Snow on the Ground? No Problem, Let’s Go Shooting!
We admire the fortitude of Forum Member Nick (aka “ChevyTruck 83″) who braved wintry weather in his native Pennsylvania to enjoy a day at the range. A little snow on the ground couldn’t stop this intrepid shooter, who brought snow shovel and arctic gear to his recent range session. Folks, here’s a true “hardcore” fan of shooting! Despite the “relentless snow”, Nick reports that “at least it wasn’t windy”. Nick shot a variety of long guns, including his .22LR rimfires, a .223 Rem, and a .308. Not daunted by the cold, Rick said it was fun to “play like a kid once in a while.” That’s the spirit!
Nick reports: “There was no wind to speak of — just relentless snow. I’ll tell you what — it’s awesome to get out and play like a kid once in a while.”
Nick’s foray into the winter wonderland really puts things in perspective for “fair-weather” shooters. After viewing Nick’s Forum thread about his snowy range session, fellow Forum member DennisH observed: “I will never complain about our super hot sugar cane fields in south Louisiana ever again! We can hold matches 12 months a year. I have NEVER had, owned, or used a snow shovel.”

We would not shoot much if we did not shoot in snow. Last weeken we had -16C, and clear weather, a great day of shooting.
