This mild PA January means my classes are full.

[Adam Helmer]

Our January 2012 has been very balmy here in northcentral PA. It was 59 degrees and sunny last Saturday and today was sunny and 46 degrees. Normally, our mid-January is snowy and near zero. Many of my students have called and showed up for range sessions. The rain and sleet is forecast for tonight and through the weekend. I had full classes every day for the last week. We shot a lot and the folks benefitted from trigger time in January.

I have always shot outdoors all winter long unless it was blizzard conditions. In this day of gortex and other winter garmets, there is no reason to lay off range time in winter in these Northern lattitudes. You may need to use your CCW arm in January, so shoot on the range and experience a similiarity of conditions.
