BAY 1: Biathlon

Biathlon pairs distance running or skiing with rifle marksounds—you're racing against the clock and your own aim. Miss targets and you're running penalty laps, which means this isn't just about cardio or trigger control alone. Routt County Rifle Club is hosting this June 21st as a test of how steady you stay when you're already gassed.

The format hits intermediate shooters hard because fatigue kills precision. You'll move between shooting stations and running legs, stacking penalties for each miss. It's the kind of event that exposes the gap between bench shooting and real performance.
