Southern Maryland Two Gun

Southern Maryland Two Gun is a practical shooting match utilizing both rifle and pistols somewhat similar to an IDPA match. Rifles are limited to intermediate calibers but handguns may be of any type, excluding rimfire. Competitors will be shooting primarily at paper targets interspersed with the occasional clay pigeon, steel, or other reactive target. While infrequent, there may be any number of "blind stages" during a match where the brief is limited and the competitor will not get the chance to see the stage before shooting. Round count per stage will vary depending on the stage and the number of targets but will not require more than one rifle reload and/or two pistol reloads. Any carbine or rifle that complies with the muzzle energy limit is welcome but the emphasis will be on home defense and duty rifles, similarly any handgun is permitted but the emphasis is on practical firearms. Round count is specific to each match but bringing 100-150 per gun is more than enough.  All sign-ups will be via Practiscore.

Southern Maryland 2 Gun Mad Max Edition Match Report

7/19/2025

The apocalyptic wasteland was hot and humid, and the competition was smokin’!   This month’s match took stage inspiration and theming from the Mad Max movies. 

Friday's setup was hot as well and many thanks to the setup crew:  Mark, Andrea, Matt, Asher, Anibal, Aaron, Jeremy and the great stake pounder Ronan.  There were a lot of props and specialty equipment for some of the stages, and lots of ways for things to go wrong...thankfully it all turned out okay. 

A special shoutout goes to Mark and Andrea for setting up and running the challenging long-range “wasteland” stage at the rifle range.  Also, thanks to Rick Mongello for lending us the desert wasteland sniper rifle.

 

Now for the winners:

●       Open and Overall - Joseph Murphy

●       Prepper - Anibal Delgado (while carrying the now infamous “Prepper Rock”)

●       Tac Limited - Mike Hansen

●       Tac Scope - Kurt Franke

●       Iron Man - David Shoop (the only man brave enough to do things properly!)
