Wynne Echols started the topic Gilley's 1 Mile Target in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years ago
Mr. Steve Gilley and Mr. Johnny Pace came to Reese Hill this morning with a mission in mind. To hit a target 1 mile away. I have pieced a video together from this morning and hope to get it up later tonight. Maybe, maybe not, a very large file. We had a 6′ X 8′ backer and a gentle wind from 2 o’clock made it very difficult to hit the backer.…[Read more]

If any of you good shooters go to the ‘Photos’ page to see the photos from the trip to Cool Acres, there is a photo of a group of Mrs. Donna’s awards hanging on a trailer door. Look close at the top right corner and you will see a familiar pin. Reese Bottom goes everywhere. WWE

Steve, good to hear from you and I can assure you that you would have a good time and also shoot well. Go here; http://www.internationalbenchrest.com/ Steve something else that I was aware of but often forget to use is holding the point of aim and dialing to the point of impact. After shooting the 29 in the shoot off, the next time I went to…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic Something Learned ?? in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years ago
Many of you know that this past Saturday I had the experience of shooting at Cool Acres with some of the best 1000 yard shooters that IBS has to offer. In the grand scheme of things, I did not fair so well. I did learn something that I am sure many of you know already, but for those interested, I would like to refresh your memory. These…[Read more]

I received this photo today via email. Could not really identify who it came from. All it said was this is my new bench gun and Misters Gilley and Collins better bring their ‘A’ game in March. Glad to be of help?? WWE

Wynne Echols replied to the topic February Results in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years ago
Listen up guys, this is a winner speaking and telling secrets. I think that I heard both Steve and Brett say that they were shooting virgin brass. Kinda makes one wonder about spending any extra time fire forming brass. That is unless you want to do something stupid like build a couple of dashers. Good job Steve. WWE

Wynne Echols started the topic Holding vs. Dialing in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years ago
Do you hold off or do you dial windage? Yesterday at Reese Bottom, the wind from the south was taking my 80 grain berger from 12 to 15 inches to the north. I dialed 2 moa of windage and seemed okay until the third target when things seems to change a little. After two nines I took a moa out and things got really weird. Talking to a good…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic Thinking back to Yesterday in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years ago
I was so glad to see Reese Bottom have a personality. There appeared to be enough condition that it was not just a trigger pulling contest, although some of the Open guys made it appear that way. I was wondering if anyone had a personal best match score. I certainly did not and I am finding those points at the top to be very hard to come by.…[Read more]
