Flush Draw Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I wouldn't worry to much about only a foot of snow, that's pretty minor. Its awesome shooting during the winter months. Our last monthly we had a small amount in the 18-20" range. Spring isn't to far off but for now enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackey Cole Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I left ga just in time the beginning of this month. Weather was bad enough being wet and cool I got back to nm the sun was out about every day and I have had the front door of the Rv open all but one day from the time I got up to after dark most days.i live where I can see the snow on the mountian tops and if I want to play in it I drive an half hour up in the mountains and there she be. The only bad part is july and August being a little on the warm side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Shoot Dutch , your man enough for all three of us. Besides there was a couple of gals there too. Thing is around here so many clubs shut down its really about how far do you want to drive not how cold is it. As for the March shoot at Thurmont its been cancelled about as much as its been shot since I've been shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nawlins Kid SASS #36107 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't worry about snow anymore it comes and melts and Then comes again. I live north of Rochester three south of lake Ontario. The lake is a pretty good snow machine and it keeps making snow. There is no way to get down to the range and hopefully the ground will dry out by the beginning of May. The only difference this year is this month we broke a cold temp record and now it's the 2nd coldest Feb. on record for us. I just look at it that once it's gone I will be exercising them shooting irons. Nawlins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Often it's not just shooting in the snow that's the big deal. It's getting to and from the range alive! I burnt some powder this morning. But my range is only 50 yards from the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawnee McGrutt Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The only problem I have shooting in the snow, is finding my brass. I am cheap, don't like to buy, unless in need to. I have over four feet of snow on my range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just look at it that once it's gone I will be exercising them shooting irons. Nawlins I was raised as a child on a dairy farm 'bout 3 miles n of Clarkson on the Lake Rd, 2955. 'Though it's been 55 yrs., almost to the day, that we moved to AZ, my memories of those winters have never faded. The snow off of Ontario would paralyze the area, but I don't remember too many school "snow days" either. Ice storms would be much worse, and the "city family" would move in with us 'cause their oil/electric heating would not operate. We had a huge wood/coal fired furnace in the cellar. Anyway, when we were contemplating my retirement I had this wild hair to move back to the area...my spouse's better judgment prevailed. We have 1 granddaughter at Syracuse U. & another at St. Johns. They're both FREEZING! Glad we didn't go back!!! Hope yer staying warm! BTW, we met several yrs ago at WR at PC's motorhome. DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nawlins Kid SASS #36107 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 so much for global warming , glad so many are getting to shoot and sorry to hear so many live as i do thru the winter months The "chicken little's" call it climate change. To me it means the climate changes from day to day. Take for example in an earlier post I stated that this month is the second coldest for us in history. Well guess what the climate change is working again the weatherman said last night that we are now tied for first place for the coldest Feb. in our area with five more days and counting.
