Wynne Echols replied to the topic March at Reese Bottom in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 1 month ago
As it turns out, Surrell’s suggestion would have worked. After the last four or five years at Reese Bottom, many of you have noticed that my shooting is not very accurate. After yesterday, you now know that I am not good at weather forecasting either. To those of you that had planned to attend, I apologize. It never rained. When I made the…[Read more]

Shooters, I just received texts from two other shooters not coming so I am going to go ahead and call the March match scheduled tomorrow at Reese Bottom. From those that I have heard from, the most we could end up with would be six to ten shooters. If you know of anyone planning to attend, please give them a call or text to save them the trip.…[Read more]

I guess we will see how accurate the weather channel is with their forecasting. As of
9 pm, we have not had a lot of rain but they are calling for rain just before daylight. I will try to get up around 5 am and make a call. If you remember, last year it rained on the Friday before the match like 4 or 5 months in a row. Maybe we will catch a…[Read more] -

I am starting this topic because of the uncertainty of the weather. I have had four regulars call to say they were not shooting so is anyone planning to attend. It is supposed to rain during the night and has drizzled all afternoon. If anything changes, I will try to post on here before 5:30 am tomorrow or you can call me by 6:00 am at…[Read more]

The nice weather forecast has turned iffy. If anything changes, I will post it here. I need for three or four of you good shooters to bring your spotting scopes and maybe a shooting stool or two. Remind Champion Sniper about the radios. Hope to see many of you on Saturday at Reese Bottom. WWE

Chad, I told you to keep quite about this. Now all the F-T-R boys will start practicing and my little 80 gn bullet will fall further behind. The trail camera also showed a third person in the truck. Please do not reveal who it was, he might discourage some from showing up next Saturday. WWE

I forgot to mention that we have purchased a few new Reese Bottom tee shirts. I did not order any smaller sizes. We have a doz. large, doz. X large, 1/2 doz. XX, and 1/2 doz XXX. The cost will be $15 each. They are all the same color grey and we enlarged the bullet and emblem on front and put the website under the target on back. Click the…[Read more]

Reese Bottom will be hosting the first Mid Range Prone Match of 2018 on Saturday March 17, 2018. More details to come. It is getting late and I am tired of typing. WWE

I hope that this response ends up as intended so bare with me. Reese Bottom today is where it is after 4 or 5 years of trial and error. There are probably better alternatives to what we do but might require site modifications that I am not willing to do at this time. I have shot in two IBS National 1000 yard matches and both used clay birds on…[Read more]

Champion Sniper, just reading between the lines, it appears that you are slipping off to other ranges not only to practice, but also to fire form brass and test firing pin springs trying to get a leg up on us poor F-T-R shooters next month at Reese Bottom. Richard, do you think this might be something that ‘The Committee’ needs to address? WWE

Richard, your wet feet could have been avoided if some of these guys had told you to wear chest waders instead of slip ons. They will tell you a little bit about everything but not much about nothing so watch them closely. So glad you came and shot and as Kenneth mentioned above, you will quickly become more comfortable and also learn something…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic What am I doing Wrong? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 2 months ago
Not even thinking about the plates at 300 yards yesterday because of all the mud splatter, but I cannot seem to equate my plate zero or point of impact on the plate to the target. I was very pleased with how little vertical I had in the groups at 400 and 500 yards. My slow shooting seemed to have allowed the breezes to spread the group out…[Read more]
