Pining for warmer weather

[Starling Stalker]

I have a serious case of cabin fever (my do to). Bitter cold and snowing here. I have a 25 ft indoor target set up I use in the winter, but I am tired of it. 25 ft means pistol only and I really want to shoot my rifles at 40-50 yards. Give me some sunshine and fresh air and I will spend the entire day shooting. Probably have about 5 more weeks until decent weather. Sometimes I envy you folks that live in warmer climes. Then I think about all that 100+ heat you get and say no thanks. Having serious withdrawals. Need some trigger time. Trying not to whine. Thanks for listening

I hate it for you bud. Right now it’s 69° where I’m at, grilling out some lunch. Has its ups and downs. I do work outdoors and 100° plus for some reason it feels a lot hotter down in Miami when I have to go there. But for the most part you can always do some shooting and there’s always something to shoot at.

I can commiserate....we had 4 days of high 60's to low 70's weather with lots of sun on mild breezes....now we're back to highs in the upper 40's to low 50's and gray skies with drizzle to down pours accompanied by wind.

This is probably why VR hunting sims will take off. Seems like an interesting investment personally and financially.

But that is money that could be spent on airguns.

I am in Michigan and it’s terrible out there today. I also have goodies(lol I like that) to try and a new scope. Really chomping at the bit.

Been going to try some groups with my 3662, but when it's been warm, it's been way too windy to shoot!

Weather decent here, flowers everywhere. Little, shooting but my eyes hurt!

During winter I got a eye infection, ignored it, drops from chemist etc. no better.

Long story short, get your regular eye tests guys.

Visit to a specialist, eye surgery needed plus I have cataract in both eyes. Further surgery.

Nothing major but not exactly a great start to spring.

Stay safe.

 

[Starling Stalker]

Sorry to hear about your eyes. Couldn’t be a worse time of year for it. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

I'll get sorted, thanks.

More just trying to warn others. Get things checked by a specialist.

"drops from chemist etc. no better."

You got some interesting bedside manner, one of your buddies is on fire and you gonna try and put it out with a chain.

Most I'd just snicker and walk away .. like what are friends ( buddies) for anyway?

In real English a pharmacist is called a chemist. So I got my first drops at the chemists, over the counter no prescription.

Second set of drops was prescribed by a doctor, prescription issued.
Visit chemist shop, hand over prescription. Pay my money, get my prescribed drops issued.

Life's a education. .

I'm not so good with American slang, so unfortunately it's UK English or Bulgarian, the choice is available.

Just for clarification, a trunk is a storage box, not part of a car. Perhaps you meant the car boot.

I'm happy to translate for you if ever needed .

Have a nice day ya'all.
