Yesterday at our local IDPA (Style) match it began raining so hard that we actually called off score keeping. The paper was so wet that pens wouldn't write without tearing the sheets, and towards the end we even had a hard time taping targets. The rain was non-existant for the start of first stage, but in less than ten minutes after the day started it was pouring. A few people up and left but most of us remained there and shot the stages with each shooter being timed, and just being told his time afterwards. It was a blast to compete in the rain, and made every action that much more difficult. On one stage with two mandatory reloads there were mags being dropped every few shooters, and one shooter actually dropped two. All in all, a fun day that showed everyone involved just how difficult things can be in realistic situations that aren't sunny and 65.
