Well it was 20 degree's out today and I needed to keep my mind occupied so I was out in the yard shooting my bow. People driving by probably thought I was a nut case, but hey when it comes to archery and bowhunting it is my passion.
Who else practices all year?or am I the only nut out in the cold?

I tried to shoot today but with a windchill of -15 I would shoot a few and then go in to warm up.

I shot outside yesterday in 15 degree temps! I didn't last very long, but it was nice to be shooting. My wife also lets me get away with shooting through the kitchen out on the back porch where my bag target is. Maybe 8 yards, but at least I am shooting. :grin:

You know, if I open a few doors and stand just right I can shoot across the living room...down the hall...out the door ..and across the garage and get a 25 yard shot! And all the while stay inside and warm! (the wife has a cow though!).
I like to shoot outside as well, but like Gander, I have to brave the cold here in St. Louis.
