Winter 3Gun ?

You're either in or you're out, regardless of conditions.

Saying you want to shoot a winter match that someone else organizes, but only if it's not too cold, doesn't exactly imply dedication.

-30 as a threshold is pretty decent dedication to me

Trouble is, what do you do when your shooters show up to play and your volunteers don't because it's "too cold"? I'm with Stevo; you commit to help, you do so fair weather or foul. I'm lucky though, I've got a crew that's as hard/stubborn/foolish as I am...if the shooters are tough enough for the conditions then you can bet I'm tough enough to stand out there with a timer!

Ok then, count me in regardless of weather conditions ! But I draw the line at having to take time off work to do a winter 3gun. And by your definition of dedicated, it looks like the vast majority of 3gun enthusiasts aren't dedicated then.

Myself and most of my volunteers take Friday off work to help set up our matches, they're just awesome that way.
3gun enthusiasts aren't dedicated??? Seriously? Our matches sell out year-round and the -23 deg C match that was mentioned above, guess how many cancellations/no-shows?
None.

Hey, all I wanted to know was if there was any interest in winter 3gun. Now, thanks to you, the thread has degraded to a petty argument about dedication. Not worth the trouble. I'm out.

Thanks to me? I was only trying to point out that there are many 3gun enthusiasts that are dedicated enough to organize, run, and shoot matches in the winter.
You'll have to try and forgive the chill that you may have felt in this thread...those that put in the significant effort and time required to make these sorts of matches happen get a little tired of those who are unwilling to do more than sit back and complain or make excuses. As Banger said, "Build it and they will come."
