The team of the Kostroma Academy of RKhBZ took first place in hunting biathlon competitions

Last weekend near Kostroma there were regular competitions in the original sport – hunting biathlon. It differs from Olympic biathlon in the first place by skis (in hunting biathlon they are wide and without sticks), secondly by shooting equipment (smooth-bore hunting rifles instead of rifled small pieces) and thirdly by targets (there are three of them in the form of wild boars). Otherwise, everything is the same – the track, firing lines and penalty minutes for each miss.

This time, 49 sharp and fast hunters from all regions of the region came to Kostroma for hunting biathlon competitions.

The fight was interesting and tense, but in the end, the best shooters and runners turned out to be Kostroma hunters from the team of the RKhBZ academy. Behind them according to the results are biathletes-hunters from Nerekhta, and the team from the Krasnoselsky district took the third place.

This trio of winners earned themselves tickets to the interregional hunting biathlon championship, which will be held on March 11 in the Yaroslavl region.
