Notes for Participants

This event is at Mount Mac, and NOT the Biathlon range on Grey Mountain Road - do NOT go there (and the area is embargoed for 2027).

6:15pm will be a briefing and 6:30pm will be a mass start for all those who want too. At the end of each loop they come back through the start/finish area and have to shoot their 5 shots with the photo rifles. For each shot missed, they have to get 1 control on a score course before heading back out to start their next loop. After their last loop they complete the score controls (if any are needed) before punching the finish.

Will use eco-aims photo rifles under Biathlon club supervision. No physical ammunition. Check them out!
