Still looking for new ideas for the chat forum. Does anyone have an idea how to make this thing work? Google Analysis says that over 100 people have viewed the site since Sunday and yet only 7 have bothered to go vote on the poll. Would welcome a personal message if anyone has new ideas. Thanks, WWE

Mr. Al, Mr. Gilley has set the bar mighty high. When he gets that neck and shoulder well, he will be hard to handle. There was another good shooter that had a personal first that I failed to mention. Sam Ent?????(sp), my personal scorer, mentioned that he shot his first clean target with a sling gun. Congratulations Sam, division winner.…[Read more]

Mr. Bob, I did read through the rules this afternoon while I was supposed to be working and I found the rule about the boards. 12 X 24 seemed to be the max but my question is about the 2 inches. Do the rules allow for 2″ outside each leg or 1″ outside each leg for a total of 2″? A Harris Bi-Pod is a lot narrower than many of these newer wider…[Read more]

Brett, good to hear from you and so glad that you found Reese Bottom. Either you are fudging on ‘the first time’ or you are a very fast learner. Being your first time, how did you fair with that much shooting? I was standing behind all of the shooters and I sensed that several, including myself, fatigued down the stretch. Hope to see you soon. WWE

Mr. Bob, I am shooting 80 gn Bergers, lapua brass, CCI BR 4 primers, 24 gn Varget, in a 1X8 twist brux barrel, and a trued Remington action. Looking back, I leaned on the rifle pretty good and it just did not seem as stable as I would like. If this weather will ever break, I plan to do some load testing and also work on my set up. 584 is my…[Read more]

Mr. Bob, thanks for coming to Reese Bottom and we hope to see you soon. The photo made it so please go to explaining. The site does not allow large mb photos to upload, you made it, but just keep in mind that some photos taken with SLR cameras need to be resized. Thanks for your input. WWE

Steve, congrats on the new personal best. Great shooting. As far as the scoring error, not sure how it happened but I do apologize. I will say that if a shooter’s relay sheet is added before it is turned in, we do not double check. I would hope that both the scorer and shooter double check before turning the sheet in. If this was an entry…[Read more]

Doug, thanks for the suggestions. Question, were you putting pressure on the 2X4 or just touching? When the bullet hits, is the feel faint or very noticeable? Thanks for your willingness to always help. WWE

Please, do not feel sorry for Steve. We hope all is well with you Mr. Mike. See you next time. WWE

Now, looking back on yesterday, I guess you figured out which one is the right shoulder. You will get no more sympathy from me and I do not even shoot the Open class. Must say that I am very impressed. 59 out of 60 inside 6 inches at 600 yards. Ouch! Not much room for improvement but that is okay. Congrats, WWE

Mr Bob, thanks for coming yesterday and you are welcome back anytime. It is fun to meet and shoot with new people each month as Reese Bottom continues to grow. Congratulations on the fine shooting yesterday. You F-Open guys get after one another. Thanks again, WWE

5:00 pm update. The sun is shinning and the sap is rising. More of the same tomorrow would make for a nice Saturday. Keep those fingers crossed. WWE

Dave, Darrell Jones is actually the match director at Steel City and does an outstanding job keeping us knuckleheads in line. I read a thread on another website where a bunch of good shooters were really bragging on the great job he does forming brass. I’m sure you will be very satisfied. My only concern would be that if he forms that brass…[Read more]
