Become a Biathlete

Biathlon is really fun. Getting started in the right way is important to enjoying the sport. By its very nature Biathlon is a sport that is based around clubs at Biathlon venues. While much of the practice or training can be done anywhere, sooner or later you need to go to a real biathlon venue (range and trail network) and practice and or compete.

Safety is a very important part of Biathlon. At a club you will learn safe range procedures for handling the air rifle or .22 cal. rifle you will use to practice. Each club has safety experts who provide safety training. Biathlon has its own set of safety rules that are specifically created for the sport. Much of the physical conditioning needed for Biathlon is done on roads and trails. It's very important to be safe when out on roadways shared with cars.
