[QUOTE="trebark, post: 422197, member: 19172"] I agree that it doesn't make sense that impacting rain drops on the way to the target should deflect the bullet, but it does not. I actually like to shoot in the rain as it is the ultimate wind flag. You can judge the wind at every distance from rifle to target. The best three shot group I ever shot was in an f-class match in the pouring down rain at 800 yards. I put the first shot in the 10-ring, target came back up with the 2" white spotter in the hole. Next shot, the range mastered report "you hit the spotter". Next shot, range master reported "you hit the spotter!". I just shot a 2" group at 800 yards in the pouring down rain! One of the huge contributing factors was the fact that I could just the wind perfectly. [/QUOTE]
