Ben, we will only go to the bench once for this match. We will have short cold periods before we begin to shoot foulers for the next target. Good luck if ya’ll decide to go this Saturday. WWE

Bar 3 Shooting Range in Laurel, MS has canceled the scheduled 1000 yard IBS sanctioned Matches 1 & 2 this Saturday due to construction problems caused by wet weather. I was asked earlier today to pass this along.
Doug Pugh and I actually shot some this morning up on top of the hill. Doug said this was the first time he had shot 1000 yards and I…[Read more]

Ben, I will gladly try to accomodate you with this, but it will take some preparation. My first comment from what I have seen is that you have plenty of rifle, but do you have enough rifle scope. Steve was shooting a much lighter bullet, but from a 200 yard zero he was adding approx. 76 moa of elevation and not many scopes will do that. Trying…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic March 2017 @ Reese Bottom in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 10 months ago
Anyone have any thoughts or comments from the match yesterday? I thought that we got off to a rough start with our shooter/scorer communication. Without accurate results, it is difficult to have an legitimate competition and I noticed several discrepancies throughout the match. By the end of most matches, the top shooters are going to be…[Read more]

I typed for 10 minutes last night and do not see my post. I must have exited without hitting the submit button. Anyway, there is still a chance for showers tomorrow but there is more of a chance that it will not rain. We will see. I have a couple of request. Reese Bottom is damp, esp. in front of the firing line so please park before you get…[Read more]

Great News!! We ask shooters to hold it to 7 on the first relay and 2 on relay 2 & 3 for time sake. We have been known to bend the rules if someone has trouble with their zero. WWE

Ben, it appears the rain chances are going down each day. As a young boy, we only got one channel[Meridian] and the weather man’s name was Bob Holland. Every night his forecast for the next day would be clear to partly cloudy with a chance of rain[no way to miss] and I bet he will be right Saturday. If anything changes, I will post it here, but…[Read more]

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Neck Tension ? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 10 months ago
Brad, the reason that I mentioned to be careful with things wet. Last year for a bench rest match, I rubbed some imperial wax on my bullets before I seated them and when I shot them during the match at 500 yards several of them bounced off the ground at about 475 yards. It was very hot that day and this was the only thing that I could think of…[Read more]

Brad, great to hear from you. I hope all is well and that we see you soon at Reese Bottom. Thanks for posting the above information. From my experience, be very careful with anything wet during the reloading process. Come see us, WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Most important fundamental or tip for great shooting! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 8 years, 10 months ago
I’ll say. For me, consistent reloading techniques. I try hard but my efforts often create problems that unfortunately are not discovered until shooting begins at the match. Let’s see, I have mashed bullets out of their personality, flaired the end of brass so that it would not chamber, let wax get to the powder and form a glob, and now I think…[Read more]
