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 (defined as centerfire cartridges having a muzzle energy ≤1875 ft·lbs) 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 Summer Match Report

7/20/2024

Whew! That was a hot one. But the heat, humidity and a little rain didn’t keep 37 competitors from heading out to the range for the day’s challenges. A special shout out to all the Preppers who dealt with: the weather, carrying all their equipment, and running to reset the targets on stage 5!

Congratulations to George Harris for the overall win and taking first in Open division (as a Novice to this match!). Joshua Gaus took first in Tac Scope. Ryan Martin dominated Tac-Limited. Ironman division was made up of Lees from beginning to end, with Nicholas at the top. Despite Prepper division being made super challenging with the “extra” tasks on stage 5; Dale Proctor sweated his way into first.
