Shooting in the rain

[Jake Di Vita]

Ignore the rain, bags, complaining, etc... It's only a distraction from the shooting.

Wear a hat too.

Interesting.

I've never shot in the rain. We thought we might have to yesterday, but it didn't rain.

Now, if you want to learn all about shooting in wind and sand, come see us in Hobbs, NM.

My biggest bitch with shooting in the rain (which we do a lot in the Pacific NorthWet, and will be doing yet again in a couple hours today) is that everyone tends to huddle under the shelters and not help reset stages. RO volunteers also tend to be slim. Thus, the MD and RM end up spending most of their day pushing people to work so we can all shoot and get out of the rain. Makes a match go from fun to drudgery very rapidly.

As I usually end up with a timer or clipboard I always have my umbrella handy. An umbrella for the person on clipboard is just about mandatory...unless there are also stiff breezes at the same time. Then all bets are off.
