Friday I have to go to the VA hospital, when I return it should be a cool 61*. I think I will clean all my spring piston guns, and shoot until sunset. On Saturday it will be a frigid 66* and I think that will be a great time to chrony all my rifles with their favorite pellets and finish on Sunday where the weather takes a major dip to about 63*. This way I can see how some of my rifles have broken in and others how they have fared since the last time I checked them. I just need to get my winter clothes ready tonight for all the hard work I plan for the next few days.

LOL! Stay warm. ;D ;D It is 30 *F here. It was down to 2 last week so when it hits forty it is a heat wave to me. ;D ;D

::) Well up here in the sunny north eastern portion of the country tonight is a balmy 18 degrees I think tomorrow I will break out the bathing suit and sun glasses and do some plinking in the backyard "NOT" :P :P :P :P :P

Jess how can you possibly deal with such frigid temps???
-
Gotta say the last 2-3 weeks in Texas has been wet and cold with very little sunshine. We got down to around 15 one night last week I think. I been really feeling for you guys up north if you gotta go through months of this and worse. Next 3 days at least are gonna be sweet for shooting.

Some days we are ecstatic if 15 is the daytime high.

Jesse .... that's just flat out mean ..... your temps are almost twice those in Pittsburgh. Thanks for sharing. :P :P :P

We've had to wear socks in California for the last few days :o
and 2 weeks ago, we had to turn on the furnace one night ;D

I am in Florida, I thought everyone from up North was here LOL!!! David

Just went back to work on Jan 4 after a 12 day Christmas shutdown. Monday is MLK Day so it's a 3 day weekend for me. The weather show to be in the upper 60's. It's gonna be an old pumper kinda weekend for me. My poor elbow....... BTW, that's "pumper as in airguns ya sickos
-
I have a nice, warm, indoor, heated 50 yard range less than a mile from my driveway ;D.........only drawback is it's less than 100 yards from the busiest set of railroad tracks in the world. Every 15-20 minutes, 24-7, 365 there's a train going by. All the vibration makes for tough shooting' with a scope with the "shakes".

Yup, in upstate NY it has been below zero F many nights and in the teens and sometimes windy during the day as well. I still grab a pumper and do a little shooting daily.

5 guns cleaned, 2 were filthy. Got them all back to zero, one was busting the speed of sound for atleast 10 shots. Everything is under control in the cleaning department, now I need to make the decision of how many shots to chrony over each rifle. PCPs I like to do 40-60, springers are a different story. If I do not know the favorite pellet I usually shoot 10 of each, but these rifles I do know their favorite pellet and most of them have a very close 2nd favorite.
I will be shooting their favorite pellet, and would like suggestions of what you my fellow addicts would like to see. Testing will begin somewhere between 10am and noon. :)

well my friend... that just happens to be the forecast here in southern Alabama. We have a 70yd range out back and a spare bedroom..... any ideas?
-
Id like to see some good groups jesse! None of this dime size group at 10 yards! I wanna see one hole! ;) lol
-
I'd like to do the same as Jesse and clean and rezero my rifles. I'd love to shoot them all. And I suppose I could -- if I was really determined. But I think I wait until it's a little warmer. Right now this morning its minus 21 Celsius (-6 Farenheit). Spring can't get to Northern Ontario soon enough.

Might not get the answer you want to hear. Might be "don't let the door hit you on the $%^ on the way out.

;) She knows I want to take one last road trip before I hang up my helmet , so I figure not to difficult to work out . Besides I want to get a Jeep Wrangler rag top to replace the Harley so I can still be sort of be in the wind ;D ;D ;D Over the last couple of years I've lost a half step or so the reflexes aren't as cat like as they used to be :o ::) :D

LOL, that might be the EXACT answer he wants to hear ..... ya never know. ;D :o Have a freeing in Billings, MT ... every year, he takes a road trip on his Harley .... for 30 days .... by himself, with his wife's blessing. I always envied that. My wife wouldn't really have an issue with that, but it would cost me dearly ..... she would probably want to take a 30 day cruise, to be even.
:D

My son just bought a Sebring rag top, after I loaned him $1100 to fix it, he asked me if I wanted to buy it for what he paid. So now I can sell my Harley and still get bugs in my teeth. :)

;) ;D ;D ;D Zactly my thinking ;D ;D ;D

I don't shoot much in the winter, even though I have a few guns that will handle the cold. The weak link is me! I don't handle the cold so well. Right now it is a whopping 11 degrees out and this boy is staying inside! My basement range is no more, so my shooting is pretty well done until spring. No problem. I have other things to occupy my time.
-
11 degrees thats just long sleeve weather in wisconsin! Heck we dont put on coats til it hit -20 degrees out ;)
-
you are a lucky man im sitting indoors and it -10 with wind chill, might be time for a move.im very jealous have fun
-
Well, the deed is done. I shot 5 30 shot groups. I will start a new thread and give the results. I do not know how to post graphs here, so all you get is numbers. :)
-
Booger, We miss your friend too. Your new friend obviously has character, but the old one was sure a looker. Brightens up your posts.
