Bob, first off, I am glad that you fellows have found your way to Reese Bottom and thanks for joining the forums. Your photo and comment above are exactly what this forum needs, so thank you. Please help me find topics that will pull comments out of other good shooters and forum members. Your scores got better with each target and I was most…[Read more]

Steve, one more comment. I had a spotting scope set up looking at the 450 yard flag and I still cannot figure out what I am looking at or for. WWE

Thanks Steve. Everyone be sure and check the ‘Results’ page for a listing of today’s winners[and losers]. Sorry, we did not get any random photos today. The Canon locked up taking pictures of the winners. There were several first time visitors to Reese Bottom today and everyone left about 4″ taller than they arrived. One guy said “you weren’t…[Read more]

Allen, Mr. Gardner has mentioned that he adjust his loads .1 grain for each 10 degrees of change. The info above says that you are on to something good. I hesitate to compare loads because of all of the variables[barrel length, primers, neck tension, jam vs jump, etc] You are definitely close. I remember you and me talking at the world open…[Read more]

Friday morning about 8:30 am. Reese Bottom is under cloudy skies and the weather channel app is saying 20% chance today and 0% chance tomorrow so I am going out on a limb and say we are good to go. We had about 2 1/2 inches of rain Monday night and it has rained everyday since then but we have had less than 1 inch of accumulation. The grass is…[Read more]

Allen, good to hear from you. I will tell you like I told Mr. Gardner last week, ya’ll need to pack up and move south. He was saying how bad the wind had been blowing in PA. Here are my two cents on your post. For you long range shooters, the conditions are going to have as much or more effect than the load and for us slow shooters that will…[Read more]

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday, I was able to do some bush hogging at Reese Bottom. Today, water was everywhere. We will shoot if at all possible, but one thing for sure, it will be wet. If anything changes, I will post as soon as possible but we are planning to shoot if not raining. WWE

Guys, I am asking that there be no[0] shooting before the match next Saturday. My son and nephew are in full turkey chase right now and I have promised no shooting until 9:00 am. Thanks, WWE

I am sorry, but there is nothing that we can do about the weather. I poured almost 2″ out of the rain gauge this morning and it has rained all afternoon. Make plans to shoot the Mid Range Prone match in April. We will post more info about the match around the first of the month. WWE

ps. If you know of anyone that was planning to attend…[Read more]

Steve, I think we witnessed this first hand last Monday trying to push those 140 grain Bergers a mile. I still scratch my head at how much that gentle breeze moved that bullet side ways. Don’t think I ever mentioned how much that I enjoyed spending the morning with you and Johnny. Great time and a lot learned.…[Read more]

Steve, I was thinking today about some of the things that we witnessed yesterday. A 1 mile shot is unchartered waters for all of us and I am convinced that we do not have a clue as to the effects of conditions over that distance. I once had a good shooter suggest to me that a 2″ group at 500 yards would equate to an 8″ group at 1000 yards. This…[Read more]

I had an email request this morning asking if I had more footage of Steve actually shooting at a mile so I have added a second video of Steve shooting with Johnny’s help on the ‘Home’ page. Notice how smoothly Steve breaks his shots. Steve says somewhere that he could not believe that it took us six shots to get on the backer. I think that I…[Read more]

There is a video of some of this up on the ‘Home’ page. Enjoy. WWE
