Darn cold here today too. -12 this morning.A used bow I ordered from Ted Fry came in Wed and I have been setting it up and tuning some. Could not stand it and went out this morning to shoot a few thru it. Took a handful of arrows out with me and of the bunch , busted nocks on three of them. Plastic nocks on aluminum shafts sure get brittle.

You can move to Florida, but once you get used to the heat, "cold" weather is in the 50's.  I was born and raised in Florida-40 degrees was miserable!!! I was 20 years old before I saw snow-in Denver, CO. It's all about what you get used to!

That's some cold weather, reminds me of when I lived in Cleveland near Lake Erie.

But that was then, as today was 50 with overnight low's in mid 30's.

For all of you with cabin fever I'll shoot a few stumps in your honor tomorrow at the range as we prep a 3D shoot for next week.

Don't know how you guys do it. Would trade your hunting grounds around home half the year.  But Last week it was 80. Cooled down to 70s this week.

-24 yesterday morning when I went out to start my truck for work at 5:45am...trees were popping it was soooo cold!
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

when it gets this cold I get out the ole buffalo coat and my fur hat. Keeps me plenty warm, I've got some fine wool under it.      :bigsmyl:  

   

Two Tracks heavy wool works mighty good too

Warmed up to a balmy -2* w/o any wind. Seems real nice outside this morning,I think I'll make a path out to my target & shoot alittle before the next storm gets here.

No snow in Wasilla, AK and rained off and on today.  Way too warm.  Water on the route for the IRONDOG>  

Funny part is that while the east is freezing the earth as a whole is on track to being the warmest or second warmest year since we started keeping records.

Your in luck, your thermometer only goes down to -40. I once hunted coyotes when it was -20, they weren't out.
