Bosek Biathlon Day Camp – July 9, 2022

Posted on by

Saturday, July 9th I will be hosting a day camp at my house.

We will have two groups of four.  When one group is shooting, the other group will be roller skiing.  We will switch after lunch.

Eight people will be the max and this camp will be geared towards the more experienced biathlete.  The shooting group will focus on shooting/shooting education.

We will start at 9:30 and finish up around 4:00.

The camp is free, but please bring your own ammo.

Lunch will be provided.

Let me know if you are interested at pro8diver@gmail.com.

I will be at the race on Sunday, June 26th, if you have any questions.

Also, if there is bad weather on Saturday, we can have the camp on Sunday, July 10th.

Good Afternoon–

Below find the annual MN Biathlon Membership form for this training year. Please also recall that MN Biathlon has an April to April year, and US Biathlon has an Oct to Oct year. Those active in the sport should be members of each organization.

For those leasing rifles this year, I will be sending out lease forms today to those who will be on the same rifle as last year. For those who are getting onto a different rifle, I am holding off yet while we sort that out. For those who will be leasing for the first time, we need to see you at a daycamp and go through all our procedures and fit a rifle to you at that time.

Hope that helps!!
Bill Meyer, Coach
