    .22lr in the snow

    So it's been snowing here in south MS and figured it would be fun to take the .22lr out and punch some paper in the snow. Long story short still trying o get the feeling in my toes back lol shot two decent groups and was trying to hit the 100yd gong but finger where frozen y then and couldn't do jack lol

    Very nice, wish I could brave these temps and get out shooting but it’s way too cold here in Mi for my blood.

    Too cold for me, and I am probably 40 miles South of you. ( and 50 West)

    I froze my backside off yesterday putting chains on my lil Kubota. That wind was brutal. Had to come in to put another flannel on and wear my special I am freezing hat and I still froze!

    Come up here to Northern Wisconsin and we can shoot .22's together for about 3 minutes. Then head into the house to sit by the roaring fire to thaw out! Chris

    My kabota had me scratch my head and freezing my fingers too. The shoot rotating fuse blew (again) i plugged a new one in. No go. Tried two others, No go. Gave up and pulled it into the garage where it was warmer (-3 outside) and found out my big hand stuck in where that fuse is in tight quarters unpluged the main electric conector under the dash. Got it going but took a while to get feeling back in my fingers.

    While I would love to go outside shooting, I am too much of a wimp to handle the cold here.
    Our benchrest range is at the bottom of a hill and I am not certain I could get back up the hill even if the road is open.

    I got outside to try out a mach2 but didn't have much luck at 100 with the windy conditions.

    -10* here this morning...no way I am motivated to shoot. Have a new "free" toy to play with too; courtesy of selling primers to grasshoppers.

    It is up 13* now. Maybe 30* this weekend.

    This wussy is waiting for March.

    No wind suns out. I'll shoot in upper 20's F. Mechanics gloves help some.

    It’s 7 here and you could shoot limbs off trees with 22. Limbs snapping like glass. This morning when sun was out it was blinding. Snow and trees encased in ice.
