Here’s the deal. There is a chance for rain tonight and tomorrow. Suze and I just took a load of stuff to Reese Bottom and it is damp, but not unshootable so we will shoot at some time tomorrow so plan to come on. If it is actually raining early, we will wait it out and maybe start a little late. Surely it want rain all day. I will be up by 6…[Read more]

Brett, they have tried to post the results on the IBS website, long range results. I cannot get the links to open. Getting a 404 error. I think that I read where the person responsible for these postings passed away, which caused problems and delays. Should be up and going soon. Not sure why Bar 3 is not posting their results. WWE

Sounding like we will have a very good group of shooters on Saturday. Great to hear that good shooter Al Barr may be present. Click the photo below to view the results from the 1000 yard prone match held at Bar 3 Range in Laurel, MS. Several very familiar names. Sounds like those folks have got it going with the new electronic targets.…[Read more]

Brad, good to hear from you. I’ll be honest, we shot all day last Saturday in the rain and the wind had some lengthy let ups and there was no mirage until about the time I got through shooting so I did not deal with it. I would assume that they will shoot the prone match on the same range and there are wind flags on both sides every 100 yards. I…[Read more]

This is a report of my recent trip to the 1000 yard IBS bench rest matches held at the
Bar 3 range in Laurel, MS. The Bar 3 facility is a very nice place to shoot and Daryl Jones, David Weaver, and Co. do a great job running the matches. This past Saturday they shot matches 7 & 8 and I am not sure how many more they plan to shoot, but they…[Read more] -

Just a reminder, if anyone is interested, there will be 4 IBS sanctioned matches held at the Bar 3 range in Laurel, MS. this Saturday and Sunday. Two matches each day. The Sunday matches were canceled last month so I would check before I traveled. WWE

I forgot to mention that this all took place at the Williamsport, PA range. As many of you know, I have shot there on two different occasions with much less success. The range is on a mountain top and is known for its unkind conditions. WWE

For those that have ever shot out to 1000 yards, this feat has to be amazing. This 10 shot group is being touted as a new 1000 yard scoring record. The way that I understand the scoring is that there have been lots of other 100’s, but this is the smallest group size to go with the 100. I am also posting the shooter’s comments to let everyone…[Read more]

A strange thing happened today at Reese Bottom. We had twenty one good shooters register for the May Mid Range Prone match and all but four shooters were able to finish all three relays before the rains came. I do not have any results to report because the good shooters grabbed their score sheets and ran for the exit. Several of us could not…[Read more]

I had a great time with the good shooters at the Bar 3 Range yesterday over in Laurel, Ms. Actually won 3 relays but could not get it done in the shoot offs. Those guys are very good shooters. The Bar 3 Range is a very nice facility and Daryl Jones did a great job running the matches. The range is a two hour drive from Reese Bottom, to give…[Read more]

Please be advised that this will be the last mid range prone match until September due to the rising temps. We will plan to shoot from the benches for the…[Read more]
