I predominately shoot handguns at indoor ranges. Recently, I have acquired a Sig556 rifle and it is pretty darn nice.
The problem is my regular range only permits (expensive) frangible ammo to be used (understandably) AND only from 6-9 on Saturday night. This has made me look into shooting outdoors. I actually enjoy getting a little fresh air and can shoot at longer distances. Also, the reports don't seem as loud because I'm not in a confined space.
However, I live in Memphis Tennessee. Which means the weather is not the best for (IMHO) ENJOYABLE shooting outdoors. Basically, I have from mid-September through mid-November for great weather. (No rain and temperatures between 80-65 degrees.) The rest of the year it's extremely hot and HUMID or cold with some rain. We don't get much real snow. We get ice instead because of the humidity.
Anyway, I was wondering..... How bad does the weather have to be to keep you from enjoying a day at the range?
Don't count days when you force yourself to go for practice or risk frostbite for hunting. Just laid back days of leisurely plinking at paper.
