I wear winter riding boots good to 15 below zero. Colder than that I stay by the woodstove!

RanchRoper,

Good shooting, great report, and great photos as always.

I love steel plates. Great instant feedback, easier to see the hits as well as hear them. Plus, they are reusable. I buy cheap spray paint, $0.99 per can. More expensive stuff doesn't work any better and seems to clog up the valve sooner. But, would Dakota mind the extra weight? 8-)

Unfortunately no steel plates allowed at our range. Too bad. Would love to ring some.
