Wynne Echols started the topic IBS Match in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 12 months ago
I have been in touch with the fellows at Bar 3 today and they are planning on hosting 4 sanctioned IBS 1000 yard bench rest matches this weekend. Two on Saturday and two on Sunday. Each match will have a light gun and a heavy gun division. Registration will close at 8:30 each day. A shooter can shoot the matches without being an IBS member,…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic Scoring Question in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years ago
I have been asked the question of how does the Reese Bottom spreadsheet determine the ‘Score Winner’ when there is a tie. Unlike F-Class shooting where ties are broken by the highest ‘X’ count, I have elected to let the tie be broken by the smallest group of those with a tie score. I found an example of this from this past weekend at Reese…[Read more]

Ben, we will only go to the bench once for this match. We will have short cold periods before we begin to shoot foulers for the next target. Good luck if ya’ll decide to go this Saturday. WWE

Bar 3 Shooting Range in Laurel, MS has canceled the scheduled 1000 yard IBS sanctioned Matches 1 & 2 this Saturday due to construction problems caused by wet weather. I was asked earlier today to pass this along.

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Mile shot club in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years ago
Ben, I will gladly try to accomodate you with this, but it will take some preparation. My first comment from what I have seen is that you have plenty of rifle, but do you have enough rifle scope. Steve was shooting a much lighter bullet, but from a 200 yard zero he was adding approx. 76 moa of elevation and not many scopes will do that. Trying…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic March 2017 @ Reese Bottom in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 1 month ago
Anyone have any thoughts or comments from the match yesterday? I thought that we got off to a rough start with our shooter/scorer communication. Without accurate results, it is difficult to have an legitimate competition and I noticed several discrepancies throughout the match. By the end of most matches, the top shooters are going to be…[Read more]

I typed for 10 minutes last night and do not see my post. I must have exited without hitting the submit button.

Great News!! We ask shooters to hold it to 7 on the first relay and 2 on relay 2 & 3 for time sake. We have been known to bend the rules if someone has trouble with their zero. WWE

Ben, it appears the rain chances are going down each day. As a young boy, we only got one channel[Meridian] and the weather man’s name was Bob Holland. Every night his forecast for the next day would be clear to partly cloudy with a chance of rain[no way to miss] and I bet he will be right Saturday. If anything changes, I will post it here, but…[Read more]
