Now that was what you call a frostbite, -4°C as the first shots were fired and it wasn’t much warmer by the last shot. Luckily, there was no wind and off the firing point and in the sun it was almost pleasant. The frost did have an upside, the ground was hard; without the frost it would have been muddy, thanks to the resident badgers digging up the range floor.
