A picture from today's match

I was going to go, but I figured nobody would be crazy enough to bring a $1000 rifle out in the rain.

I need a good pair of rain pants. My snow pants did not work in the rain. The match was good practice for me. My LGU rifle and Sightron scope did it’s job. Need more work on wind doping skills in hurricane conditions. Hope England is not as bad this match. We had to remove the tent canopies because the wind gusts were too strong.

Wish I had your determination John. I don't even like to bring my guns out on a hot sticky humid North Carolina day.

You guys are hardcore. What were the winds, like 30mph+?

This may be a stupid question, but if one dries their rifles off good, and wipes them down with something like balistol afterwards, why is it not a good thing to shoot them in the rain?

Some people do not like getting their prized possessions wet or dirty. They keep them in safes and don't use them outdoors. Nothing wrong with that.

When you are a serious competitor like in field target, you need to test your equipment (rain gear especially) and train in adverse weather conditions.

Most people won't do that and it's ok. It's not for everyone.
