Now that it's fall time, I feel like I want to shoot more. Maybe it's the cooler weather, I don't know, but I do know that the atmosphere makes me want to more.

Is anyone else this way where they have a certain season of year they shoot more than others?

[tarosean]

Living near the Gulf Coast I really don't shoot in July/Aug. Just to darn hot outside, I think I get off one round per gallon of sweat in the eyes.

I don`t know, I shoot all the time.................

[ColtPythonElite]

I shoot at least one day a week in the summer and 2 or 3 a week the rest of the year.

[Sam1911]

I shoot every week, and hit 1-4 matches just about every month, but I do like the fall season for shooting. Just a lot more comfortable, and quite pretty outside.

These days the match schedule is so jammed full that there are even large regional matches almost every month, as it seems every club is vying to run a big one, but the ones in the fall are just more fun and comfortable.

I don't shoot in cold Winter

[cfullgraf]

I shoot year round in Tennessee. Winters are mostly moderate. Summers have their moments. I do tend to stay inside when the temperature hits extremes.

I do tend to stop shooting skeet in the summer.

I know my local municipal range is crammed with guys wanting to zero their rifles for the hunting seasons.

I try to go year round. Dress appropriately and go.

[Kyle M.]

I shoot more during the cold months than the warm ones. I hate hot weather and I can always add clothing when it's cold, I cant exactly get rid of it when it's hot.

[ny32182]

I try to keep it balanced year round, but realistically my round count is less in November through March months.

[SlowFuse]

I don't know if you would consider this "seasonal shooting" but I tend to stay inside and reload instead of shooting on days that have extremely hot or cold temps.

[gojuice101]

I generally like to shoot most of the year. However, I find that during the fall I'm getting in the mood for hunting season and I tend to shoot more often. Besides, its a lot cooler than summertime.

[Tinpig]

I shoot faster in the winter to warm my hands on the rifle barrel. I also stuff hot brass down my neck.

In South Georgia, shooting is an October to May activity. July thru September is just way too hot.

Hello, monotonous. Yes, especially after that hot summer! It seems after the mowing season is over, and boat winterized, I have a little more spare time..only on Sundays though..still working 60 hrs.
There is a downside though...rifle range at club is usually deserted except for a few die hards from Spring thru early Fall.
But then they open it up to general public...for a fee for sight-in-days...What a circus!..nearly got shot last year when old fellow (long-time club member) couldn't understand why he couldn't fire with people downrange! Then there are the guys who try to shoot wrong ammunition..."Well it says .30 on barrel"!
During this time..I usually go over to pistol range & work with the short guns.

I love being outside this time of year, whether it's a trip to the range or a hike through the woods. Just something about the chill in the air that feels good to me when I'm outdoors.

[Clayton86]

I shoot all year summer months its at paper and ground hogs soon as cool air hits and the fall smallmouth bite is tapering off coyote season opens and I'm out every chance I get sometimes I even double duty it and hunt and fish at the same time. Fall though I stop shooting to shoot and it becomes shooting for fur mostly maybe some back straps in November but I primarily predator hunt.

[2zulu1]

I try to get in 500 rounds/week to 1,000 rounds/month year round. Autumn is a really nice time of the year, typically less wind with temps in the 80s to low 90s and lots of blue sky. I mostly shoot 45auto, 38 Super, 9mm and 357mag; but I have a lot of 10mm and 44mag ready to shoot. :)

[danweasel]

Yep, I definitely shoot more in Fall and Spring. Winter is still a shooting season but it's less enjoyable at double-digit negative temps. Summer there is only so much time and I have better things to do than hang out at a range. I shoot probably 2-3 times a month in the summer.

[clamman]

I have a range in the woods behind my shop. In the summer it's just too hot and too many skeeters to enjoy yourself. It's cooling off now, so it won't be long, and I'll be back there a LOT.

[Walkalong]

While I go shoot in July when it is 100 degrees out, I like to take advantage of spring and fall for the comfort. So yes, while I shoot all year, I shoot more in nicer weather.

[Jim Watson]

In my younger years, I did well in the Summer. Kind of like a baseball pitcher, I shot better after I worked up a sweat. Not as resilient now, though.

I have always hated the cold. A chilled trigger finger just one side of it.

[Reloadron]

The spring, summer and fall seasons are nice for the outdoor range(s) and when it gets real cold I use the indoor range more. I tend to load rifle during the winters and handgun during the summer. Works for me in NE Ohio anyway.
