tgford58 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 OK, I minor rant. Yes, I still shoot in my back yard and yes, many of the friends I have made along the way come over or stay in touch. But I hate that the competition year if over until February. I enjoy the planning, dissecting stage drawings, checking my equipment. All of the preparation and excitement reminds me of when I was young and Christmas was near. So, I hate that this year is done but thrilled that next year is just a few months away.

markcic Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Come to AZ, we shoot all year, even when it gets cold. I'm moving back to northern Virginia at the end of the year and looks like I'll be in the same situation of having a winter break break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 living in cold weather winter areas sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yeah, the season ending is a bummer. A few clubs around here still shoot matches in the winter but I don't get much of a thrill waiting in freezing temps to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 One of my IDPA clubs shoots year round. The other has a November match and a January match. My home USPSA club had a January match last year also. This is in Massachusetts. Hartford (CT) even had a sanctioned IDPA match last January. If you want a match to shoot, volunteer to be the MD.

MichiganShootist Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 If you guys in Fort Wayne need to lighten up-----If you want to really see Winter. This February hop in your car (a four wheel drive truck would be better) and drive about 9 or 10 hours at about 70 mph straight North. If you can find my house in the snow banks you are welcome to stop by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find my house in the snow banks you are welcome to stop by. I don't think so, I'll stick with the Indiana kind. I did 4 years North of Minneapolis. I would have started this rant in early September and not gotten out to shoot until May. At least I have some hope for spring. You guys from upper MI are tougher than me.
