Snow shooting
I know, I know. I hate people like me. I am going on a rant about the damn snow. I know it is Erie, and that it is only the start of March, but this year I will proclaim that "I am sick of it". I wish to be able to pick up brass without it being burried in the snow.

Re: Snow shooting
Yeah, I hear ya! Although, we had a pretty mild winter in Lancaster this year, snow wise anyhow.
Is this brass from your AR? I bought a brass catcher net that sets up beside the gun, on the bench. Obviously, this works best for bench shooting, but you can also put the net on a tripod if you wish to catch brass from a standing position.
You could also get one that mounts to the upper receiver if that would work better for your shooting style.
Pistol brass... that's another story. I usually end up with frozen fingers digging my brass out of the snow.

Re: Snow shooting
Woke up to a few fresh inches this morning. I was planning on hitting the range after church, but have just changed my mind. Pistol brass is my concern.

Re: Snow shooting
I'm with you. I NEVER complain about snow, but I've had enough this year.
Not that we haven't had worse years, but it just seems we've had a lot of wet shit this year. The last 5 or 6 (including today) have all been wet. I'm used to fluffy powder. I have about 1/3 mile of lane to clear, and it's getting old.
Edit:
I guess I should be happy. Yesterday the forecast was for 6-12". Now 3-6".Last edited by God's Country; March 6th, 2011 at 09:33 AM.

Re: Snow shooting
Taking delivery of a Kubota tomorrow that has a loader and backhoe attachments. It's first job is to get some of the ice out of my driveway. The snowblower is history.

Re: Snow shooting
I don't mind the snow, it's the cold that comes with it, I can snow and be 70, right?
Glock Pistols.......So simple a Caveman could fix them!

Re: Snow shooting
When I was younger, every time it would snow I would be ecstatic. Sled riding, snowmen. I always loved to play in it.
Now that I am an old crotchety man, I hate brushing it off the cars. I hate walking through it, driving in it, shoveling it. I'm just ready for spring.I'm so fast, I can bump fire a bolt action.
