Default Wind gusts to 40mph
Our Sunday Sporting Clays group decided to shoot indoor 5 stand with a wind gusts to 40mph and temps hovering about 19 degrees. Thought the southern boys would get a kick out of our set up. Radiant keeps the chill off.

A neat set up. I'll bet those 40 MPH gusts made for some tough shooting.

A very nice setup! Here in Texas we'd want it with A/C!

I was in Lubbock last week and it was plenty cold and windy.

Having some experience in the panhandle in winter I don't doubt that a bit but in the summer you can cook a chicken on a car hood! I shot several clays rounds with my guys in the Texas SxS club this summer, smokin' hot by 10:00 AM. Cold blowing air at the 5 stand would be wonderful in the June thru September time of year.

It's set up for night time shooting which is an interesting experience.

You guys definitely seem to have a need for something like that , but I swear I feel confined in 5 stand setups that have a roof and arm rails much less walls .

Sweet! And I thought I was over-the-top when I brought a small heater into a duck blind.

It does take a while to get accustomed to being confined.
