finding it hard to go out to practice
Is anyone finding it hard to go outside to practice with this heat? I am. Heat index was over 108 and tomorrow is supposed to be worse. Sux cause I've really got the itch. Sooner or later I'm probably just going to go get heat stroke.

Yep. In fact, I just don't do it. Call me baby if ya want, but it's darn hot out there!!!!
There are benefits to working at a pro shop though.......I don't have to pay to shoot. Nice and cool in there!

I don't feel too bad about it. I have been shooting better this year than I have yet. But I have not shot in about a week or two. It has just been to darn hot round here.

yea either 1st thing in the am, or right before dark. Plus you can try taking only 2-3 shots. Helps you focus on that 1st shot which is what matters when afield.

93 deg and 60%+/- humidity (up to 70% just after the rain).
It was beutiful today!
Can't wait till tomorrow. 97 deg for a high. I don't work till 11pm so I'll be out back shooting the bow in the afternoon after I get home from putting up trail cams at our cabin.
I love this weather.
Serriously, I do.

I hear ya, with the heat the way it is no one in there right mind ( or is it left ) wouldn't be out unless they had to.
I'm with txrookie and rybo if your gonna practice, get it done real early or wait until the temp gets cooler.
On the weekends I'll be the first one at the 3D range, sometimes right when they open up for the day.
But on the week day I'll wait for the sun to start setting.
