As promised on an earlier thread last month. here are some photos of the Froze To Death Match, held annually, January 1st, at Yellowstone Rifle Club, Billings, Montana. Match Director George Grossi. We were fortunate enough for the brutal temps experienced earlier in December to have abated somewhat, and it was a balmy, if somewhat snowy, 20 degrees. This is a fun "Half-Cocked" sillouhete match, with a $2.00 entry fee. This year we had the 300 meter "Pig Blast" as well as Chicken bowling at 300 meters. The Pig Blast consists of a 2 shooter team shooting offhand at one bank of 5 pigs. Each shooter is allowed 5 rounds. Another 2 shooter team shoots at the other 5 pigs at the same time. The team that has the most pigs down after 10 rounds wins. This is a side match with another $2.00 per shooter going into a winners pot. The Chicken Bowling is just that. 10 chickens set up like bowling pins, $2 entry fee. Each shooter gets 2 shots to see how many chickens will go down. Let's just say there were no strikes, and no spares were picked up. We had a pot-luck lunch with Chili, beans, wild game sausage, smoked salmon, coffee, hot apple cider, crackers and assorted cheeses.
