I'd have to agree with MOTOWNHONKEY, if you practice and can make a confident shot, you should have anything to worry about. I enjoy hunting in light rain or snow. I think it gives the hunter a bit of an advantage when walking to or from you stand or if you do any stalk hunting. I know that things can happen with bow hunting that can make a shot not be as good as it should, but if you practice, take you time, and not take any "high risk" shots, you should be ok.
