Bambi-basher Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Build your self a covered firing point on your land, a few 6ft fence posts and some tin roofing sheets job done, keep the sides open other wise even with plugs in your ears will ring when shooting without a moddy.

JohnGalway Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 typical isnt it,you wait untill the weekend and arrange with mates to go out and test a newly fitted barrel and run a few rifles through the chrono and what happens it bloody rains Yup. Am working with a guy who wants to get into shooting, said we could go out this weekend if he had permission local to him, no problem plenty of rabbits and understanding landowners It's blowing an absolute gale with thundery rain Tomorrows forecast is for the same yet Monday forecast is for perfect weather Don't really want to bring the guy out and have shots at targets (first) and rabbits later going all over the shop!

6mmBR Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 It's going to be better tomorrow. I've got Nemasis .243 coming down so we can put his new 6BR through its paces. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Monsoon conditions here, only raining once today. Drove past a likely spot at lunch time and saw an old greyish fox walking along in the rain. No rifle along. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 the rain doesn't bother me as much as the wind. I still have my 223 loads to try out but haven't had a decent day to do it. Every time I try to take them out it is blustry wind. At least last night I got out for a few hours. The wind kept the pigeons and crows moving around so I got a bunch of shooting in. I have a newly found faith in my 'new to me' uggie. thanks rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishgun Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Used to crack me up,at times,the number of shooters we didnt see at therange when the weather turns bad. They would be willing to hunt in bad weather....but not willing to shoot or practice in bad weather. Rain or snow doesnt bother me,but when I start seein 20+ mph winds... A warm fire and a cup of coffee sure do have thier appeal then. 308Panther your smack on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I retract my earlier statement. Rain sucks pretty bad too. The wind calmed down a bit so I went for a walk through the fields with the 22. Within just a few minutes my jeans were soaked through the bone and my boots were 3 lb heavier with mud. My fault for not wearing my waterproof bottoms, but it still sucked. Ah well, there is always tomorrow. thanks rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox Wasn't all bad for me, finished putting birds to the woods and went and had a couple of hours with the AR15 and had 11 crows and two rabbits on a fresh cut hayfield, nothing much over 150 yards though , the wind proved really difficult to read. Would probably have done better with the scattergun but nowadays I enjoy shooting rifles more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
