How cold is too cold to go to the range?
Where do you guys draw the line and say "it's too damn cold" to go to the range?

When you shoot, the gun goes click the bird breaks from frostbite and you have to come back in a few days to hear the BANG thaw out...

Zero is my personal best, plinking pie tins with some rifles near my buddies camp in the Adirondaks last winter. M1s do some weird shit in the cold.

I was shooting a Mosin that day. The wood stock doesn't get too warm without just cause. Originally Posted by Frenchy

Re: How cold is too cold to go to the range?
Pennsylvania doesn't get cold enough to bar trips from the range.
Granted, it may affect my gun choice. I'm more tempted to bring an AK that will throw a ton of heat than, say, my Kel-Tec Sub-2000 which throws no heat whatsoever.Safety is a good tool for tyrants; no one can be against safety.

Re: How cold is too cold to go to the range?
The cold is not as much of an issue as rain or snow. When I was younger I would still go out in snow storms.

Shooting in the snow would be pretty fun.
