The focus will be on dry firing, live fire, training plans, visualization, dry land training and the individualized needs of master biathletes. The cost is $215. Required equipment includes a biathlon rifle, 750 rounds of ammunition, ski walking poles (downhill length ski poles) and athletic footwear.
