Wynne Echols

  • Al, thanks for an interesting thread and thanks fellows for the good information offered. Several years ago, I noticed this older gentleman constantly practicing his putting stroke everyday on the putting green. When I asked him what he hoped to accomplish, he asked me if I knew how one gets to Carnegie Hall? He answered his own question:…[Read more]

  • Being as September is Mid Range Prone Match month at Reese Bottom, I thought I would share these little tidbits with you good shooters. Copied and Pasted from another website. I will never agree to tell all that I know, just some. Enjoy, WWE

  • As most of you are aware many of the good shooters that frequent Reese Bottom are beginning to age. The aging process seems to be taking a toll on many good shooters ability to shoot from the prone position. Several of the fellows have mentioned to me that they feel guilty about shooting from a bench in a Mid-Range Match. Therefore, at the…[Read more]

  • Mr. Tom Little suggested that he be called Tom and Mr. Wynne being one of the younger shooters at Reese Bottom and therefore not old enough to be Mr., the board has met and deemed that from this point forward, every shooter at Reese Bottom and every forum member will be addressed on a first name basis. Slip-ups will be tolerated. WWE

  • 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

  • Many of you met Mr. Little this past month at Reese Bottom. He participated in the first ever .22 match and enjoyed himself so much that he has offered to donate a knife that he makes to the winner of the next .22 match. If you are certain that you are going to win, tell him which one you would like for him to bring, and if you are not certain…[Read more]

  • Please email it to me and let me work with it or follow the above instructions. WWE

  • Gunny, great read and thanks for sharing. The look on that tiger’s face is exactly how I feel when one of the rifles ‘throws a bullet'{maybe because of poor brass prep} Welcome back!!! 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 . Please keep trying…[Read more]

  • Please check out the new video up on the ‘Home’ page. With the right bore cleaning solution, I think the method could be made to work. I soaked the rifle that I shot at Reese Bottom last weekend all day today with T & L. Did not notice any chunks of anything but the solution was a light turquoise which led me to believe that it removed some…[Read more]

  • 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]

  • Gunny, good to hear from you and I hope that all is well. I ended up with one of the Nightforce 12 / 42 scopes that you sold. I am not advertising it for sale, but if it would help you in any way, I would sure cut it loose. WWE

  • Thanks for clarifying, but too late I have already mentioned my next objective. Like Steve said, I sure wish Ad and Brett would tell all they know. I think that it will be much easier to stay at the top of the forum list than it will be the results list on the third Saturday each month. WWE

  • I will try to copy/paste a link to an article that a good shooter posted on another website. After reading this article, I checked 20 random bullets and 3 were different from the other 17. Find out for yourself if you think it makes a difference. Good article just to make you good shooters aware of what other good shooters are doing to try to…[Read more]

  • I want to see my name at the top of all the shooters. My problem is that I have a real difficult time going from the sight in metal plate to the target. I feel like I do a very poor job centering on the target after seemingly being centered on the plate. For example, last Saturday we had shooters with 21 and 22 ‘X’s, I had 8. That is a huge…[Read more]

  • Dave, good to hear from the great state of New York. How much longer are you fellows shooting? Please let us in on some of the shooting secrets that you have learned this year. We could maybe put some of them to use in the deep south and none of your fellow competitors will ever know you told us.

  • We have had a request from one of our new forum members to create a list of the places that you good shooters shop for shooting supplies, reloading supplies, firearms, etc. If you fellows will tell all of your secrets, I will pin the topic to the top so that you can check the list at a later date. Please, positive comments only. I will start it…[Read more]
