I've also heard of potential 1-1/2" accumulation.

Maybe another day - it's a bit far for me to drive to a wet-weather shoot.

With a bit of luck the other two days will be better.

I got drenched last week. I'll pass on this week, because I ain't shooting.

Hey, what's this cr*p? The Blue and the Grey had to put up with rain and snow and everything else.

Don't make 'em like they used to. (-:

And it just MAY be that two of us have enough sense (however unpopular it may be) to come in out of the rain.

Radar there now (8:20am) looks like heavy rain over the whole Winchester area.

I hope it clears soon.

Don't take my comment too seriously.

I took NO offense. As Oscar Wild said, "Life is far to precious to take it seriously."

Yeah,,,,,like when has the weatherman ever been right? <grin>

It cleared off right before the match and turned into a purdy day! Balls were flying everywhere. Had two big 8" original mortars in the match also. It turned out a great day. Next up was the repeater match with smoothbore right behind it.

Shame ya'll let ah lil H2O chase ya away! <snicker>

There's always the Fall Nationals. I'm told that's even bigger than the Spring skirmishes.

One of the fellows that works for me is a regular N-SSA participant and a top shooter on his team. An ugly fiber optic cable cut prevented both of us from attending, and he's still getting major (but good-natured) grief from his team for missing the event.

Anyone know the dates for the Fall event?

Well, here are a few pix of the May 2005 Skirmish at Ft Shennendoah - sent to me by a friend who braved the rain.
