Be sure and look around the website. I have updated the home page, results page, and have some random photos taken at the match yesterday on the photos page. Please encourage others to come shoot with us at Reese Bottom. Time is running out on 2015 with only two more matches. I am not so sure if we realize what a rare feat we witnessed…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic What the Winners are Doing in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 7 months ago
Several weeks ago, forum member David Gardner wrote a topic in which he suggested that all good shooters should be noticing what the winners were doing and using. When I saw the below picture posted on another site of the recent IBS National winner, I thought of Mr. Gardner’s suggestion. Enlarge the photo and pay close attention not only to the…[Read more]

Al, I have most of a 20# bag that I bought from Tractor Supply if that will help. It does not seem to be a heavy sand. A 20# bag only weighs twenty pounds, but it is in a small bag. WWE ps. tell Thomas to knock the rust off of his rifle.

Wynne Echols replied to the topic West Virginia 1000yd state match this Saturday in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 7 months ago
Allen, good luck and choot’ um small. Send us an update. Is there a website that we can go to? Sounds like West Virginia must be shooter friendly. I noticed in the IBS National Results that a shooter shot a 2.1″ five shot group at 1000 yards. I do that regularly at 400 yards. Oh well, leaves room for improvement. Good Luck, WWE

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.

Happy to see Allen Shively register for the forums. I met Allen at the World Open and we are glad to hear from him.

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Equipment shooters are using at 600 yards in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 7 months ago
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]

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
