  • Richard, your wet feet could have been avoided if some of these guys had told you to wear chest waders instead of slip ons. They will tell you a little bit about everything but not much about nothing so watch them closely. So glad you came and shot and as Kenneth mentioned above, you will quickly become more comfortable and also learn something…[Read more]

  • Not even thinking about the plates at 300 yards yesterday because of all the mud splatter, but I cannot seem to equate my plate zero or point of impact on the plate to the target. I was very pleased with how little vertical I had in the groups at 400 and 500 yards. My slow shooting seemed to have allowed the breezes to spread the group out…[Read more]

    For a fellow with a sore neck, how do you stand all of that recoil? If ya’ll keep throwing bigger pieces of lead down range, we will end up having to turn Reese Bottom into a bowling alley. Just kidding, there does seem to be a lot of new bullets on the market. WWE

  • 2018 at Reese Bottom got off to a great start this morning with 21 rifles competing in the three different divisions. Be sure to see the home page, photos page, and results page. Enjoyed shooting with everyone and hope that everyone made it home okay. Thanks to all that were so willing to help today and a special thanks for some fine deer…[Read more]

    I played golf this afternoon in Demopolis and it drizzled on us all afternoon. Much to my surprise, when I got home it had not rained a drop. If we are lucky, we might have missed this rain but believe me, the bottom is soaking wet. Suze and I just took a load of stuff to the shooting shed…[Read more]

  • I also see Mr. Dan Gunter sporting a new avatar. Welcome back Addison’s dad. Hope to see y’all soon at Reese Bottom. Spring time must be coming soon, the shooters are beginning to stir. WWE

  • Mr. Richard Slaton, I would like to give you a big thank you for your support of the forum and I would also like to see you bring your stuff to Reese Bottom and shoot with us. It is my understanding that you only shoot pistols but I am sure that we can work something up. If what we do is something that is of interest to you, please get with me…[Read more]

  • Well shoot week is finally here. Hopefully the weather will co operate and we will get to shoot. She the details above. Fellows it is raining as I write this and it will be very wet if we do not get anymore rain between now and Saturday. Again, if there are any changes to the shoot I will post them here on the forum. Assuming that things are…[Read more]

  • On Saturday February 17, 2018 Reese Bottom will be hosting the first match of the 2018 shooting season. The match will be shot from the benches with 30 shots for record. 10 @ 300 yards, 10 @ 400 yards, and 10 @ 500 yards. We will run this match just has we have bench rest matches in the past. We will divide the rifles into the same three…[Read more]

  • Larry, Hogs are like snow. One is better off having to travel afar to see it or them. WWE

  • Daryl, when these hogs go to running, I go to shooting so the hog must not be in the center of the scope because I have not killed one running yet.

    Fellows, Daryl has not been spending all of his time chasing hogs, he sent me this picture of a fine swamp buck he killed recently. Said something about there being an ‘X’ ring on the deer’s…[Read more]

  • Kenneth, we are all very proud of you and your good shooting. You have come a long way in a very short time. Congrats on the soy prize at Brock’s Gap. I had actually planned to ride up there last month, but I wimped out when the weather got bad. I will shoot the loaded ammo next month at Reese Bottom. Did not play attention and loaded rounds…[Read more]

  • Rode back on the farm this afternoon. Actually saw two nice bucks in different places while riding around. Shot the hog on the left on the back side of the place about 5:30 with a Remington AR 15. There were three that came out together. I can do pretty good with the first one but when the others get to running all I do is cut up some dust. I…[Read more]

  • Larry, thanks for your interest in making this happen. We will be talking more about this the closer we get to September. WWE

  • Those visiting the website are encouraged to check out the schedule for 2018 posted on the ‘Events Page’. Things will remain basically the same other than we will schedule a .22 match for June and also dedicate the September Mid Range Prone Match as a team match. The .22 match in June will follow the regular bench rest match and I would love to…[Read more]

  • Great to hear from so many of you good shooters. I hope all is well with you and look forward to another year of shooting with everybody at Reese Bottom. Kenneth, I would like to rework several of the target backers this year, but now is not the time. People are hunting there regularly and it is so wet that we would do more harm than good. We…[Read more]

  • Brent, I was in no hurry. Thought maybe a few more might comment on some possible changes. We will not shoot until the third Saturday of February. Let’s plan for the February match to be a bench rest match and let’s go with three, ten shot targets. One at 300 yards, one at 400 yards, and one at 500 yards. Pretty sure the bottom will still be…[Read more]

  • Kenneth, thanks for your support of Reese Bottom. I understand what you mean saying that it is fun to have a shooting buddy. It is also no fun talking to yourself on this forum. lol. Surely some of the guys got a new toy for Christmas. If they are now willing to brag about it, I guess we will just have to act surprised when it shows up at…[Read more]

  • Kenneth, my thinking here is all about Reese Bottom and trying to do something a little different from time to time. Anyone could enter, but my main interest would be on the shooters that attend regularly. Kind of a change of pace for those that participate. Lets say we were going to have a two man team bench rest match and lets say the team…[Read more]
