Everything has its silver lining. I live on the top of a ridge which means almost constant wind (5 to 7 mph is a calm day) . I do however get some awesome sunsets and NO mosquitoes.

Yahoo!! 70 degrees, sunshine (but not too bright) and snow is all melted. Only a light breeze - pretty darn good shooting conditions and to top it off I'm home a little early. Problem is I'm home because it is my turn to drive my daughter to practice.
Oh well, thanks anyway Mother Nature. Hope the rest of you get to enjoy it

This was yesterday. 50s and overcast. Prime time shooting weather. Wish it were a bit warmer but I’m definitely NOT complaining after seeing some of you guys snowy weather.

Yes! Spring has sprung! The trees are budding. The first flowers have bloomed. One of the cats left us a first season kill on the front porch. There is a crow perched on top of my pellet trap.
Thanks Mother Nature!!

Rodeo You mentioned about your target box - try the 5 gal. bucket method, I cut the center of the lid out but leave about 1 in from the inside edge- then cut a piece of fiber brd. & screw it to the lid. Then screw two pieces of flashing 1x6 in ( the height of your paper target) to it. I use cabinet magnets to hold the targets. You can even add extra flashing to the top of the bucket ( over hang ) to protect the target. Forgot to mention that I cover the fib brd. with duct tape on both sides ,seems to hold up better & keeps the mulch in. Just a thought Darell

Thanks Darell. I like the duct tape idea. I have plenty of empty buckets. My pellet trap is one that I originally made for indoors. I just moved it outside when I built a more robust indoor trap. I wish that I could find a cheap (ideally free) source of plastic cardboard. That would be perfect for an outdoor trap.

Rodeo Thanks for the plastic cardboard idea ! People clutter the roads around here with signs- school bonds, homes for sale, people running for office, ect I used to use there stakes for my garden, I always have a collection pulling them off my property along the frontage road, by the way I hated those plastic ones, hard to cut up to put in the garbage can. Now that I have use for them I probably won't find them. Darell

I feel for ya Bob. I'm originally from Green Bay. My wife's first trip to Wisconsin was in August. "Oh, this is nice. Maybe we should move here". She changed her mind on the next trip. Lol
114661 miles - getting your money out of that one!
I just hit 190k on mine.
Darell, after the next election we can collect enough of those signs to last another 4 years.

I wonder if the wife would have me institutionalized if I put a 2yd by 100yd extention on the house?

NOT looking forward to this weekend. My son has an out of state soccer tournament and its supposed to snow. Come on Mother Nature! I put away the snowblower.
Maybe the weather is my fault. I forgot to do the spring sunshine dance because I was busy shoveling.
