Shooting in the rain
I live in Florida. Here in the Sunshine state, it rains. A lot. Probably 5 out of the past 7 days it's rained and it will be like this for at least a month.
This led me to question what all the competition shooters and others do when they have to shoot. Besides a gun being a big metal electricity conductor, I can't imagine it's safe to shoot in poor visibility with a lot of mud and a high chance of falls.
What about big competition shoots where people come from around the world? Could they be postponed because of an afternoon of heavy rain.
Not that I would want to, but is it safe to shoot from a covered area while it's raining? It feels unsafe to me but I'm not sure if this is just an emotional reaction or is actually unsafe
