There's been mention of running a Frozen Chosin event sometime this winter, either at Middlebury/New Haven or at Proctor.
Well, what do you think, folks?
We can show them Southerners what real cold is, while we're knee to waist deep in snow.
Sounds good to me.
Snow shoes/skis might be required if it's deep enough.
I walked 100 yds last winter through 3 feet of it.
Sunk up to my hips several times.
Never been so exhausted after walking such a short distance.
That snow makes a GREAT "sandbag" for your whole body.
I did some of my steadiest shooting last winter.
Let us know when.

We have a winter war/end of year shoot scheduled at Proctor Dec. 27 @ 11:00. Generally it's not a big affair, a few of us get together to shoot WWll era rifles at 50 & 100 yds, but I'm open to suggestions. Due to the time of year, I wouldn't expect a large turnout.
Anybody from here that wants to borrow a rifle that may have actually been used in the Winter War (Russian invasion of Finland in 1940) to use for that, I have one for you.
I do think we could get something going for a Frozen Chosin, maybe late January or something like that.
