I just came back from warming up my tractor for some mail box harvesting. About a foot of fresh snow, "0" degrees and 15 MPH Wind.

Got me thinking of Stalingrad or the Winter War.

There are lots of Mosins and Mauser's out there, I'm thinking on putting on a match with conditions like today, where as all you get is an As Issued Mosin or Mauser, ammo, and what ever cloths you can wear. No mats, just you and your rifle, firing from 100 to 300 yards. Of course no snow plows prior to the match.

Wonder how many takers I'd get?
