Talk to those of us who were shooting on Friday evening during the 2001 IDPA Nationals. That was a hell of a front that went through. While we didn't shoot during the worst part of it, everyone was soaked after the day was over. But, that's the breaks. And then there was the Texas State match in McKinney in 2000. There were a number of folks who just called it quits and went home. I can't blame them. It was not only raining, it was cold. Most of them were older folks who have to take more care with their health than those of us under 50.

To me that's the main thing. If the weather is going to present a health hazard; cold and wet, lighting, violent storms, etc, I will not be there.
