    Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get me.

    Thanks for the invite but I was planning on hitting the range about 8am when it opens. I wanted to be back home at 11am.

    Maybe another time? Where is your club?

    It better not be; I'm headed there myself in the morning. Got the Stag and the Savage, 350 rounds of ammo, my long johns, a hot mug of coffee, a new pair of flip-back shooting mittens, and two-- count 'em, TWO!!-- Zippo hand warmers all tanked up and ready to light.

    I'm goin' shooting, damned if I'm gonna let the cold stop me. The guns will do fine, so long as they're cleaned and lubed right...

    off of babcock blvd in ross twp. Its not the best range around but its not bad either, only thing that gets me is no holsters anywhere on the grounds(someone shot themselves in the leg awhile back).. but no clubs perfect, except PMSC of course. And theres a full bar sooo

    I went out with a buddy a few years ago when we were both into Enfields bigtime. Spent 3 hours at the range-ambient temp was 2 below BEFORE the wind chill.

    Lets see,that was about 2003-I think I finally warmed up last summer.

    coincidence?!?!?


    It's not going to be too cold, just dress appropriately. I'm planning on getting my membership to my local range as soon as they start selling 2008 ones (sometime in December) and hope to be shooting all winter.

    several years ago I shot a local highpower service rifle match in Feb and it was -12 with wind chill! We were out in that for about 5 hours! It was pretty miserable mostly to lack of feeling in the trigger finger. As time goes by i dislike the cold weather more and more.
