    Going for range qualification tomorrow in Dublin. Forecast is 100% rain. Any tips for shooting in the rain? Thanks!

          Wear a hat or your eye protection will get very wet, hard to use the sights with a giant drop of water in front of your eye. I find that a little rainx anti-fog/water on the lenses helps also.

                Ignore the rain. Focus on your sights and the target.

                            Thanks everyone! Qualified with a G19. Everything got wet. The most helpful was wearing a hat, otherwise I would be constantly wiping my eye protection. Definitely go with the umbrella option if the score does not matter.
