      On Saturday April 16, 2022, Reese Bottom will host a 1000 yard pairs match. We will take those that register and pair the rifles up the best we can as we have in the past with an open rifle paired with a FTR rifle. The match format will be two relays of thirty shots each. Each pair of good shooters will shoot the relay as alternate shots. Coaching is encouraged. I will have some food and drinks so plan to come have a fun day at the range. Please register your attendance here in this topic by Thursday night April 14 at 7:00 pm. If anyone has questions about this type match, please ask them here. Hope to see many of you on the 16th. WWE

      I hate to miss this team match but Easter weekend and youth turkey hunters have taken priority this weekend. Someone will need to take over my chef duties. Haha! I will be back next month. JRS

      Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday the 16th. Please try to arrive by 8:00 am so that we can be shooting by 9:00. I will have food and drinks. I will list each pair below. We will shoot two relays of thirty shots with each shooter shooting alternate shots. I plan to use three targets. The two bench shooters will shoot by themselves and the other three prone groups will all shoot at the same time. Things should move very smoothly.

      Slaton/Thomas from the benches
      Smith/Boykin
      Pitchford/Franklin
      Pace/Parten

      This works very well for me. The wife and I are leaving soon after the match for a weeklong road trip to celebrate our 50th anniversary and visit our Florida grands. Not having to handle so much stuff should help us get on the road quicker. WWE

      Weather Alert !! Rain and thunderstorms are predicted for this area before dawn and throughout the day. I am not going to call the match at this time. Every time that I have made a call the weather did not happen. I assume that all of you registered shooters will see this. Please check here before you leave home in the morning. I will get up around 6 am and if things are doubtful, I will post it right here. Feel free to call my cell if you have questions. 334-654-2462. Hopefully we will dodge the weather. WWE

      Jessie Smith and I just talked and we think it best to cancel the match. The extended radar looks rough around 10 am. It is raining here now and a big line came through around two so it would be a muddy mess at best. I hope that all of you registered shooters check this before leaving home because I do not have everyone’s phone number. Sorry about this, I cannot reschedule because of the trip the wife and I have planned. Hopefully things will be better next month. The range is standing in water so that I cannot get it cut with the tractor. We had only weed eated in front of the shed but could have gotten by. I will mention next month’s match around the first of May. Take care, WWE
