Scoring / writing in the rain

Another tip is to buy fisher space pen refills

Yes - I have one of the snazzy silver bullets. Suposed to work underwater also but so far haven't done any shooting in Scotland.

I believe these were developed by NASA, some years ago.
When they spoke to the Russians about what THEY used to write with in outer space, they simply replied - "we dont have the budget to develop a specific pen for writing in space, so we use a pencil..."

Another tip is to buy fisher space pen refills - they come with an adapter which allows them to fit any pen which takes a parker style refill. These write on wet target faces, upside down, you name it.

or use a pencil.......

Chinagraph pencils work very well in the wet and dont rub off accidentilly

i used them in the army for writing on map boards

I did not think that graphite pencils were allowed as scores could be changed.

In zero gravity or "space" a normal biro will work!!!

We used waterproof scorecards at a shoot recently, not sure which one....but you can't use a gel pen on it - the ink runs if it rains!!!

It was at the yorkshire champs the other weekend

I remember the judge announcing that gel pen would wash off

When I moved back to Scotland from Welwyn Garden City, my club mates gave me a Fisher space pen... I have to say the last shoot I was at, I didn't need to use it - the sun shone all day!.

(OK so it was last August, but still....)
