Sonny, you are in. Need two more. We have 3 good shooters planning to shoot from the benches so if anyone is out there and cannot shoot prone join the bench guys. WWE

The registration deadline is here and we have 17 good shooters. 11 TR and 6 Open. I would take 3 more to even things at 20 if you know anyone interested. Thanks to all of you that signed up. Look forward to seeing everyone this Saturday. I will have some food and drinks. Dress cool and wear plenty padding. WWE

Crossed paths with Don Lewis this morning at Reese Bottom. He was telling me that Doug Pugh has been helping him tighten up the old .308. I have decided on a load for the new Brux barrel on the .223. The barrel is a 1 X 6.5 twist 30″ long 1.25″ straight. It is a hulk of stainless but seems to set up well. Settled on lapua brass, 24.5 gn…[Read more]

Michael Claunch and I spent the morning shooting at Reese Bottom. We determined that the new shed creates shade but it is not an air conditioner. I was trying to work up a load for the new Brux 6.5 twist 30″, 1.25″ straight .223 barrel. The first lesson learned was that at no time will scales be allowed at Reese Bottom. Probably would take a…[Read more]

For all of you that let the weather scare you off, well, you missed a great opportunity to shoot in the pouring rain. It flooded on the mechanical division, but the shed sure was nice and dry. We had ten good shooters and only two divisions. Lots of winners and some good eating thanks to good cook Michael Claunch. Fried bologna sandwiches for…[Read more]

Friday night, July 19, 8:30 pm. Suze and I just got back from carrying two loads to Reese Bottom. As of this time we have had only a sprinkle. The road in is not the least bit muddy. Not sure what tomorrow will bring. This time of the year the rains are spotty at best. Use your own judgement but as of now things are a go as usual. I’ll be…[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]

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. The two wooden benches are bigger. That is why Mr. Richard always likes to shoot on the wooden bench. WWE

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]
