Most events in California, Nevada, Arizona have multiple Pop ups either on the firing line or behind the safety line. If you look at the AAR's you will see them.
I've heard that some in California even have "Misters" installed to help combat the heat. like this http://www.acecanopy.com/popuptemifor.html
When shooting in high temperature environment where the temperatures regularly exceed 100 degree's. And at times approach 120 (July Kingman AZ shoot) Pop ups becomes less of a comfort feature and more of a safety feature. We want to wake up our shooters not barbeque them. We often shoot in the sun and teach in the shade of a pop up or a line of them.
All in all, we are glad that we don't have to shovel sunshine. And that we don't have to shovel snow to shoot prone.
Pop ups. Water. Sunscreen and persistence.

Is it okay to bring one of those quick opening overhead shelters to combat the August sun?
