As many of you will know if you live in the UK , we have been experiencing a mini heat wave here and it’s resulted in several areas now having hose pipe bans and talk of drought, harking back to the summer of 1976. Yes, I am that old that I remember that summer. 

It’s also triggered a question from a follower asking for my thoughts, and advice on what might be suitable clothing and other considerations for shooting in warmer weather.

In response I’ve recorded this episode where I give a few ideas of things to consider when shooting in warm weather and I’ve expanded it a bit to include some thoughts on shooting in cold weather. Below you can listen to the episode via Spotify or via Amazon (https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/c649e917-695a-4c30-aa50-d99742ccd824/off-the-arrow-shelf)

Lets be clear, I’m not a medical expert and offering my thoughts based on personal experience. For this reason I’ve found the NHS UK guidelines on Heat stroke and Heat exhaustion. The key thing to remember is the importance of hydrations, and that children don’t often recognise symptoms so keep an eye on them in warm weather. Please also consider other members of your shooting group too.
