Long winter
 
Hey all,

It's been a pretty long harsh winter but the weather is finally turning and it's about that time to dust off your bows and get back out there to start shooting! 47 deg today here in PAand alls I gotta say is it's about time.

It has not been a real bitter winter, but definitely long. The cold weather started early and has persisted late. It's going to be in the 60's here today.

Definitely much nicer shooting:D

We had 30 days straight of below zero temps this winter here in WI some kind of record I guess, it was real
tiring.

I have been shooting alot indoors, but I was just thinking last night when I saw the weather that I should outside and shoot today. Definatelya walk if nothing else.

I plan on getting out and hanging some trail cams today, supposed to be in the 50's...hopefully it lasts, I was out shooting in the cold, but I def. prefer this weather over single digits.

It's going to be in the upper 70s-low 80s here in SC this weekend. I can't wait! I'll be slinging some arrows.

If I lived down there I'd shoot EVERYDAY, sometimes I can't shoot here because the target is a block of ICE, and I prefer not to destroy arrows!!!

Shot for a while yesterday, quite enjoyable!!!

Actually, for me it's time to dust off the fishing rods! Trout season will be here in no time. I'll be doing some hunting, but it'll be for native/wild trout!;)

It's still cold here!! I miss shooting so much! this winter has indeed been very long.

I'm afraid spring is not going to stick around for the entire week here in Northwest WI. I think Thursdays low is -2. I do have to say though with most of the snow gone and temps getting up into the 40's it looks promising. Thank god, I am getting sick of cutting wood and filling the fire.
