Snow is coming soon? You can still enjoy a day at the range

A snowstorm is expected to hit the Northeast and upper Midwest this week, with snow from West Virginia up to Maine. (SEE Weather Report). But, if you’re looking to shoot this week, don’t let snowfall stop you. Grab your snow shovel and get out there. This is how Forum Member Nick, aka “ChevyTruck 83″‘, dealt with winter’s fury back 2012 (See Forum Thread). Never underestimate the resourcefulness and dedication of AccurateShooter Forum members. Weather.com reports that snow showers could sweep through the Midwest on Tuesday, and then the Ohio Valley or Central Appalachians Tuesday night. On Wednesday, light snow could be seen in parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. This could include parts of the Interstate 95 corridor that runs from northern Virginia to New England.” We admire Nick’s bravery. He braved the cold to go to the range in his native Pennsylvania a few years back. This intrepid shooter brought his snow shovel and arctic gear to the range session, despite the snow falling. Folks, this is a true “hardcore” shooter! Nick reported that despite the “relentless” snow, it was “at least not windy”. Nick shot a variety long guns, including his.22 LR rimfires and a.223 Rem. Rick was not afraid of the cold and said that it was fun to “play as a child once in a while.” Nick reports: “There wasn’t wind to speak of — just constant snow. I’ll tell ya what, it’s great to get out and have fun once in a while. Nick’s excursion into the winter wonderland really puts things into perspective for “fair weather” shooters. DennisH, a Forum member, commented on Nick’s thread about his snowy range session. He said: “I will never complain again about our super-hot sugarcane fields in South Louisiana ever again!” We can have matches for 12 months in a year. I have never owned or used a snow shovel.
