2017 Cabin Fever Challenge UPDATED Feb 18 2017
- Thread starter Riflechair
- Start date
I,m going back out tomorrow after church . My personal range , there is a clump of tree,s that blocks view from the road way and apparently the Sun also . standing and being on the ground in 19 below C in the shade temps , Nice . I could only muster some 8 ,s in hits on target .
BUT ... I did learn that .. 1) my sporter 1916 mark III star feeds cycles in this cold just a smoothly as in warmth of my house 2) other then loading and shooting , keep your gloves on all the time . 3 ) In this cold , carry your rifle upside down with 2 hands , when you go to check your targets . The barrel will warm the fingers of your gloves most awesomely .
On a side note , something I realized suddenly , whilst driving home . This contest is gonna run me outta 303 . I,m gonna have to start buying all 303 that I can see
( Edit note . I hope we all understand that was SNAP CAPS cycled in my house )

SO... I went out into the -20 snow swept prairies of Southern Alberta Sunday and had one final go at this challenge... was able to make a submission for each class. Will post my videos on U tube tomorrow and link it to this thread; wouldve done it tonight but I got home late, and my computer went comatose on me while editing costing me to much time.... and Im tired and gotta go to work tomorrow 
hope this will be ok.
