Just a reminder, if anyone is interested, there will be 4 IBS sanctioned matches held at the Bar 3 range in Laurel, MS. this Saturday and Sunday. Two matches each day. The Sunday matches were canceled last month so I would check before I traveled. WWE

For those that have ever shot out to 1000 yards, this feat has to be amazing. This 10 shot group is being touted as a new 1000 yard scoring record. The way that I understand the scoring is that there have been lots of other 100’s, but this is the smallest group size to go with the 100. I am also posting the shooter’s comments to let everyone…[Read more]

A strange thing happened today at Reese Bottom. We had twenty one good shooters register for the May Mid Range Prone match and all but four shooters were able to finish all three relays before the rains came. I do not have any results to report because the good shooters grabbed their score sheets and ran for the exit. Several of us could not…[Read more]

Can any of you good shooters figure out where the ‘X’ is? WWE

Found these two pair of glasses laying on shooting tables today after everyone had left. Whose are they? WWE

I had a great time with the good shooters at the Bar 3 Range yesterday over in Laurel, Ms. Actually won 3 relays but could not get it done in the shoot offs. Those guys are very good shooters. The Bar 3 Range is a very nice facility and Daryl Jones did a great job running the matches. The range is a two hour drive from Reese Bottom, to give…[Read more]

On Saturday May 20, 2017, Reese Bottom will host a mid range prone match. I will put up more details within a few days but nothing will change from the way we have done things in the past. Please be advised that this will be the last mid range prone match until September due to the rising temps. We will plan to shoot from the benches for the…[Read more]

I have been in touch with the fellows at Bar 3 today and they are planning on hosting 4 sanctioned IBS 1000 yard bench rest matches this weekend. Two on Saturday and two on Sunday. Each match will have a light gun and a heavy gun division. Registration will close at 8:30 each day. A shooter can shoot the matches without being an IBS member,…[Read more]

I have been asked the question of how does the Reese Bottom spreadsheet determine the ‘Score Winner’ when there is a tie. Unlike F-Class shooting where ties are broken by the highest ‘X’ count, I have elected to let the tie be broken by the smallest group of those with a tie score. I found an example of this from this past weekend at Reese…[Read more]

Britt Jones, owner and operator, of Backwater Custom Rifles has recently purchased a computerized milling machine that he hopes will allow him to do a lot of custom work rifle parts in the shop in Livingston, Alabama. Britt was showing me a couple of items today that he has recently completed. See the photos below of a Remington bolt that has…[Read more]

I have posted the results from the match today on the ‘Result Page’. Remember to click to enlarge. I apologize for the opening photo, but the fellow has gotten his act together as of late and we are all proud for the ‘Champion Sniper’ and his support of Reese Bottom. I have also updated the ‘Home Page’ and the random photos taken today are in…[Read more]
