Went to Fredricksburg, VA this weekend for the last IPSC shoot for 2006. It was a busy work week, so I did not get my usual dry fire time in. The weather was a little cold in the early going. Hands were numb. Feet and legs feeling really cement like slow.
So the day went rather badly:
1) Many hostage (no shoot targets) killed. Perhaps in 5 of the 7 courses of fire at least 1 hostage hit.
2) Accuracy down the tubes.
3) Speed not too good either. Probably 7-10 seconds per stage slower than my usual times.
So the question to the professional shooters out there:
Do you change your shooting habits / techniques in bad / cold weather? If so what special things do you do to perform better?
