This Beginner to Biathlon Clinic introduces the challenging and fun sport of biathlon, which combines Nordic skiing with shooting marksmanship. The clinic will cover the sport, the range it occurs on, as well as the rifles and targets. Basic rifle safety, rifle loading and operation, and the fundamentals of an accurate rifle shot (position, sight alignment, breathing, trigger control and follow through) are introduced and experienced. 

No prior experience in marksmanship or Nordic skiing is needed to participate.  Biathlon rifles and ammunition are provided. No matter the weather conditions, this clinic will be suitable for participants on foot, but if snow conditions allow and you have cross-country skis (skate or classic), feel free to bring them.

Where: Crosscut Mountain Sports Center’s Events Stadium

Who: Adults 18+

When: Saturday, November 8th at 10:00am - 1:00pm
