Wynne Echols started the topic July Match plus the Rest of the Year !! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 6 years, 8 months ago
On July 20, 2019 Reese Bottom will host a bench rest match. Last month the shooters chose to shoot 2/5 shot targets at 300 yards and 2/5 shot targets at 500 yards, all at paper targets. I will talk more about this next week.
I am going to announce the remainder of the 2019 shooting season at Reese Bottom so that you good shooters can plan your…[Read more]

Your comment about clearing the sighters before the record is one of the questions I asked Adam and there is a way. Takes about two seconds. WWE

Surrell, I tend to agree with you on the size of the tables. I have thought about overlaying a piece of 3/4″ plywood to the concrete top. I might try one and see how it works out. I actually had to alter the front leg on my front rest and I am still all the way from back to front on the concrete tables. The two wooden benches are bigger. That…[Read more]

Brett, during the first three matches using the e-targets we have left the network open which would allow anyone connected to do anything within the system. So, yes, someone on their phone could affect things. If that is what actually happened, we will chalk it up to the learning curve. I will check in to this further as we go along. WWE

Okay good shooters, I would like for everyone that shot this past Saturday to be honest about what you think of the first bench rest match shot with the E-Targets. I am committed to making this work and to be honest, there is not much written by others about their experiences. In other words all of this is fairly new. I came home with a few…[Read more]

Thank you to Steve Gilley for furnishing the conecuh sausage and deer sausage that we all enjoyed for breakfast. Thanks also for the bench that will be used at future matches. WWE

Well we were able to pull it off without too big of a mess. Thanks to all that came and made the match such a great success. We are all learning something new with the e-targets each month. I for one have a long way to go. Please check out the Home page, the Photo page, and the Results page for updated info. Thanks to all that were willing to…[Read more]

“Once again, I am asking you good shooters to register for the match. Need to know caliber and rest type. I will allow a good shooter to shoot two different rifles as long as they are in different divisions.”
The above was copied and pasted from the topic announcing the June Match.
Ben, glad to see you returning to Reese Bottom. Been a while…[Read more]

A little birdie just told me that Richard Allen did something this morning that has never been done before. He shot sub 1″ groups back to back at Brock’s Gap this morning. They shoot four/five shot targets all at 520 yards. Congratulations Richard. I sure hope that the combination of etargets and 600 yards throws him a curve next weekend. lol WWE

New shooter David McDowell from the Mobile area emailed and said was coming with his 6mmBR and a mechanical rest. Look forward to meeting David. That is #22 leaving 6 open spots. WWE

Richard Allen called. Will be shooting 6mmBR in the mechanical rest division. That makes 21 rifles. 7 spots remaining and 7 days remaining to get registered. WWE
Yes Mr Lewis you can shoot and cook. Actually, cooking just might be part of the Reese Bottom surprise. Does anyone have any deer sausage that the wife is ready to get out of the freezer?

On the above target, S1 and S2 were sighter shots and then the five record shots are numbered. The system determines that the five shots formed a 1.82 inch group and scored and 50 with 2 X’s. I really think we can learn to like this thing. Do forget, Reese Bottom has a surprise waiting. WWE

Well, you cannot claim that I did not warn you. Now that is what I call a registration. We have 14 good shooters signed up 12 days before the match. Should be a good one. Please help spread the word as there are several spots left. You all know that this will be our first attempt at shooting a bench rest match and letting the Shotmarker…[Read more]

Richard, this will be our first try at bench rest + e-targets. Here is the plan. Each rifle will go to the bench two different times and shoot two record targets during each trip. The first trip before the first target, we will take five minutes or so to let each good shooter fire as many as needed to find the virtual ‘X’. We will then have a…[Read more]
