We know what you’re thinking: “New Year’s was weeks ago!” And you’re right. We originally planned to ring in 2026 with a bang on January 1st, but Mother Nature had other plans. Between the biting wind and temperatures cold enough to freeze the whiskers off a brass monkey, we decided that shivering uncontrollably isn’t exactly the best foundation for a steady aim. We figured you’d prefer to keep all your fingers and toes rather than leave them on the range as a frosty New Year’s sacrifice!It is still plenty cold here in Pittsburgh, so we aren’t bold enough to say the frost has settled just yet—but we are certainly hoping for a bit more cooperation from the heavens by the time the event rolls around!
