Things I love about spring near the Rockies

Still gonna be a little bit before the snow melts off the mountains and the wind calms down. Good exercise chasing targets ,umbrellas, and other items on the bench.

That's funny you captured in the video the target getting ripped off the stand and flying away!

Ha, that is my world about 4-5 days a week here west of you in northern AZ and pretty much from March until the monsoon comes in July. Except you're much braver practicing in those conditions. I kinda hate being outside when its that windy.

I did some FT practice in 8-15 mph last week and got decent at hitting the 50 and 55Y KZ's then comes the night match and it was almost calm. Figures that would happen huh?!

I'll never feel sorry for anyone who lives in Colorado ...

We maybe got a foot of snow total all last winter, and it was gone in a day or two. Drive an hour east from here and you’ll get a ton of snow. Late August to early November is my favorite time of year here. 60-80 degree daytime temps and clear blue sky.

It is raining by the bucketful at Raton, right now. They are way behind on moisture and every drop is needed. We have our kid's rifle team competition this weekend and temps are in the 60's with rain and hail. Down home on the other end of the state, it's 100 degrees. Makes for energetic atmosphere, for sure. We had a funnel cloud yesterday right outside Raton.

I am with Mike, autumn in the Rockies can't be beaten. It is the best times.

Good luck to you guys, Jim.
