Jim Norman Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We were looking forward this week to a really great match, had 100 people registered to shoot on Sunday. Weather forecast was bad, then it got good and now it really sucks. Rain starting tonight and continuing through till Monday sometime. Likely near to three inches. Not good weather for a match. Did I mention that I HATE bad weather on match days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Same front just went through here last night and this morning. Not as much rain as you are looking to get but our match tomorrow is supposed to only be in the 30's to start with windy conditions. I think it will be brutal. Here's to hoping we will all enjoy enough great matches this year to forget all about the crappy ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basman Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Calling for up to 3 inches of rain in Northern Virginia on Sunday, the range might be under water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Vmax Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I hate that when it happens, especially when its nice the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Could be almost as bad, we went from 60's and rain to 90's in two days. Nobody was really prepared for it, but had fun still. But hard weather shifts really stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Santiago Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Happened to me last year. On vacation in NJ looking forward to shooting the CJ match and got rained out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 We went through this at Southern Chester this past weekend. Right up until the morning of the match, we were not sure if it was going to rain or when it might start. About 10 pre-registered people didn't show, perhaps because of the forecast, and all day long we kept swapping clear skies for black clouds. Rain didn't start until nearly 7pm! Not complaining about the rain not starting, mind you. Just saying I could have done without all the drama... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
