PEARL DRUMS:
Low 30s isn't even jacket weather yet, eh' :)

All joking aside, try the vest idea. If you keep your core warm your arms need very little protection.

Hawkdancer:
Wear a warm hat, as well!  Helps keep the blood flow to your hands and feet!  Plan B -stay inside where it is warm!  >:D (lol).  A couple layers of wool or polypropylene under a vest should be enough to be comfortable on the range without too much. Bulk.

Like Kyle said, arm guard works for me. :)

As of now we have 14 inches of snow on the ground from last week's storm and another 7 to 14 inches on the way in the next 48 hours.  Our highs might have broke the low 20's.   It's a great time to go out and shoot something  ;D

I think I'll try the arm guard idea,  I'm a desert rat at heart and not sure a vest/sweater combo will cut it for me.

BowEd:
The solution I came up with was this.A tight fitting elastic camoflauged gortex like material tube.I usually don't even wear arm gaurds any more.
