This is the airgun section 🤔 It all depends on how hard it's raining and the distance you are shooting. I've shot in steady quite heavy rain but only up to about 30yds, and just aimed at the normal aim points. This was after pigeons and squirrels. Light rain, just crack on 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipdog Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Normal aim points. Getting the range and wind right should be the main concerns. If your good enough to be worrying about rain droplets you don't need to be worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Don't see how you could hold for the rain, depending on how big the rain drops are and how heavy it's raining. How many raindrops will you hit. Take some practice shots at likely ranges and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As above,,,, if out in the rain take some practice shots. Airgun ranges aren't affected by the rain, if they are you might as well stay at home 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I know in very heavy rain I've seen the shotgun pattern go through it. Not noticed a difference in range or where it hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
