A few photos to get you thinking of the upcoming season. :)

NO work-day this Monday September 3. Too much going on for all of us, so go out and enjoy the weekend.
I will re-schedule the work-day soon.
I will also add a 2012/2013 calendar of events soon.
Have a great Labor-Day weekend

I hate to cancel practice on such a beautiful day but I am not able to get away from work this afternoon as hoped.

Sorry for the late notice. I hope I catch everyone and you do not drive to Freeport.

We will have practice next Tuesday.

Next Monday September 3, from 3 to 6pm I plan on working on the targets, both air rifle targets and .22 targets.

I would love to have as much help as possible. I know it is a holiday weekend and many of you are gone, but if you are around Monday please come over and lend a hand.

We will be scraping and painting targets and rebuilding the wooden target stands.

Work site is 4 Lunt Rd Freeport.

Thanks.

Congratulations to all the seniors! This weekend is graduation weeekend for a lot of the local schools. Your hard work in high school has paid off. Good luck this summer at your summer jobs and next fall at your new campus where ever you end up for college or other adventures.
BE SAFE this weekend!!!

Practices and Summer Camp

Practices

June 5, today's practice is canceled, mostly due to the fact I strained my back, partially due to the weather.

Air rifle practices will be Tuesday's from 5 to 7 p.m. Hopefully starting next week, June 12.
Practice location is at the L.L. Bean Fogg Farm, Dessert road, Freeport Maine

.22 practice will be this Sunday June 10 from 5 to 7pm. bring your rifles, cuff and running shoes and be ready for flying bugs.
I have 2 extra rifles that can be used at practices if there is a high school student wanting to learn biathlon.


Summer Camp

Summer biathlon camp will be July 5 to July 9 and will be part of the Maine State Team camp.
I have extended the SMBC camp one day so we will have 3 full days in Fort Kent and 2 half days.
We will drive up early morning Thursday July 5 and return late Monday, July 9.
Most of the training will be with the Maine State team. For middle school kids we will have some separate training times

If there is interest we could schedule a 2nd mini camp later in the summer.


US Biathlon Winter Nationals

March 2013, winter nationals are in our back yard. Yes we have a very large yard. Nationals are in Fort Kent. I hope many of you plan on racing at Nationals. If you do then this is the time to start training for the event, especially all you future seniors who have been doing this sport since your freshmen year. Between all the potential coaches in the Southern Maine area we should be able to create a schedule that works for everyone. 

Btw, summer Nationals are in Lake Tahoe in August if anyone wants to go. I've always wanted to go there. :)

Sorry for the late cancellation for today's practice.
Seniors have a great week of activities and congratulations on achieving your high school diploma.
