Sonny, We will be announcing Sunday night sometime what we will be doing in April. So stay tuned. I hope that you get in but let me remind you that we only shoot one rifle per person when we shoot our prone matches. Not that it really matters, but do you shoot prone or do you shoot a prone match from a bench?
I’ll throw this teaser out there a…[Read more]

Things are coming together that should allow us to be able to shoot the April Mid Range Prone Match using the new Shotmarker E-Targets. Here is the kicker: all the unknowns of this being the first match using the e-targets. That being said, plans are to limit the number of shooters allowed to shoot this match. It will be a fairly generous number…[Read more]

John, sorry but I have not received an email. I am going to have to declare the range off limits tomorrow. The whole family is back there turkey hunting. Please check by often. Plans are to have a fun shoot either the first or second Saturday in April. If I can get things lined up, we are maybe going to shoot a trial run on the new electronic…[Read more]

We have enjoyed the nice weather this week and have been able to get three new e-target backers built at 600 yards. Now comes the fun part, learning how to work them. If you think that you will ever shoot the targets I would suggest that everyone go to the shotmarker website and read the reference manual. Not so much the construction part, but…[Read more]

I was done and fixing to log off but I went back and looked at all the photos. Nice looking bunch of guys but what caught my attention was that so many were waving $$$$$. Ya’ll will appreciate this but right at the end this afternoon, Reese Bottom was hit by a computer virus and the financial manager forgot to cut the pot therefore all winners…[Read more]

Phillip, glad you got logged on and look forward to hearing from you. I can only imagine that little brother was hard to ride home with today but something tells me that you can handle things. Ya’ll represent the other side of the line very well. Thanks for coming. WWE

There was a great opportunity from today that should better help the shooters that frequent Reese Bottom understand how the spreadsheet determines who wins. See the results of the first three shooters in the March Mechanical Division. Look to the far right. The spreadsheet averages the 4 groups and totals the 4 scores and ranks the results…[Read more]

Okay, we have updated the webpage with the results from the March bench rest match held at Reese Bottom. Kinda windy and overcast and also very wet but all in all we had a good rifle match. The three divisions were all well represented but still have room for a few more shooters. We had new shooters and new stuff. Richard brought brownies,…[Read more]

Friday morning, the day before report. It flooded here yesterday afternoon and has rained a little this morning. I’m thinking the creek probably got over the shooting tables. Will check this morning. The weather channel app says it is about over and out of here. We will plan to go forward with the match as planned. It will be very wet and…[Read more]

Well, the bottom got re wetted today. This weather is getting to be something. Please pray for the families that lost loved ones from the storms earlier today in east Alabama. Please remember that we will be shooting from the benches again this month. The guns will be divided as always and the match will be similar to the match last month. We…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic February 2019 Results are in !!! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 7 years, 2 months ago
The .223/.308 division has become well represented but we sure could use at least four or five more shooters in both the open bi pod and mechanical divisions. Any good shooters out there willing to commit? Next month will be Benchrest also with 30 record shots plus fouler. Make plans now to attend the March match. WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic February 2019 Results are in !!! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 7 years, 2 months ago
I just noticed that the results of the match yesterday are not very well explained. We divided the rifles into three divisions and each division shot two five shot targets at 300 yards and two five shot targets at 500 yards. 1 & 2 were at 300 yards and 3 & 4 were at 500 yards. See the ‘Results Page’. WWE

Be sure and look around the website, there is new content on the home, photo, and results pages. Flickr just made me subscribe to upload the photos. Said I had exceeded the free limit. Thanks to all that weathered the muddy mess that is Reese Bottom. We had thirteen good shooters in the three divisions with the majority being .308’s. We were…[Read more]

Well here is what I know. Something has fallen for the last couple of hours. Not rain but a fine mist. Anyway, it is wet. The weather channel app is calling for rain before day but then the chance backs off. We will shoot if at all possible. You are welcome to call the cell [334-654-2462] after 6 am if there is doubt.

I have spent time today working on the road. The road bed is sandy and it is supposed to rain between now and then but hopefully we will be okay. I did create a speed bump to try to divert the water so slow down when leaving the asphalt.
I have been asked about calling the match Saturday. We will plan to shoot unless it is raining Saturday…[Read more]

Please be advised that the road into the farm has washed because of all the recent rain. Just beyond where the pavement ends there is a gas line exposed in the middle of the road. I went over there tonight and put a cone in the middle of the road so please look for the cone and the wash and dodge it. Sure hope the rain cuts us some slack for…[Read more]
