    Not even cold (40F) or wind (20mph) can stop the shooter from his task....what's up with the weather, 24 tonight will be an all time low for April

    I shot lax last night in the 20's! The worst part was that it was warm when the game started, but quickly got very cold,sp I wasn't dressed well

    actually i had alot of fun except the game was a 4 inninng blow out 11-0 (in HS they stop at 4 innings if 1 team is ahead by 10 or more i think)

    Randy, #5. What a great frozen ball shot. How fast to freeze that if I may ask?
    Frank's right, still frigid here outside Chicago. For another week at least. Both my kids in soccer & baseball start next week !

    thx Jim....
    1/2000, but it's still alot of luck since AF is right on his face and the ball is in front of him. at f4 i got lucky.
    At the plate the ball is parallel to the player so dof will help you freeze more often...at the plate i prefer 1/4000 for a fast ball pitcher. I use my left eye for the view finder and watch the pitcher w/ my rt eye. I do not fire bursts but time the pitch/shot and shoot once. After 1-2 games it becomes easy.

    Nice shots Randy. Three of them are almost exactly the same. How about some variety? For spring sports, I keep a backpack of layers in my truck, including overpants and rain gear. Three three different gloves 1) Nomex flight gloves when it's not too cold; 2) ski gloves when it's cold; and mittens for when it's super cold. I can shoot with the Nomex and ski gloves on, but the mittens have a hole for my shooting finger.

    Randy,
