At 8 am. on Thursday it is a little foggy but the sun is trying to shine. About 2 am this morning we had a lot of thunder and lightning but only .2 inch of rain. Thank goodness the sap is rising. The weather channel has some pretty high chances of rain the next couple of days. We will just have to wait and see. Either way, if we do get to…[Read more]

Well, it has not rained yet so who knows. If we do get to shoot Saturday, the best I remember we were kind of close at our last match as to having enough spotting scopes. If you have one, please bring it. Please stay in touch with the website in case we have to alter plans. Thanks, WWE

Next Saturday, March 21st, is our first Mid Range Prone Match of 2015 sponsored by Britt Jones and Backwater Custom Rifles. The weather forecast is not very promising for the latter part of the week and 80% change on Saturday as of now. Either way it is going to be wet at Reese Bottom. We will shoot if at all possible and the forecast is very…[Read more]

I read on another site today about the dangers the shooter faces by being in the direct sunlight for long periods of time during summer matches. Are you the shooter aware of this and what precautions are you taking? Must admit that I have not given this much thought but will this coming year. WWE

I have put a couple of new items on the home page. I will beg one more time. I am in dyer need of content for the forums. Is there anyone out there with an idea, a video, or a blog that they are willing to share. If anyone will provide the content, I will be responsible for getting it published. Thanks, WWE

Well, March is here which means that it is time for the first Mid Range Prone Match of 2015 at Reese Bottom. Britt Jones and Backwater Custom Rifles will sponsor the event and plans are to run the prone matches similar to last year with a few tweeks. The match will be held on Saturday March 21, 2015. Although the matches at Reese Bottom are not…[Read more]

Below is an email that I received today from Hornady, Inc. I do not think it healthy for the forum to become political, but I do believe that everyone deserves the right to be informed. Thanks, WWE

Mr. David Gardner, forum member from Pennsylvania, sent me the photo below this morning taken at the end of his driveway and told me to tell all of you good shooters complaining about the conditions at Reese Bottom to come on up to his place. Their range will be snowed in for a while yet. WWE

Last Saturday Reese Bottom welcomed 18 good shooters(20 guns) for a fun morning of competitive shooting. The shooters came from far and wide and it got me thinking of what in the world has brought us all together. How did you get interested in long range shooting and do you give credit to an event or a person for getting you involved? WWE

While looking at the results from the match last Saturday, I was amazed at how many shooters shot such good 10 shot groups at 500 yards. Approx. 25% of the shooters shot smaller 10 shot groups than 5 shot groups and several more were basically the same size. Do any of you good shooters have a theory about this or was it just a coincident? WWE

The following is the contents of an email that I received today. It appears to be in central Tennessee. I am almost positive that Gunny used to shoot there often. If anyone had any interest, we could probably get up with Mr. Roland for more information.

I am interested to hear what all of you good shooters that attended the match at Reese Bottom yesterday have to say about the conditions. I thought that the wind blew harder than I remember at any match in the past. It seemed to be a consistent blow rather than gusty. I dialed a minute and a half of windage at both 400 and 500 and was very…[Read more]
