Biathlon

BBNT’s Biathlon program began in the early 2000s. Since then, the program has steadily grown. In 2021, BBNT became an official Biathlon Club with US Biathlon. BBNT Biathlon has a long history of excellence, most notably with alum Sara Studebaker competing in the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games. With BBNT Biathlon, you'll learn gun safety, shooting fundamentals, Biathlon rules and regulations, and more.
