taco101 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I picked up a new to me open gun and I am chomping at the bit to shoot a match. We try to shoot every weekend so I figured it would be easy... For the past 3 weekends the matches were cancelled for rain. Lets see how 4th saturday pans out...

Tom S. Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Many years ago, we had a stretch like that that caused the standing joke: "What follows two days of rain? Monday." Hang in there, can't go on forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshoot Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Local matches cancelled for rain? Not in my neck of the woods! We shoot rain or shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Local matches cancelled for rain? Not in my neck of the woods! We shoot rain or shine. You guys have to...you only get to shoot 4 months out of the year, the other 8 months yer buried in snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We shoot in the rain all the time out here too. It sucks, but you get used to it. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Shooting in the rain is not that bad - unless the ground is super saturated with standing water and a lot of mud. We cancel, not because of rain, but because of unsafe ground conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taco101 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 We live in the desert. When it rains the dirt becomes a nasty slippery mess. The wind that accompanies it in the spring can blow a stage flat. I understand it....and we can use the moisture....but I have a new gun and haven't got to race it yet!!!

DagoRed Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I think I've had three cancelled on me in the last few months. Seems like rain always waits till the weekend. It never rains Tuesday-Thursday. I hate it Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I feel your pain. My club puts on a multi gun match on the 5th Saturday of each month. It's rained on the days leading up to that day each time now for the past 3 matches. The range we host the match at is considered a flood plain. It's been about 9 months since I last shot that match. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
