heat coming from the ground.

I was a competitive pistol shooter for many years. Shooting in a light rain would mean 2 things:
1 After the match every thing will need to be dried and oiled, shooter included. Most pistol ranges don't have covered firring points.

2. Those shooters with the correct "mind set" will shoot their best scores.

One year at the National Championships at Camp Perry, OH. several records were set in a light rain. (.22 rimfire day) Most times rain at Perry comes off the lake with fierce wind.

In those days I thought the higher scores some were able to achieve, in those conditions, was due to increased concentration needed to overcome the environment.

Now that I have gotten old and shaky and need to lay my gun on a bench, I have shot more X's in a light rain. Thus, my old theory could be full of bullet holes.

Mr Nobody thanks for the kind words... The above offering may not be correct, just some thoughts -maybe something to keep in the back of your mind. I may get a black eye in the morning when some of the regulars wake up, lol. joe

Well, that's a pretty fair offering as well. I love those quiet drizzly days, but I suspect lots of other guys do as well.

Yeah, I like those drizzly days too, but you better have a rifle and ammo capable of world class scores. Better shoot a bucket full of X's, because the rest are going to do it.
