  • 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

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

    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

  • Dennis, some things you don’t need to tell. lol. Looks as though we had a similar upbringing. What has amazed me so far about this topic is that no one has mentioned a military related event that led to a shooting career. I will mention that I went through National Guard basic training at Fort Jackson, SC in 1971 when the military had just…[Read more]

  • 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

  • Doug, that is interesting. I got started this morning and the phone rang and I did not finish. About four years ago I was over at Mr. Campbell’s house and Britt drove up and Mr. C asked Britt if he had a target to show me that he had recently shot in B’ham. Best I remember it was a nice group shot at 520 yards. The group size was very…[Read more]

  • 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]

  • Minor problems with the opening match of 2015. After I got home yesterday afternoon while I was being thankful for such a fun day at Reese Bottom and for safety, participation, friends, and every thing else, I remembered that I had forgotten to begin the match with prayer. I am pretty sure that was a first and I beg you good shooters to help me…[Read more]
