TWHaz Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) I saw this on "youtube". I shoot in Arizona and have to admire the toughness (you may call it something else) of these shooters. Edited February 28, 2009 by TWHaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Ho Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 toughness of the shooter's? How about the toughness of the guys who set up the match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Ahhh please !!! That looks like our match last Sat. I helped set-up too and you guys are failing to see the positive. We did'nt have to drag out any target stands. Hardcore shooters ?? When you live in a place like this it's not cold at the match, it's cold everywhere. The store, the backyard, work, etc... What are we going to do ? Sit and dryfire for 6 months ?? Edited February 28, 2009 by DIRTY CHAMBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did'nt have to drag out any target stands. In Arizona we shoot when it is (summer months) 90 degrees plus by 9:00 am. But the visual effect is not as good as that video.

Pat Miles Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Taping the targets would be a cakewalk compared to digging the trenches that they shoot from. Picking up brass might be a bit of a chilly chore. CYa, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt2ace Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) For some (sick) reason Randy.........I miss winter shoots at GMPS since I moved to NY. We don't shoot at all in the winter down hear and there is barely any snow on the ground. I remember winter shoots when it never got above zero for the entire match. Pasters just froze to the target, they would drop off the targets with every hit, scoring was always fun. No need for fault lines, we just cut paths through 3ft of snow.

L-10_shooter Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hey that looks like fun. Picking brass out of the snow bank would be no fun. I would rather shoot in the snow than the rain. Luckly I have only had to the pleasure of shooting in the rain once this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWHaz Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Hey thats me. We shoot all winter Yep it is you. I found it while checking out your cross over foot work post. Nice shooting and moving. Do you wait for the spring thaw to get your brass? Edited March 1, 2009 by TWHaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonAnne9x23 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 back in the 80s I shot winter IPSC matches at the Sharon Gun Club north of Toronto Canada. There were no shoveled shooter boxes. One match I shot with my left arm in a cast. NOT from falling in the snow. At another Ontario, Canada club they held a 'concealed carry' winter match. No problem with a parka on! The RO said, "I have to check you for concealed carry. Do you have a gun on?". I was wearing my full race comp gun rig!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWLAZS Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I have brought my kids up in the spring to collect brass for scrap. My daughter bought a game system with her half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 My home club (not affiliated) also shoots outdoors all winter. Not QUITE as bad as VT's weather though GMPS put on the AWARE/ Area7 matches the past couple years, and the weather (and air) up there is a bit different than most of us are used to (BTW- thanks for GREAT matches). Keep on blastin', I love the snowman idea. That's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Bell Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Reminds me of home! IDPA in Michigan wraps up in November but one of the club continues all winter long with practice days. I remember driving to the range many many times in insanely bad road conditions in sub zero weather to get my shooting fix. Winter shooting here in TN is a cake walk in comaprison.
