The results from the bench rest match held today at Reese Bottom are now posted on the ‘Results Page’ and some random photos taken today are on the ‘Photos Page’. There is also a photo on the ‘Home Page’ of our handsome Gunny Pot winner. There is a misstatement on the results page…Mr. Slaton’s BRX is actually a pistol. We had eleven good…[Read more]

Please be advised that the shoot scheduled for tomorrow will go on as planned. I just took a load of stuff to the range and it is extremely wet back there. It has rained here everyday this week and according to the weather channel app it will rain at some point tomorrow. We will plan to do what the weather allows us to do so wear your rubber…[Read more]

I hope that three of you good shooters planning to attend the match this Saturday will remember to bring your shooting stool. Also, sure would like to see more of you agree to shoot the .22 match. WWE

Richard, I hope we can get a few more that want to shoot this match. We will shoot at a 50 yard NRA target for score only. The ‘X’ is a pencil dot, 10, 9, 8 etc. 25 shots for record. What we have done in the past is set the backer at 50 yards and light 2 smug pots between the bench and target. Each shooter will have their official target and…[Read more]

I would like to remind everyone that Reese Bottom will be shooting from the benches for the months of June, July, and August. The shooters at the May prone match voted for June to be a 20 record shot match with 5 shot at 200 yards, 5 shot at 300 yards, 5 shot at 400 yards, and 5 shot at 500 yards. There will be a sight in period on plates at…[Read more]

We updated the ‘Home Page’ and the ‘Results Page’ and have posted a few photos from the day on the ‘Photo Page’. We had nine good shooters today. Conditions were good for the most part. We had a service rifle and a pistol shoot the match. Both were very impressive. Congrats to all the winners. I actually left scratching my head as to how I…[Read more]

Reese Bottom got a hair cut today. As of now, really dried out but showers are predicted. Seems to be warming up in a hurry. Hope to see many of you good shooters this Saturday. WWE

Any of you good shooters have any suggestions on some excellent in ear device. I have some molded pieces that fit the ear that do okay and I had some electronic muffs that about drove me crazy last Saturday. Not sure if the muffs have lost their fit or what but they made my head hurt. Anyway I pitched them toward my range bag after the match…[Read more]

I have never thought about comparing one to the other. Most targets have a square or rectangle shape. The problem that I seem to have with the plates is trying to determine the center of the splat and move that point to the center of the X on the target. If you think about it, a good shooter would expect his group size to be smaller than the…[Read more]

On Saturday April 21, 2018 Reese Bottom will host a mid range prone match.

The match will be run exactly as always so please plan to arrive by 8 am so that we can get things…[Read more]

As it turns out, Surrell’s suggestion would have worked. After the last four or five years at Reese Bottom, many of you have noticed that my shooting is not very accurate. After yesterday, you now know that I am not good at weather forecasting either. To those of you that had planned to attend, I apologize. It never rained. When I made the…[Read more]

Shooters, I just received texts from two other shooters not coming so I am going to go ahead and call the March match scheduled tomorrow at Reese Bottom. From those that I have heard from, the most we could end up with would be six to ten shooters. If you know of anyone planning to attend, please give them a call or text to save them the trip.…[Read more]

I guess we will see how accurate the weather channel is with their forecasting. As of
9 pm, we have not had a lot of rain but they are calling for rain just before daylight. I will try to get up around 5 am and make a call. If you remember, last year it rained on the Friday before the match like 4 or 5 months in a row. Maybe we will catch a…[Read more] -

The nice weather forecast has turned iffy. If anything changes, I will post it here. I need for three or four of you good shooters to bring your spotting scopes and maybe a shooting stool or two. Remind Champion Sniper about the radios. Hope to see many of you on Saturday at Reese Bottom. WWE
