The Biathlon Subclub is a place where aspiring biathletes can hone their shooting skills using 22 cal rifles. Biathlon as a sport combines cross country skiing in the winter, or roller skiing in the summer with shooting of 22 cal rifles at 5 stationary targets. The biathlon sub club works closely with West Coast Nordic Club and various Cadet units to provide training opportunities for kids ages 9 – 19. We are always looking for interested kids to join our programs.
