Any Results for the 1st day at the IBS 600 yard Nationals?

Rain drops will do that

Dusty, Just a Question about shooting in the rain.

I have always been of the belief that there is a pressure in front of and around the bullet and rain doesn't touch it.
Is that belief wrong?

I have always been curious about this and it's effects?

Shooting in the rain- Higher humidity, possible moisture getting into the barrel.
 
Thanks for the posting of results from day 1. Sure interesting to compare personal results with the best.

Great shooting to hit that "bug" or raindrop. Not everyone has that much command of such a trick shot. Those other four missed so 1 hit on the "bug" out of 5 is pretty good.
 
I am not sure comparing personal results to theirs is any indication, seems to me that would need to be done at the same range in the conditions they are shooting in to be a true comparison.

Well I know what I shoot and no matter what range we're at my butt is kicked:(

The fog was extremely thick this morning and may have delayed the start.

Where did the fifth shot go, I only see 4 holes.

On the shooting in the rain I can ASSURE you that rain, even a downpour does not effect the result. I would have lost a lot of money betting that it did but I witnesses the unbelievable in an outright cloudburst at 1K. Projectile was 215 30 caliber.

Maybe thats the case with a 30 cal 215 but a 6mm will miss the target at 100yds i assure you. Used to have pics from videos slowed down with raindrops exploding at br matches. Not sure if it actually hits it but it turns it into a mist. That shot on my target wasnt a rain drop- it wasnt raining but there were bugs out right at dark when i shot it
