Its been fairly cold as of late; anyone done much shooting???

Seems like the older I get, the less I can tolerate the dang cold...

I'm taking PTO till the Jan 3rd, so in between home owner crap and Holiday stuff I hope to either shoot out back some, or hit the range for a few hours.. 

Was hoping to have the money to buy myself a Nice Chrony for Christmas, but that's not going to happen...

Too fucking cold. I have 3 new builds that need to be sighted in, 3 rifles that I've changed optics around on, and 2 new suppressors that I've yet to test out.
I hate cold weather, especially if I'm not running and gunning. If I'm moving around I'm fine, but to sit down and dial in optics is a pain.

We had a little shoot here about a week ago, after dark. We set up targets along the edge of the driveway, then shot them with various handguns (using headlights and then flashlights).

It's been a couple weeks for me. Hoping to go Monday as I have the day off.

I work in the cold a lot and hate it more and more each year. I've been waiting on a precision rifle build for 9 months. When it comes back, I don't care if it's -10. I'm going shooting.

None, in a couple months. I was busy this Fall when the weather was nice, and the times I went out rifle and bow hunting, was enough cold weather activity for me.

Me too on the cold, and this whole year has sucked for me shooting wise. Only good thing was getting a couple of deer. Two shots there and six for the sight in. Had a few sight ins for another gun in September. I'm way way under what I wanted this year.

I got to test some new 300BO loads today, and went and killed me a deer this evening with the 300 pistol.

I might shoot out back a bit tomorrow, depending on where the Cows are...   

My G/Fs son got some sort of .22 pistol from his Dad for Christmas and wants me to teach him about Gun Safety and show him how to shoot...

Shot pistol 4 days a week, every week this month. I was shooting 3 days a week last month. Mainly 9mm through the Beretta. I'm getting ready for the military matches next year. We'll see how it goes.

I did not end up shooting today... :( Had a few thing to do this morning, then when I was about too go, the old lady told me she had tickets for us for the new StarWars, so we went to that...  By the time we got back, it was getting dark...

Hoping for tomorrow or Tuesday.. ...

Made it to the range today.  Working on some loads for my S&W 929 and making sure some new powder makes power factor for my other various pistols.  It was a great day!
Going back tomorrow to double check my results before I load a bunch that I can't use in competition.

Is that the 9-shot revolver?  Got any pics?

Hey Eric,  It is an 8 round 9mm revolver.  Lots of fun for ICORE.  Sometimes I like to shoot my 686, but ICORE, it is the bomb.  I wouldn't want to carry it as it is huge.

Wow, what a day, the Weather was great! A friend called me last night, he had a last minute idea to get out and go shoot today, his family was in town, lots of good folks with some toys. I hope we get another couple more warm winter days.

Yesterday I actually got to shoot a bit...  Went up to Daniel/Gunguy148's house and shot for a bit.... 

Did more bullshiiting/catching up than shooting, but I got to shoot my 9" .300 Blk AR and my Suppressed G34, his G19 with my can and his boys .22 Revolver....  I forgot the damn mags for my Scorpion or we'd have popped off a few outta that too..

It's still bow season so I'm still doing that.
I have a new build I have to get sighted in for coyotes so probably next weekend I'll squeeze that in.
I still hit an indoor range up 2x a month.

Shot the dueling tree I made last Sat, Sunday daughter number 1 called and wanted to go shooting, a rare occurrence, so of course I took her.

One of these weekends, you should bring the tree down here or over to Daniel/Gunguy house and we can all go at it...

I dunno if I wanna shoot against you though, I've seen you shoot.  I don't have to win, but I at least want a chance at it...

and If my daughter called and wanting to go shooting, I'd make the time... She used too shoot my 10/22, but bored of it after she discovered boys...

Say the word and we'll give it a go. It needs some fine tuning but it works good enough at the moment to have fun with it.

I hear you.  I have been cold for 3 weeks!

I haven't been shooting for the last couple of months either.  Where I shoot is populated with quiite a few deer hunters so I usually take that time off.
