Two of the sports I love the most, combined into one. Glorious.

10ks of running with four 5 shot shooting sequences with a small bore rifle at 50m. 1st 5 shots prone @ 2k, 2nd 5 shots standing @ 4k, 3rd 5 shots prone @ 6k, final 5 shots standing @ 8k.

I think it sounds like great fun. Most of the shooters I know would probably not be interested but to me it sounds like a good challenge.

Anyone out there agree with me? Maybe I could organise a summer biathlon series for Sydney if I can get enough competitors. :rolleyes:

Hey! You could combine it with the kangaroo cull and kill two roos with one bullet!
