Sonny, you make some good suggestions here. I can definitely better inform the good shooters of the task before them earlier in the mornings. The coaching can be stopped for sure but in my opinion completely clearing the concrete pad is a bit of a stretch due to the shade provided, the cooking, and the seating provided by the picnic table. Thank…[Read more]

I forgot to mention a special Thank You to Scott Parten for agreeing to meet me at 5:30 am to set up the targets and for also being so willing to help with the data entry for all the shooters. Brett Collins showed up early enough that he also had to help with the targets. Steve Gilly fed us all deer sausage for breakfast and John Sanders…[Read more]

Thanks Danny. It has been a pleasure to welcome you and Albert into the fold at Reese Bottom. If you have not noticed already, you had the small group of the day at 1000 yards, a 4.31″/5 shot group. Congrats. WWE

Friday morning thoughts. Mike Boykin has offered electricity, he still needs a fan. If you are shooting in the .308 division, please arrive on time so that we might get an early start. With that being said, if you arrive later in the morning, please do not drive too close to the firing line and please, everyone, do your coming and going from…[Read more]

Mike Boykin just called and said that he has a shop fan and a generator that will pull two fans if anyone has one that they think will work. Please come prepared for a very hot day and plan to stay hydrated. It is setting up to be a long day. Again, if you are shooting in the Open Bi Pod division and want to come a little later, plan to show up…[Read more]

Sonny Korner has texted to let me know that he will be shooting .284 in the mechanical division. That makes thirty two and that is enough. WE ARE FULL. Eight relays of four good shooters. We have a very good split with good groups of shooters in all three divisions. The Open Bi-Pod division has the most good shooters with 14 signed up. We…[Read more]

Milton Jordan has called and wants in. That is 31. I will take one more, two if you beg. Please bring your patience. WWE

As of Tuesday night we have 27 good shooters signed up. Should be an interesting day for everyone. Please come prepared to stay a while, not sure how quickly things will go. Remember, this is a first. There is a little info missing. Ron W., Buddy W., and Jennifer, what type front rest are you shooting on? Albert Pitchford, what caliber rifle…[Read more]

Well, it is finally shoot week. Richard Allen called and will be shooting his 6.5 X 47 in the mechanical division. Looks like we will have a good crowd. I hope everyone comes prepared for the 1000 yards. So far, no one has mentioned needing any help with their scope dope. It has rained here everyday this week and I have gotten behind on some…[Read more]

I forgot to mention. Once the divisions determined, I will announce the order that the divisions will shoot. The match will be 4/5 shot record targets and the shooter will shoot all four targets at one sitting. Please post your comments and questions here in this topic. WWE

Fellows I apologize for what happened yesterday with the strange person that was able to register on the forum. There have actually been others before but they were more easy to identify. The site has an active spam catcher but some are able to slip through. Prior to this incident they have always had funny looking email addresses and no photo…[Read more]

I would like to remind everyone that we will have some biscuits and sausage for breakfast tomorrow morning and probably a hot dog and chips for lunch. Not going to bring coffee pot so you coffee drinkers stop by Jack’s and filler up. $25 entry fee. We will pay four places and the team with the most ‘X’s will split the ‘Gunny Pot’. I intend for…[Read more]
