What, 430 yards of clothes line? Not to sure that will work even half as good as it sounds!
I was thinking more like sending my wife out to put the target up! Yeah, that's going to work!
She complains enough when I send her out to shovel the driveway!

I called it quits for the rest of the month. It was up in the high teens today and I was going to shoot once more but it started snowing hard again making it hard to see a 200 yard target and the temp started falling again, it will drop to -6 tonight and a high of +5 tomorrow and back down to - 24 and Wed. it will be -16 and drop down to -33 I don't know what the wind chill will end up.
But Sat. they are calling for +40 good way to start the month.

Kurt,
It sure has bee a rollercoaster ride with the temps lately. We had 3 for a high today! And it still snowed! So cold that salt doesn't work on the roads. The town crew had a hard time getting their trucks started this morning. I left the house late hoping the road would be plowed, no such luck. When I drove past the town garage there they were feverously working to get the trucks running! We are going thru a bit of a tough time but it will pass, hopefully before pipes start freezing up! Been there done that, don't need to repeat.

Jim, it gets rough when the temp is near or below Zero and hard snow falling with 20 mph winds moving it around, makes one wonder where that global warming is.

Re: 800 yd Postal Modified ( added 200 & 400 yds )
I tried to get out yesterday. I have to finalize my load for my 40-65 High Wall. Set up on the bench and sent several downrange to foul the bore and warm the barrel. After five rounds, I called it quits. Too cold. The thumb and trigger finger were complaining too much to continue. The Polar Vortex is heading South and we are expecting several below zero readings in the next few days. I brought a six day supply of wood into the house, so I don't have to venture out. I hope I can get out before the 5th of next month. I won't be able to shoot for a couple of weeks after the 5th.
Good shooting Smoke.

I thought I was going to get out and do this somehow. Lots of time today because they have closed campus for the 2.5 days, but I think I'll pass. Gonna be a might brisk.

Re: 800 yd Postal Modified ( added 200 & 400 yds )
Me too. I think I could get into the 50's with my 40 but it's toooooooooooooooooo cold. I heard it's supposed to get unseasonably warm on Monday. That's the last day I'll be able to play until mid to late Feb.
I do find it's interesting to see Smoke shooting scope, paper patch and wiping and I shot open sights, greaser, and blow tube. Who would a thunk it. and it wasn't a supposed "target" bullet, but a BACO 500 grain Govt. So many ways to get to the target.
