Ok guys, its supposed to be 37 degrees in IL this weekend. Would you guys still go pattern your guns in this or does it even make a huge difference. Only have 2 more weeks till season so don't want to wait too long.
Thanks

What if its 37 degrees when you are hunting
I would pattern my gun in the same conditions that i'm going to hunt in.....so unless it's gonna warm up a lot before your season opens in two weeks I'd suggest to get out there and pattern the gun :icon_thumright:
All good replies. I live in WV and for the first week at least it is 40 or less in the mornings, often around 30, depending on the year. I like to pattern at 40 degrees. This tells me what my patterns are going to be at this time. You will have a little fall off at 30 degrees, but you will have tightening as it warms up.
Better to shoot now and know what your pattern is than to shoot in 2 weeks and have problems 2 days before the season.
