Steve Gilley replied to the topic Neck Tension ? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 6 months ago
I normally follow Brett’s procedure but after tumbling in corncob media I don’t clean the necks with the nylon brush. I think I will try annealing every firing to see if there is any improvement. I normally anneal every 3rd firing. Looking forward to shooting again Sat.

I have my bullets ready! Have not shot since Oct. but I’m ready! Would like to pair with someone that can look up in the pits for bullet strikes. Don’t mind pulling. My neck don’t bend well without complaining!

Got to get ammo ready this week. Been really busy for last few weeks. On top of dog training 2 days a week, feeding cows, and repairing fences I bought a convenient store/gas station! Must be going crazy! Anyway I did have 3 wounded warriors down Friday shooting and they had a blast. We brought down a big dead oak with one shot that was heard 10…[Read more]

Steve Gilley replied to the topic Hybrid vs VLD in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 7 months ago
I have had good luck with the hybrids and they seem to be easier to tune to that water line, but if you put the time in testing the Vld’s will shoot just as well! Have fun testing and don’t forget to log down outside temps!

Robbie has the gun and case that I got from Gunny. He put the gun in a soft case. Not using the custom case. I’ll check with him?

Steve Gilley replied to the topic Forums, Please wake up, Please!!! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 8 months ago
Checking in Wynne. Haven’t been shooting or reloading since last match. Hunting either! I did slip in to take a peek and the altered Reese Bottom range a few weeks ago! Met Britt there to deliver a rifle he is tweaking for me! On the bad side Jimmy’s father passed away last month and my Dad needs by-pass surgery but can’t due to failing kidneys.…[Read more]

Sorry I missed the match today and I’m awaiting the scores from such a windy day. I’m sure it was very challenging! Hope everyone shot well.

Steve Gilley started the topic New Stock means New Gun in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 10 months ago
I was lucky enough, or unlucky enough to win a $500 gift certificate on a Manners Stock. This means I will have to decide what I want to build and what type of stock! My neck and shoulder conditions are going to force me into less F-class shooting. Not sure which bothers me most, shooting prone or pulling targets. Almost sure I will build a bench…[Read more]

Steve Gilley replied to the topic 1000 Yard Bench Rest in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 10 months ago
He called me also and I told him I would ask around. Wynne you know more about how these matches are run and the format. Could you post a little info on that? It is considerably less shooting than F-class matches and from a bench, that’s about all I know!

Some excellent shooting by these two. Shot with Brad at Palo Alto and he is a tough FTR competitor! Congrats on the wins.

Steve Gilley replied to the topic October Bench Rest @ Reese Bottom in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 11 months ago
Running late getting on the forum,been a busy week. As Wynne mentioned there were several good capable shooters there and the scores and x’s certainly didn’t reflect that! The conditions was not that bad. My first string had some out in 7 ring! Why didn’t I pick up on that wind.??

Will be there if nothing bad happens. Praying for Mr. Richard. HaTe he had to go through yet another surgery. Wishing him a speedy recovery and hopefully he will be back out shooting again. Trying to get some of these boys down here that have let their guns rust up come and shoot with us!

I’m off to the Palo Alto range tomorrow for a weekend of shooting F-class mid range for the state’s championship. From the scores at last years event I will need lots of luck just to not place last! Will be 2 day event with 120 rounds for score. Guess I will clean gun Sat. night. Hope this is the right thing to do!

Nice score sheet Wynne! Good shooting for any caliber but great for .223! I enjoyed the Nationals with Wynne but we both were outgunned and got out shot for sure!! Maybe we can blame it on not getting any practice in tropical storm weather! Joking, the weather was not as bad as our scores reflected!

I have shot at Reese Bottom a lot. In addition I shoot at Pascagoula some. They have both 600 and 1000 f class and benchrest matches. I’ve been to Tullahoma Tn. For both 600 and 1000 yard F class matches. Blakley Ga. once but now closed. The new range in Laurel Ms. Is now up and running and has both 600/1000 yard matches. It is set up nice except…[Read more]
