hutchies Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 With this heat it is still 100 at 8 O'clock. I just can't get out in that stuff and shoot. How many of you are actually bearing the heat and shooting anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: How often are you guys shooting? About a month ago I was shooting about 30mins in the evening. Now, maybe twice a week. May hook up the sprinkler and shoot under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: How often are you guys shooting? I shot a couple of nights ago, didn't last night, most likely won't tonight either, but I will be out early this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterfisherman Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: How often are you guys shooting? It's better here too but when the weather isn't right I shoot at Gander Mountain. The yearly pass is inexpensive and they have a nice indoor range. I've been shooting 3 days a week but in a couple of weeks I'll go to every night till bow season.

CTBowMan Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: How often are you guys shooting? It was a crisp 57 yesterday morning, leaving for work wearing a t-shirt felt nice, you can tell the season is creeping closer, come on Sep 15th! I've been shooting about 3 times a week for about 30 mins each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yooperkenny Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: How often are you guys shooting? Shoot a few every night after work. We had 48 degrees the other morning - a merciful break after the 90s and high humidity. Will be switching from field tips to broadheads soon - Oct 1st is comin up fast!

wtnhunt Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: How often are you guys shooting? Hadnt been shooting much lately, been really hot and had a peep sight problem I just fixed Tuesday. Did shoot 15 arrows last night though, right before dark, and was very pleased with my groupings. Hopefully it will cool down some soon and will start back to shooting every other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: How often are you guys shooting? Ive thought about it over and over but cant do it. That heat is relentless.... We are at 105 right now. I couldnt stand out there and pull back a bow over and over for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: How often are you guys shooting? I shoot almost every night, the problem is I only have about 15 yards. Not real the best practicing distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
