After many folks stop shooting during the cold seasons (or at least slow down) they can be not as well prepared when it becomes a bit warmer and easier to shoot. During this time, and many others, we can end up in ruts where we can’t produce creatively due to burn out or not having the ideas to begin with.
Here are a couple of ideas on how you can escape this problem.
