Due to high (20-40mph) wind and light rain I got the day off. I don't normally let harsh/not optimal conditions prevent me from going to the range for three reasons
Do you guys let crappy weather prevent you from going to the range/practicing?
- less people/no people means I have the range to myself
- I can test my firearms/equipment in various conditions prior to needing it for hunting/shtf/sd/whatever (for example last year I took my shotgun out in 15 degree weather or something super cold and lost my front bead, I loktited the replacement in)
- learning to shoot in variety of weather conditions, particularly those common to your area of operations, is just common sense and has multiple benefits (shooting a bolt action in the high heat/extreme cold teaches one to ignore physical discomfort and focus without inducing stress)
- zeroing a firearm could be impossible and a waste of time/ammo/energy
- if one does not properly care for the firearm prior to and after returning from the range damage such as rust is possible
- while range training is good time would be better spent investing in a class
- if you are not properly dressed your miserable
