N/A Feel like toast

[crowski]

In the winter I have a lot more free time to shoot compared to the summer. Problem our winters can go down to 0F. and lower.
Makes a bit of a challenge to shoot comfortably. If a strong North wind comes I retreat into the warmth of the house which is 20 ft. from my shooting bench. Don’t like the wind. This year I bought these, heated vest and pants, talk about sweet. Tried them out.

They work like a charm. Easily shot today for 3 hrs. already and the days not over. I have lites on the range. With the snow it lites up nicely.

Love shooting at nite. Another benefit of shooting with the snow if you miss your shot, easy to see where it went. Can save time and frustration.
I wear gloves with fingers cut on left hand for loading, a problem but manageable. We only had a day drop to 12F. once. No frost in ground.
This is view from bench.

LOL! You sure are ready for the cold! Brrrrrr! But technology with those heated jackets and pants are perfect for the weather that are in your pics! Have fun shooting in most inclement weather conditions!

Are those vehicles the "moving targets" ??

luckily here most days are low 50's, have a few colder but not that many.

Nice outer wear! Should keep you toasty warm. A set of hand warmers would help the left hand. The shooting shanty and a propane heater keep the pellets flying in Saline. When it gets really cold and snowy I go indoors and shoot archery.

Good thing General Lee didn’t get ahold of those.

thinking of a shooting half shack , more of a U shape 4 feet tall with a heater. Hinged for storage .

SWMBO made the hat. Gloves $35 off Amazon but a little too small for my mitts, even in XL. The toe warmers work well in both boots and gloves, just don't leave them unattended when they are really warm

Rest of the kit is a massive down parka with insulated ski pants and boots. All the clothing really makes finding a hold conducive to accuracy a real challenge. Coldest weather I've been "comfortable" in was around 15F for a couple of hours.....Then I was cooold! Although I've been out nearer to 0F for a few minutes, just until I can't feel my fingers, and just sitting doesn't help.

For me it was rain. When I set up my first range here it was in the back yard. When it rained, it was mad shuffle to get all the gear to cover.
I had already planned to build a front porch when we bought the house. Once it had a roof I started shooting in the front yard. That pretty much stopped the porch project. I have all the materials to finish it including the screen to screen it, but no, I just keep shooting from it.

Wow you are some dedicated airgunner!

Thanks, once I learn the adjustments I’ll be golden. Crow

Just replaced a windshield $4200. Costly target. Crow

luckily here most days are low 50's, have a few colder but not that many.

I wanna be like you when I grow up. Don’t like above 90F. Crow

You talked me into the pants, thanks. Hand warmer might be “a good stinkin diarrhoea” Have to try. Crow

I would love a shed. But I would have to live in it. Maybe make another gun range elsewhere. Not today. Crow
