Shooting in this weather? I am not going near my bow.. it`s miserable out there !
I've shot in the rain a few times here in NC of late. 15 straight days with some sort of rainfall at my house.
Weekends, no matter what the weather. if it's hot, I go earlier.
Here in NYC its just toooooo hot..but we have thunderstorms in the forecast almost everyday..but they are not guaranteed.
I haven't hardly shot in a week. It's been nonstop rain here and 90+ degree heat with almost 90-100% humidity...not to mention gnats. Terrible. I did manage to shoot my Habu a little last night after it cooled off and the rain stopped. Still humid as all get out. Ugh.
yes, but not until sunset....
Yes!......it's 65 degrees in my basement and I have a 20yd range. Ahhhh!
YUP :thumbsup:

I am with Kevin, I shoot in my basement.
Working on form in the shop near the fan. Still hot.
No Basement, but rather an air conditioned shop. Also outside early and late.
I tinker with arrows, packs, etc., or shoot in the basement when it gets hot out. No reason to be miserable unnecessarily!
For me it's unrealistic anyway, as I rarely hunt in that kind of weather, and shooting in a t-shirt with sweat dripping in my eyes is a lot different than shooting with a wool coat and vest on. The t-shirt stuff is so much easier, it hurts my 'bulky clothing' shooting.

Same here.
Yes, still shooting. It's been 90 to 100 with pretty high humidity but the gangs still shooting.
I am shooting much less with the heat and humidity. I shot almost every day all winter, no matter what the temp. Once it gets up to the 80's and high humidity and I can't get the umph to sweat and shoot. I don't know how you Southern boys do it.
I shoot every day, trying to get back to speed after surgery for a broken elbow in Early April.
Yes!
scatter,,, I'm near Boston and I've been cowering in the house like a little wimpy dog... BUT the wind turned and brought in the sea breeze around 4pm today and dropped the temp to 76,, the humidity is still the same but its like a vacation-- hope you got a cool down from it over in NY..
I really have to give the folks in the south land credit,, If its hot enough to get a sun burn I won't no part of it and will take single degree temps over the 90's with humidity ANY DAY.
It's gonna still be hot this weekend and you can bet I'm going out to Suffolk Archers on Sunday for their Knock-A-Block, (Muzzy Type) shoot!
... mike ... :archer2: ...
yep I shoot 6-7 days a week. some times 5-6 dozne others only 1 or 2. I shot 2 dozen today it was 92 with 80 percent humidity.
Been going out to the yard some after dark. After working in it all day that's the best I feel like doin', of course in about 6 months or so I'll be whining about it being too cold....never happy I guess.
