      On Saturday August 20, 2022, Reese Bottom will host a Midrange(600 yard) pairs match. We will pair an Open rifle with a FTR rifle and shoot two relays of thirty shots each with the two shooters shooting alternate shots. We have done this in the past and everyone seems to enjoy doing things a little different every now and then. Please be here and ready to go by 8:00 am. I will have some food and drinks. Please register your attendance here in this topic by Thursday night August 18 at 7:00 pm and I will announce the pairings later that night. Look forward to seeing everyone on the 20th. WWE

      6BrX open from bench, Mr Wynne if my shooting from bench makes it hard to pair up just leave me off and I will just come and enjoy watching. I hope someday I can go back to prone but right now it just ant happening. I may have a new to us shooter coming

      It almost seems like forever since we shot, but shoot week is here. We have until Thursday night at 7:00 pm to register but it looks like already that we have a good group coming. As most of you know this is a match format that I dreamed up a year or two ago just to do things a little differently from time to time. It looks like one class of rifle might outnumber the other by a few. If that is still the case Thursday once registration is complete, I ask that each of you trust my judgement in dividing things up. The format will be two partners shooting alternate shots for 2 X 30. Communicating and coaching between partners is encouraged. We plan to pay several places and there will be a ‘Gunny Pot’. I will have some food and drinks and if we are lucky, it might even be a little cooler. If each of you will come planning to shoot 30 tens or X’s, it will not matter who I pair you with.lol Looking forward to seeing everyone this Saturday, WWE

      Mr. Wynne if it ends up a odd number I can do one of two things to make it easier on you (and make sure you all others gets to shoot) I can skip shooting this match or I can shoot all 60 shots as a one man team
      What ever to help

      How many shots will each shooter take; 2 relays of 15 shots for a total of 30 shots or 2 relays of 30 shots for a total of 60 shots?

      Please advise.

      Thanks

      Okay, we are closing things down for the August Pairs Match. We have tried to pair things up as well as we can with what we have to work with. lol. The committee has met and we are attaching a photo of the ten pairs. Try to arrive around 8 am and we will get things going as quickly as possible. Not real sure what the weather will be like but hopefully it will not be a problem. I’ll have food and drinks so please plan to come and enjoy yourself. I have the new Boykin made targets ready to go, I hope, and it appears that the virtual ‘X’ is a tad over two MOA below the target ‘X’. I would suggest taking two MOA out of your known 600 elevation and chase from there. Take care and we will see all of you good shooters Saturday morning. WWE

      I think if you click the image it will enlarge.

      The “ committee” did a fine job, anybody’s game. My ugly duckling paired with best looking rig at RB
      I’m excited. Safe trip to all

      I had a great time shooting at Reese Bottom. I was paired up with Eric Turbyfill and we had a great time shooting this format.

      Thanks to Mr. Wynne and Jesse Smith for inviting me and the hospitality of everyone there. I look forward to getting back there some day, maybe to shoot a 1000 yard match.
