I shot my best score ever with Grunt heckling me on a weekend in February. All good advice above my post. I did everything mentioned with the exception of the hand warmers.
My 1st Appleseed at MCFG was wet cold and snowy. Those heat packs were wonderful on the colder day #2. Our real problem though was standing water on the firing line. The line there is gravel. The rubber backed rug was useless & soaked up the water. My daughter did not have water proof boots and the toes soaked up the cold water. Poor kid got so cold she couldn't load mags (maybe that was a trick to get me to load her mags. Hmm...). She put the heat packs inside her boots which helped a lot.
There is wisdom in what you state.Great tips. Did anyone shoot the qualifying day with a 22 or did you a centerfire? I have a Ruger 10/22 with Tech sights and a M&P15. I figure the first day will be all 22 and by the end of the day I should be quite confident in it, so why not qualify with it?
My first Appleseed experience (mini-seed) got canceled in the middle due to the weather. By the time they called it, everyone who was prone was laying in several inches of ice water standing on a tarp. Cold is manageable, but that cold plus that wet is too dangerous to continue.
I kinda remember that one
