kids army biathlon

[ds1]

A few weeks ago I organized and ran a kids army biathlon comp, supported by school and parents. Basically a cross country course through woodland with a few obstacles, shooting semi-auto fullbore rifles and a BBQ after. Anyway we had a good time. It will be pic heavy but thought I would share.

Thats fantastic, a very well done.

 

 

I just wish the uk was able to embrace a day such as that, without turning it into a massive risk assesment nightmare.

 

 

Looks like you had a great time.

Brilliant.......

 

If only our cosseted kids even had the opportunity to do something similar..... sadly there is small chance of that happening.

 

Best

Thought I would update this a bit - first of all, thanks Dave for the offer of some prizes, it is much appreciated.

 

A week or two after the biathlon comp the school hunting group ran an "open day", this involved about a 5km walk through woodland with stalls displaying information about animal - general, feeding, hunting etc. There were about 10 stalls and some air rifle shooting. The day was primarily run for kids with the students from the school hunting group running the stalls.
