It was HOT! Took double my normal amount of water and still left thirsty. I need a way to shoot from the comfort of my cars AC.
Sure was more difficult w the mirage.
Went to the range, It was HOT 🥵

I always tell new to Phoenix people. Bitching about the heat doesn't make it cooler.

I use an insulated hunting blind shooting through the window with an AC plugged into a generator to keep it a few degrees cooler on my private range.

Re: Went to the range, It was HOT 🥵
That advice makes beyond no sense. I go out to BLACK CANYON (what we called the place “back in the day”) in the summer all the time-been doing so since Jack Williams was governor and Ben Avery had a outdoor column in the local newspaper. You seriously wear a big Snowbird hat PLUS neck scarf and soak your shirt with water to spend 100 minutes (that’s the maximum time you can reserve a slot on the Public Range now) in the shade!? What’s next-dressing up like the “Invisible Man” or T.E. Lawrence!? The only time you’re in the sun is going from your car to the line, and then posting and retrieving targets-that’s like ten minutes total. You’re not trekking across Death Valley for Chrissakes! Oh wait-I know, you’re covering up cuz’ your a VAMPIRE! In that case I retract my snarky comments as I don’t wanna see nobody catch fire when there is ammunition close by.smithers599 wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2022, 7:45 pm I went to Ben Avery on Thursday.
Don't be no fool. No t-shirts and shorts. Cover up as much skin as you can. Big floppy hat with the neck scarf in back.
Pro tip: soak your shirt in water, and put it on dripping wet. You will actually be chilly as it evaporates. Coolness, and protection against sunburn and skin cancer.

Indoor range is my choice during the hot months, basically only good for pistol shooting, but still good to get out.

Finely some sanity to this thread.

Just imagine the whining if they had to actually work in this heat.
