Call me crazy but I like it.  Probably because the heat means I know where the pigs are going to be, especially in west Texas.  Find water and they're there.  So I figure that shooting in the heat is good conditioning:)

Never.  I'd prefer it a lot cooler, but in FL you can't wait for cooler weather.

I was born and raised in AL and used to laugh at all the northern fellows fussing about it being so hot.

Most summer days in the south are hot as #&!! and the humidity will knock you down.

Now that I've been in OH for two years I can understand why the fuss. Todays temp is supposed to be close to 100. Normal average temp for around here is supposed to be in the low 80's.

Walked outside this morning to shoot alittle and sprung a leak in less than two minutes.

I laugh at all the poeple who think 60 is cold so I guess its a geographic thing.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

I was up and on the range with a cup of coffee before daylight and I'll be there again around dark, just before skeeter-30. Thinking seriously about lighting just my target so I can shoot longer in the evenings, I try to shoot 50-100 arrows every day. I'd shoot from my back porch but my longbow is too long a longbow and I don't wanna get it hooked up in the ceiling fan!
If you find yourself in a fair fight? Your tactics suck!

I shoot late evenings or early mornings. When it is really hot I may not shoot as long, but I do shoot.
