Rainy/Snowy Weekend results in Medals for Admiral Nelles Biathlon Competitors.

Competitors bypassed Highland Nordic Ski facilities due to extremely heavy rains and lack of snow and headed directly to Base Borden.

Cadets engaged in a run and shoot biathlon in place of a ski and shoot. Admiral Nelles 12 person team were paired into age and mix groupings. The competition consists of competitors completing a running distance, shooting 5 targets with pellets using a daisy air rifle, completing another run circuit, shooting another 5 targets then finishing with a final run circuit. The two team members times are added together for a team time score. Missed shots during a run and shoot would add 30 seconds to their overall time for each missed target.

Cadets competed on the Saturday, due to further weather forecast issues, Sunday was turned into an alternative style run and shoot, called a patrol. Patrol had all unit’s team members mixed together into teams of four. For this event they start shooting in pairs. Both team members must drop/shoot down their 5 targets before they can get up and run the circuit, they have unlimited shots to complete shooting the targets. When they return to the firing line, the other 2 members shoot. They do this until the final team members have shot their targets and the final time is their score timing for the event. The cadets thoroughly enjoyed this different event.
