Shooting my Frontier .50 cal. Temperature hit 85 when I left, and as usual I forgot to take water with me so that was enough.
50 grains Triple 7 powder, .015 patch, .490 lead ball
50 yds off hand

This one was about 80 yds off hand, it was too dang hot in the 100 yd shooting shed so I walked out a ways. Not bad for primitive sights, but zero wind today as well.

Always a pleasure to see the good targets you post RR. I'll bet you'll remember the water on the next trip.

We are in the 90's this week so maybe not shooting until it cools off a little. I'll shoot at -20 and not complain but I do have my limits....

Heat, extreme cold, wind, snow, blizzard, rain………Roper’s kind of like the US Postal service. Can’t remember what the motto is but you know what I mean…..
Me, I hunkered down in my A/C bunker. Well, not really, we’re taking a road trip to Kettle Falls to check out a campground and boat launch today.

I live in southern New Jersey ,will be heading to the outdoor range with my brother and his son on Tuesday. Our short cool spell will be done and back to the mid to high 80's. This year we have shot every month outdoors since January and haven't had a bad day.

There’s no bad days at the range.
