Running Summer Biathlon Race + Novice Race, June 20, 2009 – Mt.Itasca, Coleraine

Biathlon, Novice, Air Rifle Race, June 20,2009 012Held at the conclusion to the Annual Shooting Camp run by Bill Meyer. Conditions were sunny with a slight breeze. Most of the Youth Men and Women, and Boys and Girls had taken part in the camp. The shooting scores don’t quite reflect the progress made in the previous 2-4 days of intense shooting training and rollerskiing, but fatigue was setting in, and focus was not at 100%. Thanks for participating!
