    If you were there between 2:30 and 4:00 pm I was there on the range blasting away or talking in the shop.

    What is snow? I shoot every week, at least once, sometimes twice if I'm developing a new load.

    Never shot when it was that hot but did have a few summer casting sessions when I had to wait for sundown to gather up my fresh boolits, too hot to handle while the sun was up.

    44man I figured if I have to pay the postage I might as well wear out a couple more today. Hope you don't mind.
    If I could get a pic to load you would see a 10.5 inch Ruger 44 SBH, a Browning Buckmark. And a couple hundred empty 44s. Anybody else having trouble uploading picks??

    When we shoot in the snow, we favor snowballs for targets. They explode nice when hit. Bring a spray bottle with some food coloring in it to make them easy to see.

    I shot an ISPC in Wichita Falls, Texas, on July 4th. Worse yet, the match was held in a gravel pit and there was no air moving. Hottest I have ever been. We still talk about it and it was 18 or so years ago.

    Do not argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    161: I figure I'm about in between you and TommeBoy. It's about 30 miles to Clinton or Tipton from here. Been shoot'n almost all winter. My 50 foot pistol range is in an outbuilding (of sorts). No wind, rain, or heat (yet), nothing fancy, but no $12.00 per hour either. I even manage to catch the lead. Always interested in meeting local casters, loaders, and shooters. Bob
