What are your winter plans?

[DeaconKC]

As it starts to cool off in most of the nation, it often becomes a time to re-do our shooting hobbies. Are you planning on revamping your persona, outfit, or maybe adding a new gun or holster combo? I will be getting my reloading set up running well again to feed the noisemakers.

I hope to inherit my grandpas reloading equipment the he doesn't use anymore so that I can start that hobby.

Also, my family is moving to Texas!

I plan on doing some Pheasant and Rabbit hunting, then time to get the heaters going in the garage for some winter projects.

Cool, and welcome. Where in this wonderful heater are you looking to move?

As for the original question, I plan to get on with a department, and then down the road from that a bit start a chapter down here. Then I have no idea from there.

I always look forward to cooler weather so I can wear a jacket. This gets the PM9 out of my pocket and puts a 45 [mostly a CW45] on my hip.

[JFootin]

I'm looking to get a Glock 19C, maybe a 3.5 connector or whatever to enhance the trigger, and a couple of holsters to carry it in. It'll be my Christmas present to myself!

[Bawanna]

I plan to pray for Spring, I had frost on my windows this morning, try running a window scraper from a wheelchair Lots of bench time but winter sucks.

Hope to think up some really great handle so I can become a Zoot Shooter too.

Got a bunch of sticks all tuned for my Tommy, need to work on an appropriate handgun. Dillinger got nothing on bawanna baby.

Well I hope it's not North Texas. When I spent a winter in Amarillo, the natives used to say the only thing between there and the North Pole was a barb wire fence. I tended to believe it after being blown off the ice covered sidewalk a few times by the prevailing 20kt "breeze".

As for me, I'll wear my long johns, arctic socks, wrap a blanket around me and read a few dozen books.

ugh. new england winter...

i am trying to add another glock22, this one a 3rdgen (tough to get here in ma) and then convert my old one into a ported 9mm with some upgraded parts to maybe do some club shoots with it in the spring.
i'd also like to play around with kydex & leather because i have some unique ideas for new holsters.
other than that: its football season!!!

Hopefully buying a new house so that I can set up my home firing range. We sold our house back in the beginning of July and have been living with mom ever since. 3 adults, a 6 yr old and 18 month old, two 75lb dogs and a cat in 1600 sq feet is cramped to say the least... Waiting for the right homestead to pop up so we can (pardon the pun) pull the trigger. Minimum of 5 acres is one of the requirements so that we can shoot on it...

[muggsy]

I'm planning on building a black rifle and spending long hours at the reloading bench. I'm also toying with the idea of buying another .45 auto. The XDs has piqued my interest as well as the Kahrs. Decisions, decisions.

[Race Bannon]

I plan to do some reloading, 45ACP is now really my main caliber, Tommy, 1911, 1917. I also am trying to make some contacts to get a ZS group started in Kansas City.

[QuercusMax]

I guess I'm always a bit contrary, but I actually *like* winter quite a bit. That's good because we do get a bit of snow here in the mountains.

It does limit shooting opportunities (I hate indoor ranges, and there really aren't any around anyway), but winter does provide a break from all the things that need to be done outdoors, giving lots of indoor time to read up on stuff, repair things, and plan things - when I'm not out plowing snow (which actually is a lot of fun when you have the right equipment!) or watching the elk herd that winters on the opposite mountainside.

Haven't gotten into reloading yet - no time for it this winter, so maybe next winter. Unless something else comes along.

I'd like to take another defensive pistol class, as it's been awhile. We don't get hardly any snow in this part of Texas so this is always a good time to do outside training without the hellish heat. I'd also like to get my 11 yr old boy some time on my AR. He was a little skittish on trying it a few months back, so we'll see.

Other than that, sure glad football is back...go Bears

[AJBert]

Hoping to fill the freezer with some elk meat in just over a month from now.
