Range Report: shooting snowflakes

I don’t mean to brag but I just hit a 1/8” snowflake at 36 yards. I did it ten times in a row offhand. Well I didn’t actually see the hits but I’m sure I hit them. It’s snowing so bad how could I miss!

Being able to shoot just outside my back door is a blast. I would never load up the car and drive somewhere to shoot in the middle of a blizzard.

I love that some of us can shoot snowflakes, targets, and varmints just outside our homes and post about it here. That is so cool. Thanks for sharing the (vicarious) fun. I can't do that now, but in my next life, I'm going to do oh so many things differently. I still wouldn't load up the car and drive somewhere in the middle of a blizzard, though.
Keep knockin' down the snowflakes. Hate the stuff!

Shoot em all before they get this far south.

I have two foot drifts in my driveway. Wind is a steady 21 mph with gusts up to 48.

We just finished digging out. Got 5" of wet, slushy snow with those winds. Lost our power for a couple of hours early this morning. Ah, life in the north woods.

At least you can take away some of the cabin fever when the weather holds you up. That’s pretty darn net in my book

We ended up with seven.

I’m snowed in and can’t go anywhere till I plow the snowdrifts.

Nice shooting Sir Henry, always great to have a 100% targets hit day.

They were calling for snow here, but all we got was eighteen hours of hard (much needed) rain. The creeks winding throughout the farm were rippin'.

Some are mostly dry beds that only run with heavy rains, others run anytime it rains. They were all running merrily along.
