Gilley and Echols have arrived in Swainsboro. Six hour uneventful ride towards a hurricane. Arrived after the rain. A few limbs down around town. Passed lots of Alabama Power trucks headed this way. Shooting starts tomorrow morning at 9 am. Approx 85 shooters shooting 3 relays per day. Will try to post our results tomorrow night. Shoot straight, WWE

Well, I think it has been April since we last shot a mid range prone match. Looking forward to loading up the .223 and tackling the FTR boys. Looking forward to seeing some different faces for a change. The match is not sanctioned, but we try to keep it as close as possible. 3 X 20 X 600 yards with 7 sighters for 1st relay, and 2 each for relay…[Read more]

I just went to the ‘results page’ and noticed that I made a couple of boo boos yesterday. Sorry for the misspelled name and I think I gave out one wrong agg prize. Sarah and Chase please forgive me. The spread sheet threw me a curve in the .223/.308 division and when that happens I get nervous that I might loose the data. I’m sorry, WWE

August was a great month at Reese Bottom with one of the largest crowds ever. Twenty four guns, several new shooters, 4 female shooters, and good conditions. There is a nice 4 X 8 of Brett Collins on the home page, several random photos on the photo page and unfortunately the results are up on the results page. Glad to see so many different…[Read more]

Here is what I know. At 6:30 on Friday afternoon a shower came through Reese Bottom. It will be damp tomorrow, but we should be able to come and go with no problems. There is a 30% chance of rain in the morning, so who knows. We will shoot unless it is flooding. WWE

I was thinking earlier today that we had mentioned possibly holding another .22 match in August after the regular match. How many of you would be interested?

Bush hogged the range today between the showers and noticed that Reese Bottom has developed a rash. Unwanted visitors. See photo. WWE

Misters Gilley and Echols are registered to shoot in the 2016 IBS 1000 Yard Nationals in Swainsboro, Ga. on September 3rd and 4th. There are plenty of spots left. About a six hour drive from Reese Bottom. More info is up on the Cool Acres Shooting Range webpage. WWE

Just received a text from a certain Mr. White. Says his hog is bigger than my hog. Think he is right. Lot’s of B-B-Q and bacon there. Said to tell all you .223/.308 guys that he is coming for blood in August. Nice kill, WWE

Lots of good chat this week. Please keep it up. Saw this type topic somewhere else and thought we could give it a try. Was wondering if any of you good shooters had ever learned something about reloading, gun handling, wind reading, hunting, fishing, etc. from the ‘school of hard knocks’ that you would not mind sharing with other good shooters…[Read more]
