We invite anyone age 9+ interested in the exciting and challenging sport of Biathlon to come to “Give It A Shot!”
Our next “Give it a Shot” date is Sunday, April 2nd, at 10am.
This 30 minute introductory program gives participants the opportunity to try the marksmanship skills required for winter biathlon. Certified coaches will provide the participant with an overview of range and rifle safety as well as the basic mechanics of the sport.
In the sport of Biathlon, the type of target and shooting positions are determined by age. Generally, the youngest and beginners will start in the prone position using a rest, shooting at the larger standing targets. Athletes will move on to shooting without a rest, and then later progress to the smaller prone targets. Finally, athletes will attempt shooting in the standing position.
For this program, participants will shoot at the level which they can comfortably be successful, regardless of their age.
The program fee includes certified rifle instruction, ammunition, as well as day insurance with Biathlon Canada.
