Does bad weather put you off target shooting?

Yes? No? Why/why not?

Thanks

Nope.

Why not? All my rifles are classic military, bad weather wont hurt them and I like the challenge of shooting in the wind, rain, snow etc.

Practice makes perfect

Not at all. I have shot in every imaginable UK weather conditions from snow to torrential rain to to 25 minutes of wind to 30C+ Things to remember for me are the right gear for the day.

About the only thing that nearly stopped me shooting was sliding sideways on an icy road in 4 wheel drive, I really thought we were going to join the other cars in the ditch but we managed to get through and had a good albeit very cold days shooting (December 2010 Barton Road)

Learning to shoot in all types of bad weather makes you a better shot. The only limiting weather for me is fog.

If it fecking rains I am out.

Everything else does not bother me, in fact nothing bothers me however I do not want my rifle wet :-P

EDIT

Mirage, always makes me smile. It is very rewarding to hit the target when it keeps "moving" due to the heat.

Harharhar... So speaks the woman that took 20 minutes to take 5 shots one day, when I asked her what the problem was I was told 'It looks like rain so I have covered my rifle up!'

I must admit they were a good 5 shots though.

I am a fair weather shooter. My days of lying in puddles are long gone. Soft Southern *** aren't I :goodjob:
