Not quite that hot here in Pa. a cool 94 degrees. I get up earlier and shoot before I go to work. That works for me.

When it's so hot the change in your pocket melts, you can assume its too hot to shoot. Posts: 1194 | From: North Carolina | Registered: Mar 2008

Heat used to not be an issue, but in the last few years, I just don't handle it well. It has been over 100 degrees several days lately, so I have mostly stayed indoors. It was 108 a few days ago with humidity to match. Early morning is about the only good time to shoot this time of year.Even when the season opens, I quit fairly early on the really hot days. There's just something wrong about sitting in a deer stand with sweat dripping off the end of your nose.

I shot several times today. 100 degrees, but not too hot for this former Alaskan yet.

Yeah, but I was looking for opinions from South Texas or other places that this is normal.

106 here... but it's dry heat. I shot 25 arrows early. My problem is not the heat but the wind. Hot air rises with a vengeance in the rockies.

107 here a couple days ago. Reminded me of hunting in the SW, Fl. swamps first part of archery seasons. Only here there is a little oxygen and the humidity is not 100...not to mention if you step in the shade there for a little relief the mosquitoes swamp you.
I shoot late evenings and early mornings..not so bad.

Haha.
We were at the beach all last week. The temps were in the low 90's but high humidity, which is basically normal for home this time of year. It was hot. Came home to 106 degree heat, but unusually low humidity and it was much more comfortable here than at the beach.
