Pete, is the shoot still planned for Monday? Forecast looks really bad with a mix of snow/ice/rain.

It would seem a New Year's Shoot is just not in the cards for 2022. The forecast for Monday 1/17 is for snow and high winds in the morning changing to heavy rain and high winds. So with that said the NYD shoot at Major Waldron's rescheduled to MLK Day this coming Monday 1/17 is canceled. We are also fresh out of holidays until Memorial Day, see you in the Spring.

We've shot the New Year's Day Shoot before in single digit temps and blowing snow and I'm okay with that but when heavy rain's in the mix I'm out of it.

First one we ever did was just as described above...

Yeah thanks Pete. That’s all the proof John Dunkle needed to learn where the forend to his little Damascus 20 gauge DH went.

I look forward to this one every year. I have the itch to shoot so regardless of weather at least one day this weekend I am going down to my range on the back 40 (really more like 35). I have two throwers that are hooked up to trip lines so I can shoot alone if needed. The lines are quite long and I can be 50 feet away and off at angles. I will have to snowmobile down but that makes it all the better. I especially look forward to the protection shoot so the 10 gauges will be in action. Finally found a Remington 32 for low money but that has not arrived yet. Hope it does today. It is 8 below right now with 20 mile an hour winds so If I go down today I will need to have a fire in the fire pit. The range has some open areas of course but is still in the middle of the woods. A lot like regular hunting conditions. One of these days I hope some of you guys will come up for a little shooting. I have to keep the shots down to a couple hundred or so to keep the neighbors happy so it can't be too many at one time. Hope you all get some shooting in sometime soon.....

Make a plan Bob. I know Denmark and I can be there in 2 hours… not today though.
