This will teach you to snap shoot, if anything will. And, better not miss the target. With two feet of snow, they'll be gone til spring.

BRRRRRRRR!!
34 degrees and rain last night in Montana.
They are saying a chance of snow tonight.
We actually need some snow or we will be burning up come late summer and fall.

Yeah, great picture !, just get out and do it. Its 30-40 below wind chill outside, with 25-35 wind gusts, I'd say it's perfect for some practice !

Common, get that string elbow back, if you miss with that snow on the ground, it won't matter where you draw too.

nj: Yea, I had a little talk with myself - Just because it's below zero, doesn't give me an excuse for poor execution.

Wow Bobaru! I hope those are electronic heated limb covers?

It's up to a balmy 11 degrees here this morning with 30 mph gusty winds. I'm dreading just going out to clean off the truck!

Yep, Frozen drain pipe here....

I love winter.. Thanks For Sharing the photos Bobaru!

Yep i feel ya. It was -11F yesterday. I lost a few arrows earlier this winter, butthe snow melted and i found them a few weeks ago.

It is supose to be -15F Tuesday. I think that is where I will call it quits for outdoor shooting. My bare fingers just numb too quick at those temps.

My buddies and I shot yesterday in 26 degrees but today it was single digits with high winds. Think I'll crank up the woodstove.

Here in NW Washington it has been in the 50's and 60's and plenty of sun lately. My apple trees are springing new leaf bulbs and my grass is starting to grow again. Ski resorts are suffering with no snow in the mountains.

You guys back east need to send some of that weather our way.

Your brave, Bobaru! I'm going out in a while (-24 below wind chill). But I am just going out to the wood shed! Thanks for the pic.

I can no longer get to my targets in the back yard, the snow has finally won this year.
Probably not even close to what others get, but this is a lot and has been non stop for us this year. No place to put it all. I cant get in the woods to see what the deer are up to, but I have seen NOTHING along the roads around the cedar and juniper that they usually hit in deep snow.
Wonder where they are at this year?
Photo is from an hour ago...still snowing.

We have been low on snow this year, but still getting cold temps. Lots of people are having their septics freeze up doe to the lack of insulating snow cover. I put out hay early this season over the septic and pipes, this has keep us from freezing up. We finally got about a foot this past week so that is good.

Kopper1013, you better get ready. Last I heard, your guide said to expect anything from +60 to zero this fall on your elk hunt. ... Did he say what the wind chill will be at 9,000 feet elevation and zero degrees? Brrrrrr....

Steiger3208 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 15, 2015, 11:42:00 AM »

Bobaru, it's -6 here in nw Ohio this morning. Yesterday was 5* with 20-30 mph winds putting the wind chill at -30. But you guys win the prize with all the snow you have. I can't even imagine. Come on SPRING!!! Wes

-13 here in Michigan this morning.can't wait till spring.

High of -2 here in beautiful, sunny Buffalo, NY. This has been an ass kicker of a winter. Never had to worry as much about the roof as I have had to for this year. The roof rake has assisted in building up the back muscles. Way to get out and shoot- after reading your post,I feel like if I don't, I will be less of a man! Thanks for pushing us to man up!

njloco · « **Reply #18 on:** February 15, 2015, 05:58:00 PM »

I don't know what the temps are, but it's cold and real windy ! So it was my turn to get out and attempt to shoot with good form. I was a little sloppy in the first round, but all shots should have killed deer and larger targets, second round was pretty good and the last was excellent. I guess the colder my hands got the better I shot,but after saying something about Bobaru's form I felt abligated to get out and try my best.

Bobaru · « **Reply #19 on:** February 15, 2015, 06:58:00 PM »

This is how we ended the day, at +5 degrees. No idea what the wind chill was..... Sorry, I erred .... It's negative 5 degrees. ... Beautiful pic.
