Yes the cold really does suck the life out of shooting outdoors here. I tell you once I hit retirement age there will be some traveling to warmer climates for some shooting. I love winter to a point and once that point hits it could just go away!
I guess I wouldn't know! Don't get much snow here and I tend not to shoot in the nastier lashing weather anyway - throws your aim off. Not to mention being massively uncomfortable! But hey, looks like you had fun in the snow :) Cheers for reply.
Greg, Excellent idea! I will try to enlist our dog in the next video. Maybe I could just duct tape a can of beer around her neck. Leif spends most of his spare time Snowboarding and has been little help with videos lately. Except for his cameo appearance today.
And that was a cameo that would make Lars smile, I know it did me! BTW, Took another step today towards shooting like you. When I shoot left handed, I can now touch the string to my eyebrow!
Great video mate. A slight deviation from archery here. Could you let me know where you got your pullover? It looks like a good bit of kit. I like the double layer over the chest. Thanks very much
Hello Meddice. Teresa Asbell wool Mackinaw. gfredasbell.com/gfa_wool_clothing.php It's not as warm as my Boreal shirt by empire canvas, but it's about half the price. The Boreal shirt is the green shirt on the other videos. I understand the Teresa Asbell is now making a heavier shirt like the Boreal. We may have to try one of those for our son next year. :-)
Use thumb draw faster and one contact on the string - better. Also side quivers are better. Faster and doesn't hurt your shoulders. Thumb draw is superior to med. draw.
I just stumbled onto your video as I was looking for info on shooting my longbow in the winter. Couldn't believe I got a mention! Thanks bub!
Holly Crap. I made it big time. The Hillbillyweatherman commented on my channel!
You've got a great positive energy about you when you do these videos. Was very entertained and enjoyed the content. Thank you
Right on !
This guy looks exactly like the kind of guy that would give you archery tips for shooting a bow in the snow.
Nice! Great bow! Reminded me to get back out with mine, I miss it!!!!
Can't wait to see you with your bow.
Another cool video Jeff. I love how you just thumb your nose at a little snow.
Arron a little snow is nothing compared with the temperatures you have to endure. :-)

ok.. got all that... one question... where do you get all the snow. can't find any here in southern California. ;-)
Just head up to the Mammoth Lake region. Looks like they have plenty of snow.
Phew! I thought shooting in the woods here in England was cold, but that's got to be freezing! Must be great having that empty space out there.
Cold rain and wind is much worse then a little fluffy snow any day of the week.

I think you forgot one thing ..... the Saint Bernard with the barrel around the neck. For when your shooting bad and losing arrows!

TheNockingPoint Great. Thanks for the followup

Hello, @stephenjones7090 Excellent idea. When will we see your video on how to use a thumb ring in the snow?
@@TheNockingPoint I think you will more sucess with thumb draw in the snow.
Our son watched this and asked halfway through. You did the whole thing serious? Hard to believe isn't it. :-)
Keep shooting man, We will need every archer we can get for when the Zombies come...
How tall are you, and what size is that wool jacket?
5' 11' I will have to check on the size. What to but it? I have about 4 wool hoodies and have not used this one in a long time.
What were you shooting at ?
a standard round archery target on a field stand.
your videos are awesome Jeff
Thank you Hensen. I was in the middle of watching your first shots with your new bow when this comment came in. :-)
TheNockingPoint cool! thanks for watching. im planning on giving you call later on
