Cold Weather Shooting Gear! Burrrrrr!
Folks, that time of year is here! Time to get ready for the 2018 season…..getting gear ready, ordering shells, checking gun fit, planning tournament trips, and knocking the rust off your ‘move’. All good things to occupy yourself with during these winter months!
But the winter…….that can be a problem. Whether you are in Minnesota, or Florida, its somewhat colder than the shooters that reside in the area like to shoot in……so its time to prepare for the cold, but to do it in a way you can still move the gun and break the clays! Here are a few items that Elizabeth and I rely on to get us thru the winter months…..
Suggestions From Will:
Beretta Wind-stopper Sweater (http://www.berettausa.com/en-us/beretta-techo-windshield-short-zip-sweater/ )
This is an essential clothing item. The Beretta sweater is my favorite item in the Beretta clothing lineup. Super warm, with minimal bulk, and the inside liner is made to cut the wind, and in our experience, and will ward off a light shower. They have a ‘short zip’ and a ‘full zip’ model…..we like the short zip the best.
Le Chameau Boots (https://www.lechameau.com/us/mens-chasseur-leather-boot.html?c=283 )
I got my Le Chameau boots back in 2005, and they are still holding up just fine. I never would have thought that I would wear ‘fancy French rubber farmer boots’, but there is a reason they are so popular in Europe, they flat out work! The leather lined models don’t have the ‘clammy’ feel that normal rubber boots have, and the full length side zipper makes them easy to get on and off. They have plenty of arch support. I always have mine with me!
Wind Shirt (https://store.krieghoff.com/product/krieghoff-windbreaker-navytan/ )
The wind is your enemy win it comes to cold weather comfort, and I find a ‘windshirt’ essential. I provided a link to my favorite one with the Krieghoff logo, as it happens to be the one I wear the most. Not only does it stop the wind, it hold in the warmth. I find that with a light fleece, and the wind shirt on over it, I can handle the cold wind quite well!
These are just some of my favorite items I use daily teaching, shooting and hunting in the colder months. Your Milage MayVary, but we I years of experience with these items, and I use with confidence!
One last item….I recommend a Big Hairy DAWG to keep you warm and entertained! Definitely!
