New for this season, Telemark Nordic is using EcoAims biathlon systems. EcoAims are safe, easy to operate optical biathlon systems. There are no projectiles, rather they operate similar to the guns used in the 1980’s game “Duckhunt”. Thanks to grants from ViaSport, Biathlon BC, Biathlon Canada and the International Biathlon Union, Telemark has several new EcoAims biathlon units for this season.
Here’s a brief description video of the EcoAims units: Training for Biathlon with EcoAim
