techmike Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Damn Algore - I wish we HAD some warming! I get my Colt out and set it on my workbench, and remember how much fun it was to shoot. The club I belong to has an indoor range, but it is only 25 yds. Not much fun when I am used to nailing bulls @ 100yds. What do you guys do in the winter? :confused:TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS2KSTD Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Plenty to do when it's too cold to shoot! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 OOOH! Moving targets!!!! What a GREAT idea! :grin:TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS2KSTD Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Careful now ... all 3 of these guys pack when they ride! Be ready for a volley of return fire! >:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Notes to self: Winter Gillie suit; winter rifle wrap; butt warmer; lol. I am in Ohio, which is where I "grew up". But I spent 30 years in Kalifornia. We kept the snow up on the mountains where it belongs. ;DTM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 This is the best time of year to shoot for me! At least I don't feel like I'm in an oven, like the other 8 months of the year. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Not to brag but I can still usually go in the early afternoon here in New Mexico and not freeze anything off, as long as the wind isn't blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Here in CT weve been having cold,wind and snow thats not typical this early in the winter.In winter I just keep buying stuff for shooting.

rodent.22 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I step out on the porch,(front or rear) and blast away....leave weapon on porch and step into house to warm up..... the advantage to living in a RURAL county. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 As mentioned elsewhere I spent a lot of time in the Adirondacks. I loved going shooting after a heavy fluffy snow covered the pine trees. It was almost like shooting suppressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodent.22 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Right! The snow in the trees absorbs sound..... :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Cool stuff guys. I had a buddy that lived outside Beaverton Oregon. He had a shooting bench set up in his family room, and would just open the slider and shoot on his 100 yd range. Snowmobile down range to replace targets.

FS2KSTD Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 ^^^ Now that's my kind of winter shooting home range! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
