Something that I forgot to mention in the post above. Many of you register for our matches several days in advance and I thank you. We often do not know that far ahead of our matches what the weather might be like. I am asking that if there is any doubt about the weather the day of the match that you, as a registrant, please check here before…[Read more]

We hope all is well with everyone and that you all are getting things ready for a great year of shooting. I have updated the ‘Events Page’ with this year’s dates. Nothing has changed for this year other than the dates. Several good shooters have gotten out of the habit of shooting. You know who they are and if you happen to see any of them,…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Who is getting ready? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 1 year, 3 months ago
Barry, looking forward to getting started in the new year. Going to put a new barrel on the .308 and hopefully shoot some FTR. My only shooting has been at a mama hog. Good to get her, bad she had 11 little ones. I hope that everyone has had a wonderful holiday season and is ready to get back to shooting. The third Saturday in February will…[Read more]

Surrell, I shot 21 leftover rounds last Monday. The Garmin had them leaving at 3005 fps avg. and Shotmarker had them arriving at 1000 yards at 1540 fps avg. Don’t forget that your rig and mine might not be exactly the same. Good luck. WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Last target in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 1 year, 4 months ago
I am not a good one to be talking about conditions, but I do know that things often change quickly at Reese Bottom. I also think that a good shooter has to make the best of his situation during his relay time. At most ranges, shooters in a division all shoot their relays at the same time. At Reese Bottom with only the four targets, shooters in…[Read more]

Good to read these off season topics on the website. Keep up the good work. I hope all is well with you good shooters and Suze and I wish you a Very Merry Christmas. We are getting a new Bartlein 5R barrel for the .308. Going to give N150 powder a try. I read a recent post by a fellow that won the FTR division at some national match using…[Read more]

I forgot to bring up the Alpha brass that you mentioned. Someone told me that the case dimensions are a little different than most reamers and if someone is going to shoot Alpha brass they might want to pair it with an Alpha reamer. You can inform the forum later as to how this works out. The Lapua BR brass has to be reformed for the dasher,…[Read more]

Surrell, I will tell you more after I shoot these left over bullets thru the crony. Was fixing to go to Reese Bottom and shoot them but it has clouded up and I wanted to shoot them in a heavy marage. I can say this. I am right there with Ron on his data except I do shoot Lapua brass. As for Varget, I have two different lot numbers that are…[Read more]

Fellows, when I logged into the Reese Bottom website tonight to announce the November shoot, something has gone wrong with one of the plugins. It is the plugin responsible for screening who does what on the page. The last time someone breached the site, they sent out some trash. Just beware and if you get something strange, I would delete it.…[Read more]

I think it is incredible at how well many of you scored on the third target Saturday. Please tell me how you were able find the 10 ring so easily. WWE
Also, please remember our good shooters that are dealing with health issues. Jessie Smith, Richard Allen, and Michael Powell for sure all come to mind.

Wynne Echols started the topic October Long Range Prone Match Results in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 1 year, 6 months ago
Well, it was a beautiful October day in Alabama. But, beautiful days do not guarantee good shooting conditions. I thought the third target was the worst that I had ever aimed at. Tried to adjust the scope but could never determine a scoring ring to hold off on. With ‘The Big Red Clock’ ticking, I decided to send an experimental shot or two…[Read more]
