[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5822974, member: 19900"] A sheet of ice covering your sets is going to hurt you no matter what bedding system you use. 1. Trigger, can the pan move properly? Is ice under the pan? Water Soaked into the bedding material and frozen preventing movement? 2. Trap firing. Can the jaws fire if the pan is triggered? Are they frozen to the ground? (good bedding prevents this) Do they have a layer of ice preventing them from firing? Slowing them down causing a miss? Preventing the jaws from closing completely? A good bedding system using either some type of anti-freeze Gly, salt etc... or some type of water repellent, Waxed dirt, peat moss, etc... will help with freezing conditions. When Mine are frozen in, I either trip them and remake, or if Im feeling lazy, just leave them for the day or two it takes for a thaw. [/QUOTE]
