When I was in my teens and 20s I shot when the temperature was in the teens and 20s. I've noticed over the years as I've gotten older the required temperature for shooting has stayed parallel to my age!

The weather cleared up and I made it to the range! (reply)

About noon the sun came out, the wind died down and I grabbed my stuff and headed to the Range. I took my old .357 Ruger Flattop. The ammo I grabbed was loaded probably 20 years ago. 160 gr. cast SWC and a heavy load of Military Surplus AA7. I shot these at CSA out of my Rossi 92 and they sure were accurate for me.

I shot these today and they are typical of all the targets I fired. Some were larger but these two are about average. I maintained a well-established habit I have of pulling a shot out.

I ran a couple hundred rounds through the old gun. I really like this sixgun.

Sounds like a plan. A good plan! (nt) (reply)

I was gonna go to the Range but it's raining and the wind is gusting to 19 mph and I am staying home!

When I was quite a bit younger I shot and hunted in rain, snow, sleet, high winds and about whatever nature threw at me.

No longer.

It's just not a challenge to me anymore. At least not one I will engage with.
