Sorry that I am so late getting this announced but Suze has had me in Gulf Shores for a few days. She made me escort her last night to an Alabama concert at the Wharf. So remember “if you are going to play in Texas, you have to have a fiddle in the band”. On Saturday September 19, 2015, Reese Bottom will host a Mid Range Prone Match. 3 X 20 X…[Read more]

Gardner refers to Allen and a friend as the “West Virginia Boys” I am posting a link to a video taken by another good shooter at the World Open back in July.

Steve, thanks for posting. Interesting information. I have some stuff at the top of each list and I also have some not so near the top. One thing for sure, there is only so much good stuff out there. If we can get Gardner to respond, I bet you will see that the 6mm is not so popular at 1000 yards. I received an email from Tullahoma today and…[Read more]

Al, thanks for an interesting thread and thanks fellows for the good information offered.

I was involved in a conversation tonight and a good shooter suggested that caffeine intake before a match is known to be hazardous to good shooting. Question: Do any of you good shooters that are coffee drinkers think that a few early morning cups hurt your performance? Just asking!!! WWE

Tom, thank you for becoming active on the forums. First, you are dealing with a hard-to-get-along-with website. It is very picky about photo size. The file size of photos taken with most SLR cameras is too big to upload. I will gladly help with this or you can simply right click on a photo and open with ‘Paint’ and resize .

David, I sure hope that you Northern boys are able to get all of your matches in before the snow begins to fall. It is still hot and dry here in West Alabama. I think you make a good point when you suggest to notice what the winners are doing and what they are using. Never crossed my mind that the double post front rest might be more sturdy…[Read more]
