Raining very hard today here in VA. Coming straight down in large drops with little to no wind. I'm one of the lucky ones that have access to 110+ yards to shoot by opening my back door and using my breakfast table as an ad hoc bench rest. Shooting today at 98 yards at a birchwood Casey metal spinner target with 3 5/8", 2 1/4" and 1 5/8" circles. .22 wildcat with JSB 18gr @893fps.
i can't wrap my head around how there seems to be no discernible effect from the heavy rain on the 3.5 mil holdover I use normally at 98yrds. By comparison, a small stem of a weed or brush or light wind can easily deflect a diabolo pellet off course. I am wondering how many of those rain drops that little pellet must hit on its way to target. Strange.
