I got a copy years ago when the USBA actually did something. It was okay but most of the skiing tips were still for classical skiing. The shooting was helpful...
Does anyone know if Core Sports is still around? I heard they make biathlon equipment, but I was unable to find any contact info or website. Also, is it...
