    Saturday, 200 meters under stormy weather: wind, rain and snow.
    Low light but still acceptable shooting with my wonderful Brazilianicon Mauser.
    The first target got melted and ripped by the wind and water while getting back to the shooting position, the second held a bit better.
    Visibility was a bit of an issue at times, as well as wind, but I enjoyed my day!
    Next time...

    I sort of love rainy days at the range. I take a Cuban cigar with me ( they are reserved for hunting camp and rainy range days). When the rain gets too heavy, smoke my cigar, enjoy the mountains and peacefulness, play with my rifle etc and wait for a break. usually no fools at the range (except me ! It's supposed to rain tomorrow, range just opened last week (COVID 19 shutdown), so I'm taking some Mosin's and an SVT out to play!
