Biathlon Eco- Aim, non-projectile camera rifles are supplied for usage during lessons (price is included in the Biathlon program fee)

A parent or responsible adult must be available on a rotational schedule to set up and take down the rifles, targets, mats and rifle blocks.

Coaches will be certified Biathlon coaches.

The program is an entry level Biathlon program for approx ages 9-13 new to either Biathlon and/or skate skiing.

The Eco-Aim camera rifles are a great training tool with a built in computer system allowing coaches to view the athletes sight target and breathing rhythms while also calculating timing and results.

Training will include range safety protocol and all Eco-Aim rifles will be treated just as any projectile rifle would be treated.

Athletes will be invited to attend and compete in local Kinder Cups. These are fun entry level Biathlon races. Eco-Aim rifles will be used for XCBC Biathlon athletes. Other regional Biathlon athletes will use their specific program rifles such as air rifles where appropriate.

Kinder Cup registration only requires a $10 recreational Biathlon Canada Membership (please see below).
