Looking over the results this morning, I notice that a couple of scores on the mechanical 500 yard targets got reversed. They are correct, but in the wrong column, and should not change the totals at all. There are a couple of blanks in some ‘X’ columns which should have been ‘0’. First bench match of the year and I was a little rusty in more…[Read more]

For information purposes only: targets 401 and 501 were 5 shot targets and targets 402 and 502 were 10 shot targets. Also, the new overall scoring system gives more weight to the group size than it does to the score total.

The results are now up on the ‘Results’ page. Things are a little different because I could not get the new information to stack like it used to. Everything on the page is a photo so click to enlarge. I also published a couple more groups of random photos on the ‘Photo’ page. Good to see everyone yesterday. Please promote our shoots and…[Read more]

Allen, it is truly amazing how well people are now shooting. Five years ago, a 4+ group would have been competitive at 500 yards, but not anymore. Glad to hear that your weather is now allowing you good shooters to get to the range. Rain has been a problem around here. I hope that the dasher continues to shoot better and your day will come.…[Read more]

Please tell us more about your trip to Pascagoula. WWE

Bob, first off, I am glad that you fellows have found your way to Reese Bottom and thanks for joining the forums. Your photo and comment above are exactly what this forum needs, so thank you. Please help me find topics that will pull comments out of other good shooters and forum members. Your scores got better with each target and I was most…[Read more]

Steve, one more comment. I had a spotting scope set up looking at the 450 yard flag and I still cannot figure out what I am looking at or for. WWE

Thanks Steve. Everyone be sure and check the ‘Results’ page for a listing of today’s winners[and losers]. Sorry, we did not get any random photos today. The Canon locked up taking pictures of the winners. There were several first time visitors to Reese Bottom today and everyone left about 4″ taller than they arrived. One guy said “you weren’t…[Read more]

Allen, Mr. Gardner has mentioned that he adjust his loads .1 grain for each 10 degrees of change. The info above says that you are on to something good. I hesitate to compare loads because of all of the variables[barrel length, primers, neck tension, jam vs jump, etc] You are definitely close. I remember you and me talking at the world open…[Read more]

Friday morning about 8:30 am. Reese Bottom is under cloudy skies and the weather channel app is saying 20% chance today and 0% chance tomorrow so I am going out on a limb and say we are good to go. We had about 2 1/2 inches of rain Monday night and it has rained everyday since then but we have had less than 1 inch of accumulation. The grass is…[Read more]

Allen, good to hear from you. I will tell you like I told Mr. Gardner last week, ya’ll need to pack up and move south. He was saying how bad the wind had been blowing in PA. Here are my two cents on your post. For you long range shooters, the conditions are going to have as much or more effect than the load and for us slow shooters that will…[Read more]

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday, I was able to do some bush hogging at Reese Bottom. Today, water was everywhere. We will shoot if at all possible, but one thing for sure, it will be wet. If anything changes, I will post as soon as possible but we are planning to shoot if not raining. WWE

Guys, I am asking that there be no[0] shooting before the match next Saturday. My son and nephew are in full turkey chase right now and I have promised no shooting until 9:00 am. Thanks, WWE
