I am sorry, but there is nothing that we can do about the weather. I poured almost 2″ out of the rain gauge this morning and it has rained all afternoon. Make plans to shoot the Mid Range Prone match in April. We will post more info about the match around the first of the month. WWE
ps. If you know of anyone that was planning to attend…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Transonic Effect on Bullet Stability in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 1 month ago
Steve, I think we witnessed this first hand last Monday trying to push those 140 grain Bergers a mile. I still scratch my head at how much that gentle breeze moved that bullet side ways. Don’t think I ever mentioned how much that I enjoyed spending the morning with you and Johnny. Great time and a lot learned.…[Read more]

More or less the same as always. The weather forecast does not look very promising at this time, but we all know that things can change. Reese Bottom is very…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic North Carolina .22 Match in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 1 month ago
I received a phone call last week from forum member Gardner from up in PA. to let me know that he and a buddy were on a 600+ mile road trip to NC to shoot in a 4 day 50 yard .22 match. He said that the match would be held in a couple of chicken houses and that they paid out lots of cash prizes. Well after several days of not hearing from David,…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Gilley's 1 Mile Target in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 1 month ago
Steve, I was thinking today about some of the things that we witnessed yesterday. A 1 mile shot is unchartered waters for all of us and I am convinced that we do not have a clue as to the effects of conditions over that distance. I once had a good shooter suggest to me that a 2″ group at 500 yards would equate to an 8″ group at 1000 yards. This…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Gilley's 1 Mile Target in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 1 month ago
I had an email request this morning asking if I had more footage of Steve actually shooting at a mile so I have added a second video of Steve shooting with Johnny’s help on the ‘Home’ page. Notice how smoothly Steve breaks his shots. Steve says somewhere that he could not believe that it took us six shots to get on the backer. I think that I…[Read more]

Mr. Steve Gilley and Mr. Johnny Pace came to Reese Hill this morning with a mission in mind. To hit a target 1 mile away. I have pieced a video together from this morning and hope to get it up later tonight. Maybe, maybe not, a very large file. We had a 6′ X 8′ backer and a gentle wind from 2 o’clock made it very difficult to hit the backer.…[Read more]

If any of you good shooters go to the ‘Photos’ page to see the photos from the trip to Cool Acres, there is a photo of a group of Mrs. Donna’s awards hanging on a trailer door. Look close at the top right corner and you will see a familiar pin. Reese Bottom goes everywhere. WWE

Steve, good to hear from you and I can assure you that you would have a good time and also shoot well. Go here; http://www.internationalbenchrest.com/ Steve something else that I was aware of but often forget to use is holding the point of aim and dialing to the point of impact.

Many of you know that this past Saturday I had the experience of shooting at Cool Acres with some of the best 1000 yard shooters that IBS has to offer. In the grand scheme of things, I did not fair so well. I did learn something that I am sure many of you know already, but for those interested, I would like to refresh your memory. These…[Read more]

I received this photo today via email. Could not really identify who it came from. All it said was this is my new bench gun and Misters Gilley and Collins better bring their ‘A’ game in March. Glad to be of help?? WWE

Listen up guys, this is a winner speaking and telling secrets. I think that I heard both Steve and Brett say that they were shooting virgin brass. Kinda makes one wonder about spending any extra time fire forming brass. That is unless you want to do something stupid like build a couple of dashers. Good job Steve. WWE
