Not sure about Central NY but from what I'm seeing on the news, Eastern NY is going to get hit 10 times worse than I did here. Anyway, you stay safe and warm my friend....
If you look at the last picture in my original message, you see a shed. It is half underground and a groundhog lives in there. I see him year round out eating grass in the yard as long as its not snow covered or down in the 20's. Last time I saw him was middle of December.And wasn't it a guy from VA that posted he saw his first woodchuck on jan 1? See, that is what ya get!
I'm in Virginia. The match is really an informal get-to-gather a few of my friends and I do a couple of times a month on the farm. We got tired of driving hours to benchrest anything over 200 yards so we put a few benches together under an old enclosed birthing shed looking out over three non grazing fields for a total of 1250 yards. You can shoot level at 600 yards but 1000 yards is in a dip. Some of the guys that are 1000 yard shooters want to build a tall target stand at 1000 but that would have to be around 8-10 feet high to see the target. Seems to me the slightest wind would make that unstable. They can shoot level at 965 and 1035. But I got my 600, so I'm happy.
I'm a retired builder. Let's find a couple more guys, go down there and build a bunk house.
I can build a target stand that'll stand up to a hurricane!
