| Thirteenth ANNUAL SHANDAKEN PRIMITIVE BIATHLON COMBINES BLACK POWDER SHOOTING AND SNOW SHOES |
The Shandaken Primitive Biathlon will be held on January 17, 2010 in New York States
Catskill Mountains. The competition will be held in Shandakens Oliverea Valley on the
grounds of the Upper Esopus Fish and Game Association.
The approximately one mile course is wooded, mountainous terrain containing four
shooting stations spaced along the course. Each shooting station has two targets at
varying distances which are shot with a patched round ball. Firearms must be carried
unloaded between shooting stations. Primitive dress is desired but not required, but one
minute will be deducted from over all time for full primitive dress. Entries in the biathlon are
divided into four age groups; 12 to 16, 17 to 40, 41 to 59, 60 and over, also a ladies and
smooth bore division. Registration before January 13th will be $12.00 and after the 13th
will be $17.00. There will also be a new division for those who wish to shoot and snow shoe
the course but don't wish to be timed. A flat fee of ten dollars will apply. The winner will be
determined by the most targets hit and a tie breaker.
There will be target shooting and tomahawk competition to keep one busy when not
running the biathlon. The entry fee for each event will be two dollars. You may enter each
event a maximum of two times. The target shooting will be five shots at a black powder fun
target, while the tomahawk competition will be five throws at a standard playing card.
Prizes and or certificates will be awarded in each category.
For any additional information call 845-331-5201 for Larry or email me @

A WORD OF THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS |
This is a thank you to all that make this event a success. It takes money and many hours of hard work too make this event
what you all see on the day it runs. This year was the smoothest run of my tenure, thanks to Bill Landesman and Vince
Bernstein at the scoring TP. We had an excellent crew on the course and excellence as usual in the kitchen. Our
registration lady was Carol Maines who came with her husband Jim and stepped up to help when called upon. Our quilt and
blanket are hand made.
The best part of this event is the cooperation between all of the people working this event and the people participating.
Thanks for a safe event and hope too see you all next year.
