Wanted- Advice And Biathalon Gear

[jonty]

HELP-

 

There is a lady at our club who is wanting to pursue Biathalon shooting.

 

Does anyone know of a dedicated site for this discipline?

 

Has anyone got any gear they are willing to sell which can be used, including a rifle.

 

Please PM me and I will pass on your info.

 

Thanks

 

Jonty

There's an old site here, but with some interesting comments/insights: http://web.onetel.com/~hughp/

 

We have a biathlon shooter at our club. Apparently the Izhmash is the affordable alternative to Anschutz (http://www.izhmash.r...duct/bi-7.shtml)

 

... then there's the indoor training air rifle and target to buy, plus skis and rollerskis...

 

I can sympathise though. The coverage on Eurosport is excellent and they make it look soooo easy ;-)

 

There's some other banter here: http://www.targettalk.org/viewforum.php?f=12

Fultons have the biathlon version of the FWB air rifle on display - looks like fun.

Having many years ago stayed ar Budleigh Farm (which for those that don't know is in the Dartmoor National Park) and had some coaching with Arthur Harvey I asked him about Biathlon (he is the Biathlon teams shooting coach). He said I should try running around the field behind the range 3 times and comming back and try hitting the 50m aiming mark with 5 consecutive shots. I declined as the field was on the side of a 45 degree hill! That was enough to put me off to be honnest.
