When the front moved through I kept shooting when it was light rain. Gotta get the fix, right? I use a 5 gal bucket to put my arrows in while shooting. I place it at the yardage I am shooting, retrieve arrows shot, drop'em in the bucket. While it was raining I dumped the bucket several times to keep the field points from being submerged in water. This was two days into the rain. I let the bucket sit for a few days without using it. I just went out and shot some and went to get the bucket. It was half full of clear rainwater. It had been sitting in the middle of the yard with nothing to interfere with it or get splash into it. The bucket is about 16 inches tall I'd guess. I probably dumped an overall 1-2 inches out while shooting a few days earlier.

This holds truth to the old saying, "It rained buckets."
