Last year at the Bluegrass State Games it rained very hard during the smallbore competition.
We were shooting under a roof.
When time came to zero for the start of the 100 yard prone it stoped raining just long enough to check my zero.
I had it zeroed for the ten ring on my practice target and as soon as I started to shoot for score it started to rain very hard. It was raining so hard that you hardly see the targets.
The thing that amazed me was the heavy rain did not effect my zero. My rounds still landed in the ten ring.
Before that day I would have bet the farm that a heavy rain would play hell with a .22 bullet at 100 yards. I would have thought that the rain would cause the rounds to shoot low and I assumed that accuracy would not be so good.
The guy that won the 100 yard prone shot a 198 out of a possible 200 in the heavy rain.
If I remember correctly I shot a 190.
