I have a lighter set of limbs just for cold weather hunting. Sitting for hours motionless and then trying to pull back 55-65 pounds never works that well for me. I have a 48# set that fixes this perfectly.
Heading out for coyotes in a few minutes.......

It's 12 F here and I'm not sticking my nose out the door until it warms up.

I sure would like to move WAY south someday. Winter seems so long anymore and I've grown to hate the cold.

Yesterday it got up to almost 20 degrees here in NW PA. Today its already a toasty 15 degrees and supposed to be in the mid 20s!  I like the cold, but if its gonna be cold I want it to stay that way. Freezing and thawing makes me want to move south and just stick with the heat. I must be getting old!

-6 yesterday and -4 today. Actually this month I'd be amazed if we don't have several days at -25 plus.  I'm forced to shoot indoors.

A few years ago it stayed below 0 for 90 days lol.  We don't get your hot summers. I remember being in the 1st Cav in the summer down there.  Not fun.

Went out stumping this morning - 22 degrees in Westchester County, NY. A bit colder then I expected but it was nice to get out and shoot.

I think it was about 5 above zero this morning. Me and my buddy Knobby went to an indoor outdoor traditional only shoot down at the Sherwood Forest archery club. I think it warmed up into the mid 20's. They had a great turn out and lots of arrows were flying!

I shot a 15 target 3-d range outside in northern Illinois. I don't know the temps, but it was difficult to hold the cold riser. I had a great time and  can't wait to get back out there.

Welcome, brother and I look forward to your contributions to this site.   :campfire:    :coffee:

I've been shooting each day all winter, from minus 35 Celsius, to minus ten or so.  You lucky people, you.

  I judge the number of arrows I will shoot, by how fast my little finger goes numb  ;)
