Winter matches

Forgive my ignorance but, are the matches dependant upon the temperature like Wartrace (won't shoot if it's under 40 degrees)?

There are no set rules about the matches and weather. Of course saftey is always in mind. We changed the start times for our January matches to 10:00 hopeing it would be a few degrees warmer and the sun high in the sky. We do the same in the summer months trying to beat the heat.
Matches can be called off due to unsafe conditions, lighting, ice and snow etc.
As of now, we plan on shooting our January matches Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday starting at 10:00am. It will be cold and we will have a couple of propane heaters. Dress for the weather.
Watch the forum for any changes.

Small clarification, we call off the matches if the forecasted high for the day is less than 40 degrees.

Thanks
