Ran up on this little fellow today not too far from Reese Bottom. Seemed to like marshmallows better than pig’s feet. WWE

How about that loose nut mentioned above? What size wrench needed, and which way would I need to turn? Just asking, WWE

Kenneth, I’ll throw this out there for what it is worth. My first bench rest rifle was a Savage ‘out of the box’ rifle with the accue-trigger. I was so proud of that rifle. Well the first time we were going to shoot it, several of us went to Reese Bottom and put the thing on the table and a friend was going to be the first to shoot it. I think…[Read more]

Monday morning, 10/17/16. Britt called this morning to tell me that he had heard from Mr. Richard Allen’s son and that Mr. Richard did have his heart surgery last week and that he is now at home doing well. We all wish him a full, speedy, recovery. WWE

Thanks Al. I sure wish that several of you would offer up your reflections of the match yesterday. Overall, I thought the conditions for shooting were fairly good. I know that 600 yards is a long way also, but I thought that as a whole we all did a very lousy job of centering up on our targets. I was just looking at the results and noticed…[Read more]

Reese Bottom hosted a 600 yard bench rest match on Saturday October 15. Twenty good shooters enjoyed a pleasant fall day and some fairly good shooting conditions. Everyone enjoyed a hot fried catfish sandwich for lunch. There are a few photos from today posted on the ‘Photos’ page and the results are posted on the ‘Results’ page. I mentioned…[Read more]

The Mrs. and I have just returned home after a week at the beach. We were amazed to be so close to the hurricane and yet have such beautiful weather. Anyway, glad to be home. Please remember that next Saturday, 15th, Reese Bottom will host a 600 yard bench rest match. This will be a 4 target, 5 record shots on each, all shot at 600 yards. We…[Read more]

On Saturday October 15, 2016 Reese Bottom will host a true 600 yard bench rest match. We will have 10″ plates set up in front of the target backers to sight in on. The record match will be 4 – 5 shot targets all at 600 yards on official IBS 600 yard targets. We will go from the plates to a sight in target with spotters and then directly to the…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic Where did You Shoot ? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 9 years, 3 months ago
I am starting this topic and will pin it to the top of the forum so that you good shooters can find it easily. This past Saturday, I asked Larry L. to keep us posted when he shot other places and he suggested that we start a topic so that other shooters could report in also. This forum begs for content so please, please help with this. If you…[Read more]

Be sure a check out the updated ‘home’ page. I have written a new blog related to my experience this past Saturday and I also created two new videos from a recent trip that Steve Gilley and I took to the IBS 1000 Yard National Benchrest Match held in Swainsboro, GA. This got me to thinking. Why is Mr. Gilley the star in all of the recent Reese…[Read more]

Finally got a copy of this photo. It was supposedly captured by one of the hunter’s game cameras on the farm back during the summer. The feeder is located about 100 yards from a large creek. For those of you that have shot at Reese Bottom, the event took place about 2 miles directly behind the 600 yard targets. The photo before this one…[Read more]

Well, I was informed after the match yesterday that the rain shower that soaked us in the pits stalled at the 400 yard target and gave the shooters time to run for cover. Goes to show that 600 yards is a long way and life often catches you at the wrong end of the range. Several first time shooters yesterday. Amazing to see how well they can all…[Read more]

Steve, good to see you on the forum again. All that I did was reset the password. I did all of that on my Ipad. Great shooting yesterday and I hope that you will keep us filled in on the progress of your next match in LA. Good luck and we all look forward to having a possible ‘high master’ shooting with us country boys at Reese Bottom. WWE
