A mild, damp and dull day for Round 3 of 2023/24 Frostbite League, though the rain, for the most part, held off until the shooting had been completed (but not the packing up).
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. The winning score was +55 and the lowest -70; someway short of the current record of -92.
