Rain on specs...

[Jan Powell]

Avoid shooting in the rain, it's not conducive to good scores. If you must, turn your head away when others on the line are shooting. If you do use a tissue make sure it's dry or you'll just smear the water droplets.

Oh, and, before someone suggests it, don't put Rain X or any other chemical treatment on the lens. It's fine for car windscreens but on shooting glasses it'll slightly distort your view.

Darn it! 



I actually got my first "placing" at a registered shoot, just this weekend, in persistent drizzle.

As I said, Pink microfiber...

Santa, you should know our weather as well as anyone, and know that the UK does in fact have a "rainy season".

It runs from February 18th all the way through to February 17th ?

Didn't Stevie write a song that started "A A A "?

​you missed an "a" out 

 

[Growl]

Afraid as far as I am concerned, if you don't want to wear glasses - don't go out expecting to be allowed to shoot a registered competition, until the rules are changed they should be enforced, same rule for everyone, the grounds should put up clear notices informing shooters, this way the refs (or in most cases young markers - with no qualifications apart from being able to get a good soaking for minimum pay) can point the 'competitor' at the sign that states - that if glasses are not correctly worn they cannot shoot that stand.

If you don't like it, lobby the CPSA and get it changed - if you cannot do that then stick to unregistered shoots.

 

[Jan Powell]

It has little to do with the CPSA. The decision to introduce a glasses rule came following pressure from insurance companies who impose a conditions that risk is minimised before they provide cover. 

The same reason is used for preventing the use of steel shot at many ground across the UK.

 

[Hamster]

I wonder whether the CPSA can be persuaded to release before and after figures for insurance claims.

 

[Jan Powell]

I doubt it, and I also doubt before and after claims will show much difference but that's not the point. 

Insurance companies can and do impose whatever conditions they fancy to minimise risk and therefore the likelihood of a claim.
