At what point do you call off a range day due to weather? I

I'm not a super tuff guy who glorifies doing things in shitty conditions intentionally, I like to be comfortable and enjoy my leisure activities, but sometimes it is fun to take something you normally do one way and change the scenery. I rarely see snow so I like to shoot in the snow.

I went to the range with my nugget on day where it snowed in the morning.

Just me and the range officer. It felt good shooting my nugget in the cold.

Snow is fun to shoot in

-40C/F or powerful storm.

As long as I can physically get to and from the range, range day is on.

That's more of a case by case call mate. I'd probably call off a range day in snow at a temp I couldn't stand in comfortably for more than an hour. Also if it's pissing down snow while shooting. Also take into account getting to the range. Can your car do it? Also how desperately do you want to shoot/need to shoot. If this is your only opening to shoot for a while then go for it. If shooting comes by often then save for a better day.

I call it off when I can't drive there, be it very heavy rain or snow or just iced roads. Even very hot day, although it would have to be REALLY hot.

Heavy rain is all we get and hurricanes, so, really really, heavy rain. I just bring a change of clothes and pretend I'm invading Britain.

people regularly get killed by tree falls here and if strong winds come through the roads can be blocked for a few days. i've cut and pulled my way out through fallen trees when storms hit during hunting seasons past but i'm not cutting my way into the woods unless i've had it planned months ahead.
i don't mind shooting in the cold, snow, or heat and frequently shoot in rain.
i think i actually prefer shooting in the winter because fewer people are innawoods.

It was ruskies wasn't it? I knew I fucked something up when I typed that but I couldn't be bothered checking wikipedia to be sure.

I try to avoid rain. That's to say if I'm standing at home and it's pouring I'll call it. If I make it as far as the car it's on!

I own an umbrella for a reason.

I've only ever shot in snow twice. I was already up at my bros cabin, when it snowed. 15 yrs working in that shit I've had my fill of cold!

Ive' gone in very cold temperatures, below zero. It's usually not fun and if your range is a long drive away, it's not worth the trip

temperature is what usually turns me off

I won't go alone below maybe 20, but I'll go down to about 0 or -5 if friends are going

We usually end up only going for an hour in that temp and that's boring

the only time I won't go is if the roads are impassable. I live in a very hilly area, so when the snow and ice comes (thankfully it's rare) I actually can't get to any of my shooting spots because they're all up in the hills on unplowed logging roads. In fact, I'm unable to shoot right now. It's been the roughest winter here (oregon) we've had in many years, so all the access roads in the hills are coated in ice and snow, even though the actual roads are paved and totally driveable. it's frustrating.
