I have, on many occasions, wanted to quit and go home, but never have, and have never shot a match that was called due to the weather. I was shooting a 3-gun match in Ephrata, WA last Saturday, and it started raining on the first stage. Nine hours later, we were done. Probably the most miserable I've been at a match, and if it had been a local match, for which I'd paid a $15 match fee, I would have left after three stages. As it was, I had about $150 in match fees, transportation, accommodations, etc., so stuck it out.
