I don't envy the job of weatherman in Missouri. They can barely tell you what happened yesterday.

We are going to shoot, even if it rains. At the Regional, the forecast showed it was going to be horrible, but we got in the entire match and never got wet.

Be prepared for all weather and it will be much more enjoyable.

Looks like need 2 sets of rain gear this weekend

 

[Jennb]

Thats all I needed to know! See you this weekend!

 

[Rope2horns]

Yesterday was no rain during shooting hours....today is something completely different....Hope for the best expect the worst.

 

[Ned Ludd]

I just finished coating all my bullets with Rain-X.

 

[Ringostar]

No rain coming from the southwest for the rest of the week. We’re looking at 30 mph winds on Friday though. That might make it to Mo. on Saturday. Good luck to all that are shooting.

Add 2 more match sponsors to the list:
Battenfeld Technologies
Capstone(Lapua/Berger/Vihtavuori)

Also, I put the first coat of paint on the trophies last night.

 

[Petros284]

Gabe is 11 weeks old. He's gonna pull Mike's target. While I shoot.

Bring the kids @Petros284. No more excuses. Ryan's kid will be shooting a match before you do at this rate.

Ouch lol. Long drive now though. Wish I could make it!

Sorry I can't make it this year. Somebody eat plenty of food for me.

Ryan,

Sure enough - I got called out and have to fly Friday till late night, so I'll not make it up. I sent you a PM as well - hate it when work screws up my shooting. Hope weather gives you'll a break and everyone has a great match.

Caught a few for the fryer! Only 88 1/2 lbs. after dressing you have less than 1/2 the weight in skinned and less than 1/3 in fillets. I estimate 20-25lbs meat, so then you factor 1/2 lb per person with sides unless your feeding Lamey then all this doesn’t work.

Good job captain (for those that don't know this is when Mike used to dress nice)

I've had a few questions about if the match will go on despite the weather. The answer is yes.

There is zero threat we won't be able to access the range due to flooding. The creek will need to rise 17' in the next 2 days for that to happen.

The current, but ever changing forecast shows rain Saturday afternoon and through the evening. If we need to reduce the number of matches, we will, but the show will go on.

I have a ridiculous amount of trophies, medals, and door prizes to give out, and would love to reclaim the space in my house.

Pop ups can be setup behind the firing line if you want to keep your stuff dry in between matches. I will be using one while cooking the fish.

Bring some rain gear and be prepared to start promptly at 8 am on Saturday. Squadding will be ready by 7:30 am.

 

[Ned Ludd]

I wouldn't worry too much about the rain...with 30+ mph wind gusts, it will likely never reach the ground .

 

[Immike]

See you there!

 

[asyoung]

Good grief.

Does anyone other than me ever compare weather forecasts with the actual weather?

Skipping matches due to weather predictions will cost you way more shooting than actual rainouts ever will.

Good luck everyone! Would be there but on way to NC for Practice and Fullbore Nats. Sadly lost a wheel while driving in NC about 2hrs ago. Crap!
