Description
Ready to step into the shoes of a biathlete? This introduction to biathlon takes your team into the world of this famous Olympic discipline. Guided by professionals, you will safely discover target-shooting techniques using air rifles.
The principle is simple: at different shooting stations, your goal is to hit all 5 targets on the block located 10 metres away, as quickly as possible. But speed is not everything! Every missed target results in a penalty: a short course that must be completed as quickly as possible to limit the time lost by your team.
The challenges become progressively harder. Start with prone shooting, move on to standing shooting, then take on the most demanding round: shooting while out of breath. For this challenge, participants first complete a course on foot or on snowshoes before reaching the shooting station. The aim is then to regain control of your breathing, stay composed and hit the target.
Focus, self-control, communication and teamwork all play a part. A Savoie incentive activity that takes your team out of its usual setting and adds a real sense of challenge to your seminar.
