[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 52230, member: 25"] Fact is we don't shoot much (if at all) during a tough winter, just no fun. We have been having pretty mild temps the last few years so have done some long shooting, just to get rid of the cabin fever. When we did shoot long we did not have to make any adjustment for elevations due to the cold. We did not shoot in minus thirty type stuff, but shot several times in minus five or so. I like to shoot for three-four hours at a time so did not shoot in the real cold. If we have a mild winter with little snow there is no problem putting out targets and shooting prone from beside the vehicles to cut the wind. Shooting rocks isn't as good if there is a lot of snow, can't see bullet strikes. Honestly can't remember if we worked with bullet trace in the cold. The ammo cools down but maybe because we shoot Varget the elevations were pretty much unchanged. We paint our steel plates orange in winter to get some contrast with the snow, they show up very nicely. Most of my plates are left orange on one side, white on the other. [/QUOTE]
