Wynne Echols started the topic March 2023 Long Range Prone Match in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 3 years, 3 months ago
Sorry to be a few days late mentioning the March match but I have had a lot going on. The March match will be run the same as the previous month’s match. 3 X 20 X 1000. Plans are to take a max of twenty good shooters. I also plan to make only four bench spots available. With twenty shooters registered, we would be looking at five times three…[Read more]

Great to see everyone today to kick off a new season at Reese Bottom. I have updated the Home Page and the Results Page. The camera battery died so we do not have the usual group of random photos. Kip tried but he said when he took a picture of Ron everything went dark. Congrats to Chase and Barry for the W’s. Chase even gave himself a…[Read more]

Check out the time and date. Going to be wetter than I thought. If you are traveling in a two wheel drive vehicle, stay on the rocks in the drive, we will work around you. There is a little larger rock pad across from the porta potty. Off limits to four wheel drives. Might not be a bad idea for someone to bring a tow rope. WWE

We need to expand the conversation about the pairs matches. I honestly never considered this a team match, only something different. To everyone wanting to pick your partner, do you want an open division + ftr division or mixed rifles? I’m thinking one or the other.
I will never agree for anyone to be left out, but me, so we have to allow for…[Read more] -

Richard and Brett thanks for the comments. What I thought was a mass email turns out to be a public notice to those that log onto the website. I hope that when you logged on the yellow notice appeared across the page. I am trying to reach all of the good shooters that have gotten out of the habit of attending the matches and invite them back.…[Read more]

I just tried to send a group email to all the forum members. I have not done this lately and hopefully it went as intended. If any of you respond to the above, please mention wither or not you got the email so that I can be sure that it went through. Be advised that it is not spam. WWE

Please visit the “Events Page” as I have just updated things for 2023. Before we get into this year’s events, I would like to hear some of your honest thoughts on the way things are done at Reese Bottom. What do you think about the ‘Pairs Matches’? 40 shots vs 60 shots? The way we run the relays? What we have to eat? How much we charge to…[Read more]

Merry Christmas to all of you good shooters from Suze and me. We hope that your stockings are filled with new things and especially reloading components. Take good care of yourselfs during these frigid temps.
I was notified two days ago that a new person had registed for the forum. It was a gmail address and I did not think much about it.…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Hectic Week Around Here !! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 3 years, 6 months ago
I figured out what I messed up to create the big number. The 143 gn Hornady bullet was not in the app database and I did not think to enter a value for BC. Once I did that the program generated a realistic number. Live and Learn. WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Hectic Week Around Here !! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 3 years, 6 months ago
The bullet that the good shooter claimed to be in the factory ammo is not in the program database. I just went back into the app database and selected a listed bullet and entered it as a substitute. The app then listed the elevation as 28.4 moa., or half the previous calculation. Guess it’s better to shoot database projectiles, or to have some i…[Read more]

You fellows have really made me proud this week. I have come home each night and kept up with all that has been talked about.

Steve, there is a 50 gallon barrel over there that would do for a fire pit. The old stove has rusted out. Maybe a dozen pieces or so should get us by. Thanks, WWE

Let’s agree to close registration for the November Long Range Prone Match. We have nine good shooters in the Open class and eight good shooters in the FTR class. Please try to be here by 8 am and we will get things going as soon as possible. I will have some food and drinks. Planning to fry some catfish for lunch. Also, for those interested,…[Read more]

As of Wednesday night around 8 pm we have 17 good shooters signed up for the match. There is a good split between divisions. Registration closes at 7 pm tomorrow night but I would like to hold the number to no more than twenty. That leaves three spots open so if interested do not wait to register. WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Some Rambling Thoughts in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 3 years, 7 months ago
Sic ‘um Richard. Here are a few more rambling thoughts. I just opened the Shotmarker archives from this past month and looked at my three targets. The scores 199, 197, 196 got progressively worse which tells me that as the conditions get worse, so does my ability to read the condition. But the thing that I was interested in was, how bad were my…[Read more]

Steve Gilley’s comment in the other thread saying that the good shooters at Reese Bottom really seem to be upping their game got me to thinking. The scores would prove that to be true. As I have stated before, I want to see everyone that shoots the matches at Reese Bottom come to compete by shooting well, not just come to shoot. While running…[Read more]
