I guess I'm a wimp...

I don't usually shoot when it's been snowing or real cold.  I tell my self, "self, it's just too danged cold".  Maybe this will get me motivated this winter.

    Thanks for sharing, and that's about all I'll use it for.....sharing.

    Keeping our Florida weather here to ourselves for now.

Duc/Doc,

 

I shot in the snow once. It was in, of all places, Chabot Park CA in the summer. We had a Mulligan stage. I shot okay and hadn't used my Mulligan. Then, I totally messed up the last stage, a one-gun dump. I decided, rather than use my Mulligan, to go to the car, turn on the heat, remove my boots, and put my footsies over the heater vent.

 

So, I have great respect for our Swedish shooters or anyone who shoots in a place that cold..

 

Regards,

 

Allie Mo

 

PS That time, being summer in CA, very few had comfortable clothes with them.

I would rather shoot in snow any day over rain.

Sure glad I wasn't the 'brass-picker' on that posse. 

BURRRRRRRrrrrrrrr.........

One of the few times I've shot in the snow was Lucerne CA.

From the title, I thought this was the start of another "two-handed" shooting thread.....

[Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life]

WindyGap Regulators in Cortez, Co shoot year round.....snow included!

We used to shoot in the snow around these parts.

 

Haven't done so for quite a while though. Notice the beard is not completely white yet. Also notice the thermos of hot coffee in the gun cart.

Yep! Double brrr! I even have a pin somewhere to prove I was there.

[Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217]

Here is proof I was at Lucerne when it snowed. Some folks, not naming names, even wore garbage bags. See him in the back left of the photo.

[Youngblood #60304]

That is three of my favorite people above this.  No snow for me, not picking brass either.  I'll watch on the www......

Those Swedes are a hearty bunch.  They go to the range in about October and come back sometime in June.  Just spend the whole winter out there.

 

The families get together and air drop supplies to them from time to time, but mostly they eat snow and ice an an occassional rabbit or elk or bear that gets snowed in.
