Wynne Echols replied to the topic September 2016 Mid Range Prone Results in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 7 months ago
Well, I was informed after the match yesterday that the rain shower that soaked us in the pits stalled at the 400 yard target and gave the shooters time to run for cover. Goes to show that 600 yards is a long way and life often catches you at the wrong end of the range. Several first time shooters yesterday. Amazing to see how well they can all…[Read more]

Steve, good to see you on the forum again. All that I did was reset the password. I did all of that on my Ipad. Great shooting yesterday and I hope that you will keep us filled in on the progress of your next match in LA. Good luck and we all look forward to having a possible ‘high master’ shooting with us country boys at Reese Bottom. WWE

Please be advised that the results from the match today are up on the ‘Results’ page. Twenty one good shooters today experienced a little rain delay, but all in all had a fun day of shooting. I am attaching the only photos that were taken today. Sorry. Click to enlarge. Thanks for coming. WWE

Sam, the weather app is calling for 60% chance of rain. Maybe it will wait until later in the day. WWE

Congrats to forum member Allen Shively for his good shooting all summer. Allen sent me a couple of pictures this week of one of his prizes and a very good group that he shot at 1000 yards.

Just a reminder that Reese Bottom will host a mid range prone match this coming Saturday morning. Please try to arrive by 8 am so that we can get things organized and get to shooting. We need for 3 or 4 of you to bring a spotting scope and Surrell if you are coming, please bring the radios. Hope to see many of you good shooters on the 17th.…[Read more]

Yes, very impressive. Mr. Stroup shoots with the guys at Brock’s Gap in B’ham. ‘Rookie’ is somewhat misleading, re. Steve Gilley. I’ll add a little amazement to this feat in a day or so. WWE

Larry, I will try to make this work. Is this something you want to set up during the match, or after. If you are talking about after the match, we can even take it up on the hill and see what it does to 1000 yards. I will do what ever, just do not want it to disrupt the match. I am interested in seeing how well it works. WWE

Well, the IBS stamped Gilley and Echols, non-competitive, packaged them up and sent them home to west Alabama. Enjoyed the event, very well run, really nice range, and lots of fine people. I took some photos and will get them up soon. Thanks Steve, for putting up with me for a couple of days. WWE

Al, it was a tough day for the guys from Reese Bottom. I cannot figure it out for sure. The first 10 shot group was well centered with 7 in the blue, but a 12 + group. The next 5 shot relay two grouped with three together and the other two together 8″ lower. Late this afternoon I had 10 shots go straight up and down for 22 inches. Steve was…[Read more]

Gilley and Echols have arrived in Swainsboro. Six hour uneventful ride towards a hurricane. Arrived after the rain. A few limbs down around town. Passed lots of Alabama Power trucks headed this way. Shooting starts tomorrow morning at 9 am. Approx 85 shooters shooting 3 relays per day. Will try to post our results tomorrow night. Shoot straight, WWE

Al, I will try. Taking the Ipad. It is an Apple product and wordpress is not fond of it. Things may be upside down, but we will try. Troubling to leave home in the sunshine and ride towards a hurricane. My little 105 gn bullet might end up a couple of targets over. WWE

Well, I think it has been April since we last shot a mid range prone match. Looking forward to loading up the .223 and tackling the FTR boys. Looking forward to seeing some different faces for a change. The match is not sanctioned, but we try to keep it as close as possible. 3 X 20 X 600 yards with 7 sighters for 1st relay, and 2 each for relay…[Read more]

Ben, I would contact the range before I went. This is advertised as an F Class Match. I would assume 70 something shots and most ranges do not allow a rifle with a muzzle break. Not sure, but I thought your rifle had a break. Forgive me if I am wrong. Shoot straight. WWE

I just went to the ‘results page’ and noticed that I made a couple of boo boos yesterday. Sorry for the misspelled name and I think I gave out one wrong agg prize. Sarah and Chase please forgive me. The spread sheet threw me a curve in the .223/.308 division and when that happens I get nervous that I might loose the data. I’m sorry, WWE

August was a great month at Reese Bottom with one of the largest crowds ever. Twenty four guns, several new shooters, 4 female shooters, and good conditions. There is a nice 4 X 8 of Brett Collins on the home page, several random photos on the photo page and unfortunately the results are up on the results page. Glad to see so many different…[Read more]

Here is what I know. At 6:30 on Friday afternoon a shower came through Reese Bottom. It will be damp tomorrow, but we should be able to come and go with no problems. There is a 30% chance of rain in the morning, so who knows. We will shoot unless it is flooding. WWE

I was thinking earlier today that we had mentioned possibly holding another .22 match in August after the regular match. How many of you would be interested?
Bush hogged the range today between the showers and noticed that Reese Bottom has developed a rash. Unwanted visitors. See photo. WWE
