. Everyone seems to have a great time, although the stages were surprisingly challenging. Only one shooter completed the entire match penalty free.

So, without further adieu, lets get to the good stuff. The match winner was  Read more…

This was an interesting day today. February is always iffy on the weather, but it was great today. Not too hot, not too cold, sort of a Goldilocks day for weather. It was the turnout that was a bit surprising. We had the largest turnout since June 2010, with 34 shooters competing for the top spot. We had quite a few regulars, but also a first time ever shooter and quite a few first time for us shooters. The clubs thanks everyone who came out today to support us. Unfortunately, we hadn’t planned on the big numbers and it caused a few logjams.

As most of you know, our shooting bays don’t always allow all stages to be shot concurrently. Today brought that home with a exclamation point. Try as we might, we just couldn’t keep it going and several squads waited, and waited, waited. The last group finished after 2 PM, so it made for a long day, but thankfully, the weather was pleasant.

With the delayed finish, the results are just now being posted for most shooters. Our overall match winner was  Read more…
