Hitting the Target

These country boys certainly know how to shoot. For two years in a row now I have had the honour of being appointed photographer for the annual shooting competition held in Kyrkås wintertime. The distance to the targets range between 350 to more than 500 metres and no telescopic sights are used. Skill and focus allow you to hit your target anyway. Lying in the snow with a side wind and a gentle snowfall makes it just a little bit harder.
Why is it held in wintertime? I still have no idea. I must remember to ask the next time.
