When is it too hot to shot outdoors?

[redtank]

They stop flying jets at around 124°F or so, cause the air is too thin. So does the air get too thin to hold up pellets or is it too hot to go outside and shoot? :emoticon: Where do you draw the line?

When you don't want to go outside because it's to hot out.

Anything over 80ish is WAY too hot, - avoid leaving the house if possible when it gets 90ish.

90 take's all the fun out for me,just to hot to relax & enjoy.

I stop shooting at about 98 degrees. I starting sweating to much to shoot worth beans.

I stop mowing the grass (push mower) anywhere from 95 to 100 degrees, depending on the wind. I don’t have air conditioning so why not get some work done if I’m going to be miserable anyway.

Heat is something you get use to living in South Texas.

There is always HOT....DRY...AZ.  At least the humidity is on the weak side.

Here what you need to do when It’s too hot to shoot outside.
Develop shooting lane from every window in the house. Best to do this when the wife is not home. Go out in the morning when it’s cooler to set up target in shooting lanes.
Then when it’s too hot to shot outside turn up the AC and play sniper. Running from window to window picking off your targets. LOL You will have to wait till morning again to reset targets. LOL
 85 is about it for me anything hotter than that I done.

It ain't the heat that bothers me,....it's the humidity that makes shooting  miserable. Once in the +80% humidity range, I call it quits. tjk

Just don't forget to stick the barrel out or compensate for not hitting the ledge of the window!

I'm up here in N. Texas, and the humidity is bad during May and June, I still shoot outside up to say 100°. I put up a beach umbrella and if there is no breeze, I park a box fan pointed in my direction which works pretty good. Some folks around here shoot later in the early evening when it cools back down to 95 or so.

Having live with the South Texas heat for 52 years, it’s something you get use to. Even in winter it will get in the 90s.

Now the humidity is what makes it rough. Living so close (50 miles) to the coast the humidity seldom drops below 50% and with all the rain we been having lately, it hasn’t been below 85% in weeks (90% right now).

Oh I'm not so tough, when the mercury hits 59 degrees, I’m under the covers in a pair of long-johns.

Dry heat is fine if I`m under some shade.  It`s the humidity that makes everyone suffer.  I think the hottest temps I`ve shot in was in the +38C with humidity....don`t know exactly what that is in F.

[North Pack]

That's 100.4* F Gamo - I wouldn't even leave the house.
