Round 3 of the Frostbite League was shot in cold but, luckily, still conditions.
As usual, Round 3 incorporates the Christmas shoot, five shots in two minutes, with the aim being to miss the elves (-25 points) who are busy decorating the Christmas tree and, if you’re feeling lucky, hit the star (+25 points). For the benchrest competitors the challenge was greater, as they had to shoot at a reversed target. As usual the scores were entertaining, the winning score being 55, the lowest was -92 points, a new record.
The results for the ‘serious’ competition were:

Round 4 (100yds) of the Frostbite League will take place on the 8th January.
Too early for a reliable forecast, but hopefully the current “Troll of Trondheim” will have passed on.
There is a slim chance that it may be possible to enter on the day, but please check with the organiser Steve Beadle, (Email: stevebeadle1960@hotmail.co.uk, Tel: 07720 677456) before travelling.
