South Mississippi Practical Shooting

We ended up the year with a bang. We had a GREAT turnout today, considering the weather. In all, 28 shooters braved the overcast and breezy conditions to shoot another great 5 stage match. We had quite a few new shooters today and we really appreciate their participation in our match. Hopefully, they will come back next year for more great shooting.

Once again, the match ran smoothly, with no scoring miscues and no stage confusion. Thank you to the scorekeepers for paying attention and writing clearly.

Before getting to the results, I want to thank everyone who helped set up or tear down. We had lots to attend to and the help was really appreciated.

What a difference a month makes. Last month, we had the fiasco of the scoring screw-ups that caused no end of problems. This month, everything went great with the scores. All scores were recorded, and other than a few cases where steel wasn’t totaled into the A hits, everything was done right. Thanks to those that kept score correctly!

The weather was pretty good today, with a light overcast sky once and a while and very nice temperatures. We had 26 shooters show up to today to do battle with 5 really great stages. Well, I guess that would be 4 great stages and a surprisingly difficult classifier. There were four who zeroed the classifier and only two who shot it clean. Because of the design, it tended to clump the penalties, with a miss turning into a no-shoot as well in lots of cases. We will try to do better next time.

Ok, shooters. We have made an investigation and have decided this. Max watched Spanky’s video and is sure the squad engaged all 16 targets. So, we will remove the 2 Mike/1 Procedure from each squad 2 shooter and replace them with one A and one C. It isn’t perfect but this match is just for fun. Those new scores are here. This allows us to use all 5 stages. If you feel this isn’t fair, then be all means, use the scores that throw out stage 3, found here.

I just can’t believe more people didn’t show up today! The weather was fantastic. The rain had passed through last night and the skies were clear. The temperature was about 68 and the wind was non-existent. What a great day!

Rifle Match

The rifle scores are now posted!

Let me start out by saying the rifle match was not run very smoothly. First, the mover cable was shot in the middle of the match and was rendered inoperable. Then the score sheets were the WORST in the history of competitive shooting. Every mistake that could be made was made. So, take these scores with a grain of salt. On stage 2, the mover, some people shot it with the mover actually moving, and some shot it with it standing still. Big difference, and I have no record of who shot it how. So, the scores are what they are.
