Wynne Echols started the topic Reese Bottom, Who Wins?? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 6 years, 11 months ago
There was a great opportunity from today that should better help the shooters that frequent Reese Bottom understand how the spreadsheet determines who wins. See the results of the first three shooters in the March Mechanical Division. Look to the far right. The spreadsheet averages the 4 groups and totals the 4 scores and ranks the results…[Read more]

Okay, we have updated the webpage with the results from the March bench rest match held at Reese Bottom. Kinda windy and overcast and also very wet but all in all we had a good rifle match. The three divisions were all well represented but still have room for a few more shooters. We had new shooters and new stuff. Richard brought brownies,…[Read more]

Friday morning, the day before report. It flooded here yesterday afternoon and has rained a little this morning. I’m thinking the creek probably got over the shooting tables. Will check this morning. The weather channel app says it is about over and out of here. We will plan to go forward with the match as planned. It will be very wet and…[Read more]

Well, the bottom got re wetted today. This weather is getting to be something. Please pray for the families that lost loved ones from the storms earlier today in east Alabama. Please remember that we will be shooting from the benches again this month. The guns will be divided as always and the match will be similar to the match last month. We…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic February 2019 Results are in !!! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 7 years ago
The .223/.308 division has become well represented but we sure could use at least four or five more shooters in both the open bi pod and mechanical divisions. Any good shooters out there willing to commit? Next month will be Benchrest also with 30 record shots plus fouler. Make plans now to attend the March match. WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic February 2019 Results are in !!! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 7 years ago
I just noticed that the results of the match yesterday are not very well explained. We divided the rifles into three divisions and each division shot two five shot targets at 300 yards and two five shot targets at 500 yards. 1 & 2 were at 300 yards and 3 & 4 were at 500 yards. See the ‘Results Page’. WWE

Be sure and look around the website, there is new content on the home, photo, and results pages. Flickr just made me subscribe to upload the photos. Said I had exceeded the free limit. Thanks to all that weathered the muddy mess that is Reese Bottom. We had thirteen good shooters in the three divisions with the majority being .308’s. We were…[Read more]

Well here is what I know. Something has fallen for the last couple of hours. Not rain but a fine mist. Anyway, it is wet. The weather channel app is calling for rain before day but then the chance backs off. We will shoot if at all possible. You are welcome to call the cell [334-654-2462] after 6 am if there is doubt. This is what I know,…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic The Road into the Farm in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 7 years ago
I have spent time today working on the road. The road bed is sandy and it is supposed to rain between now and then but hopefully we will be okay. I did create a speed bump to try to divert the water so slow down when leaving the asphalt.
I have been asked about calling the match Saturday. We will plan to shoot unless it is raining Saturday…[Read more]

Please be advised that the road into the farm has washed because of all the recent rain. Just beyond where the pavement ends there is a gas line exposed in the middle of the road. I went over there tonight and put a cone in the middle of the road so please look for the cone and the wash and dodge it. Sure hope the rain cuts us some slack for…[Read more]

Richard, I talked with Adam, the Shotmarker guy, at the shot show and asked him the same question. His answer was yes it will measure group sizes, but!! He said that several match directors of sanctioned matches said that they did not trust his measurements. He admitted that his measurement could be a couple of millimeters off. I suggest that…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic Thoughts on 1000 Yards in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 7 years ago
I wanted to throw this out there and see if any of you would comment. Do any of you good shooters have any experience shooting out to 1000 yards? If so, what do you think? As you know, we have recently cleared the range out to a possible 1000 yards. Still a lot of work to do, but probably achievable before the summer is out. Please respond to…[Read more]

We just completed rebuilding the target backers at 300 yards and 500 yards. That will allow us to shoot the February match as planned from the benches. The match will be on Saturday February 16, 2019. We will shoot two different five shot targets at 300 yards and move out and do the same at 500 yards. Twenty record shots plus foulers. We will…[Read more]

Richard, I did a lot of looking and a small amount of buying. I actually bought myself a pair of ceramic ear plugs and a knife sharpening system. I was fortunate to get to spend an hour or so with Adam from Canada. He is the guy that I purchased the Shotmarker electronic targets from. That show is unbelievable. WWE

Thought about you today. This place is well attended by law enforcement and many of them have dogs on leash the same breed as your younger dog.
