JaredB Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) I was not at this match. But I have to give some credit to those who put on this match in such conditions and to those who participated. This photo came from my local clubs website.

Ledge Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I enjoy shooting in about any foul weather, except for when it is a heavy downpour. At our club's match last weekend, I don't think that it was 10 above when we started shooting. We also have a match on January 1st that is sure to be fun. Last year, we had an ice storm on New Years Eve that made conditions interesting for the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

et45 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Snow would not be too bad,but +1 on the downpours,they suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 That looks like our winter season, between October and March, but this winter we don't have any snow yet. It rains and the outside temperature is a couple of degrees above freezing point, that is no shooting weather, belive me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz1911 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hmmm, supposed to be mid 70's this week here on Georgia. I wish we had snow like that, don't know about shooting a match in it but sure would be fun to do some 4-wheelin' in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ Bagger Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Snow is very different from a blizzard. Add wind and the fun factors flee quickly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wideload Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 These conditions can be a test of the shooters' skill and motivation, as well as their equipment and general preparedness. I shot a local match yesterday with beautiful weather in NE Kansas, windy, damp, high in mid 20's, snow on the ground and threat of freezing rain all day long. Got some remiders about shooting in cold weather... 1. Clean the gun of any heavy grease and the grunge built up in it before the match. 2. Wear enough clothes -- Remember heavy gloves while you are not shooting. Shiverring does not contribute to your accuracy. 3. Manipulating guns -- even with light weight glove liners, it requires techniques with more overt - gross motor skills -- i.e., if the gun locks back, sling-shot the slide cloesd after insertion of a fresh magazine. 4. Clean the gun once you get home... No pictures but still was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajarrel Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Here it is, the second weekend of December, and it was over 80 degrees and sprinkling rain at our match yesterday. Sure would like to see just a little cold weather. dj Edited December 9, 2007 by dajarrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadetree Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Look what happened to the Kitsap range 2 days after it snowed! Holy crap I haven't been up there for a while but the dirt work really seemed to be working. I guess 5" of rain in a day could screw up anybodies drainage system. I hope none of their equiptment was ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
