Range Report: shooting snowflakes

Post by Sir Henry » Wed Mar 05, 2025 10:44 am

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!

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

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

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

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.
