Greetings INGO,
So for reasons yet unknown I added a cold weather shooting session to my list of things to do today. I am thinking this is a "bucket list" item right? Anyway, I took two pistols, one a brand new SR9C, and gear to Kingsbury DNR. I was the first person on the range and that was nice. I did dress appropriately for the 22-degree temperature however I think that I underestimated the glove situation. This is where I struggled. I knew the gloves would be the liming factor today as I have "aged" to a cooler body especially my hands. Had I used better / warmer gloves I think I would have stayed longer, but I wimped out after 80-rounds.
So how often do you venture out in the cold to go shooting?
Do you have gloves that keep your hands warm while also allowing you to load and shoot?
I will say that it was fun with the exception of cold hands. And yes I will do it again once I find the right glove.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All,
MrBlue54
