Wynne Echols replied to the topic March 2017 Mid Range Prone Match in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 3 months ago
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]

Al, wake yourself up and come on to Reese Bottom. Good idea and not all that expensive. Have you ever experimented with different spring tensions or is there a standard? Hope to see you soon. WWE

Saturday March 18, 2017 Reese Bottom will be hosting a mid range prone match. The only difference from any other mid range prone match ever held at Reese Bottom will be the $15 entry fee. $5 for expenses and $10 to the winners. Please try to arrive by 8 am so that we can hopefully be shooting by 9 am. Please bring your own drinks and snacks,…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Neck Tension ? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 3 months ago
Brad, the reason that I mentioned to be careful with things wet. Last year for a bench rest match, I rubbed some imperial wax on my bullets before I seated them and when I shot them during the match at 500 yards several of them bounced off the ground at about 475 yards. It was very hot that day and this was the only thing that I could think of…[Read more]

Brad, great to hear from you. I hope all is well and that we see you soon at Reese Bottom. Thanks for posting the above information. From my experience, be very careful with anything wet during the reloading process. Come see us, WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Most important fundamental or tip for great shooting! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 3 months ago
I’ll say. For me, consistent reloading techniques. I try hard but my efforts often create problems that unfortunately are not discovered until shooting begins at the match. Let’s see, I have mashed bullets out of their personality, flaired the end of brass so that it would not chamber, let wax get to the powder and form a glob, and now I think…[Read more]

Reference was made to maybe how sanctioned matches are scored. I am going to attach a page from the results of the 2016 World Open held each year just out of Williamsport, PA.{pa.1000yard.com} I have shot this match on two occasions and have also shot the IBS 1000 Yard Nationals twice. I looked and cannot find the results from the IBS match…[Read more]

Are you talking about this same DL that won the ‘gunny pot’? WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Neck Tension ? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 3 months ago
20#-30# = 50 cents
20#-25# or 30#-35# = Priceless
I would think that a good shooter could work with either of those spreads. Now my
35# – 100# creates a whole different set of problems. I plan to soon abandon my squeaky clean necks and head in your direction. I will see if I can notice anything worth reporting. Hope to see you soon, WWE -

Why no reports from Gabriel Creek?

Wynne Echols replied to the topic March winds are comming in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 3 months ago
Somebody lied to you or did they. Don Lewis told me that he took a very slow moving .308 caliber bullet and aimed it just enough into the wind that the wind moved the said bullet very close to the center ‘X’ and he was handsomely rewarded. Simple, WWE

Ben, The wife and I are home so I am on the computer and here I come with an answer. Let me begin by saying that I would love to hug your neck for asking or referencing to a legitimate question or idea on the forums and I would certainly hope that some of the other good shooters would join in with their thoughts.

Thank you Brett and Al for this information. All of you good shooters and reloaders, there is something to learn here. I have actually been using a very different approach with failing results. I have been wet tumbling my brass in stainless steel media and believe me, it is clean, and it is pretty. But it ain’t doing good. I have had another…[Read more]

I just looked back through the photos and the thing that caught my attention is how many of you different good shooters won small group prizes. Congrats everyone. The .308/.223 division was also very competitive with a dozen or so shooters. We need to recruit us several more Open Bi-Pod shooters and the divisions would be pretty much…[Read more]

I was wondering if achieving consistent neck tension was an issue with any of you good shooters. I seem to be having issues and am looking for new ideas and techniques. All comments are appreciated. WWE

Thanks guys for all of the kind words. Looks like I am not going to have many essays to grade. Just do not understand why so many are so hesitant to comment. I owe a public apology. Ms. Lauren mentioned to me during the match Saturday that it was Chase’s birthday and I totally forgot. Sorry, at least he got his photo on the front of this…[Read more]

Good morning to all. Reese Bottom has created it’s own divisions and scoring system and you good shooters have never questioned things so I assume that you are all okay with everything. We divide our rifles into three divisions and crown an overall winner in each division. Two of the divisions are shot from a bi pod and a rear bag and the…[Read more]
