Wynne Echols started the topic Searching for New Content in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 11 months ago
I am looking for new content for the website. If any of you good shooters would make a video and get the footage to me, I will get it published and give you credit. I wish that someone or several would write a blog for the site. This would be a wonderful way to express an opinion. Photos are needed. Link to another site with an interesting…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic New Poll, Go Vote in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 11 months ago
I have added a new poll to the home page. Please take time to vote. Discussion in the forums has really slowed down. There seems to be two types of people when it comes to forums. Those who try hard and give up because no one responds and those who think they are not knowledgeable enough to voice their opinion. I have been amazed that good…[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

Wynne Echols started the topic FTR Rules in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 11 months ago
Do any of you good shooters know where a fellow could find a simple list of FTR and F-Open rules? I was not at all satisfied with the stability of my set-up Saturday and I noticed several shooters with different types of platforms that looked really stable. Is this an if-it-works-use-it thing or are there limitations as to what can be used.
Is…[Read more]

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

Does anyone care to share their thoughts about their Saturday experience? We are always looking for ways to improve the matches at Reese Bottom and with honest feedback we can accomplice things. I thought that we got off to a slow start. Are we too pushy, or do you need to be prodded along. Then we left the pit crew in the pits longer and it…[Read more]

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

Wynne Echols started the topic Reese Bottom has been Violated!! in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 11 months ago
Well the results are in the books and Reese Bottom is hanging her head. All these good shooters tormented her yesterday. I have heard it said that rain will never mess up a good rifle shoot. I hope everyone got home alright because has soon as I got everything unpacked it started raining and has been raining since. Must have been good shooting…[Read more]

Wynne Echols started the topic Friday March 20th Weather Report in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 10 years, 11 months ago
I know this is a little late, but it would appear that we have caught a break with the weather. It has not rained here yesterday or today. We will plan on shooting the mid range prone match as scheduled tomorrow. It is wet at Reese Bottom so I would suggest that everyone wear rubber boots. When you turn off of the main road, stay to the right,…[Read more]

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]

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]

Wynne Echols started the topic Sun Protection in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 11 years ago
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

Wynne Echols replied to the topic Bryan Litz on Velocitiy Deviation in the forum Reese Bottom Chat Room 11 years ago
Steve, first off, where can an interested shooter read this? Esp. the chapter on chronographs. I do think that chronograghs serve a purpose but I also think that numbers as related to shooting are comparative but not absolute. Britt Jones and I have said that we were going to stack our chronys to see how close the results were, but we never…[Read more]
