SUMMARY:St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon
DESCRIPTION:2020 St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon\n\nRate This Event\n \n                                    \n                                        \n                                        \n                                        \n                                        \n                                    \nJoin us for the St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon on March 7-8\, 2020 at the St Lawrence Valley Sportsman’s Club in Ogdensburg\, New York. If you’re suffering from cabin fever and are up for a challenge\, come to the St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon and match your black powder shooting and snowshoeing skills against some of the toughest competitors in the North East – or – take it a little slower as a woods walk. \nParticipants are encouraged to wear historic clothes covering 1750 to 1812. Fort de la Présentation was one of a handful of French colonial forts in New York State. Forsyth’s Rifles from Ogdensburg re-enacts a U.S. Army regiment posted in Northern New York during the War of 1812; from the French and Indian War period\, they portray a unit of French marines. \nThose hardy souls participating in the Snowshoe Biathlon will run a one and a half mile course\, stopping at each of 5 stations and firing 2 shots; at the 6th and final station\, there’s an optional tomahawk throw. Runners or woods walkers using a traditional muzzleloader will complete the course on traditional wood-framed snowshoes. \nThree Divisions: Primitive Rifle\, Primitive Smoothbore and Modern In-Line. Competitors in the primitive divisions must run the course on traditional\, wooden snowshoes\, while in-line shooters have the option of using wooden or modern snowshoes. Snowshoes must be carried if there is light snow cover. \nThe St. Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon is modeled after the popular Smugglers’ Notch Primitive Biathlon and is one of several biathlons scheduled across New York and New England each year. \nA modern class will be open to shooters using in-line muzzleloaders and modern snowshoes. All shooters must use firearms with open sights. \nThe St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon is sponsored by the Fort La Présentation Association and Forsyth’s Rifles. \nHours: Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 AM – 2:00PM. \nLocation\nSt Lawrence Valley Sportsman’s Club\n25 Sportsman’s Club Road\nOgdensburg\, NY 13669 \nFor More Information: Fred Hanss\, Chairman: Email fhanss@twcny.rr.com \nWhat is a Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon?\nPrimitive Snowshoe Biathlons\, unlike modern snowshoe biathlons with olympic-style target rifles and cross-country skis\, involve the use of muzzleloading rifles and snowshoes. Eligibility for overall prizes is limited to single-barrel traditional style muzzleloaders – no in-lines or optical sights – and traditional wood-framed snowshoes\, although modern equipment users are welcome to participate in separate competition classes. In the primitive spirit of the event\, and in the interest of fairness\, the use of round-ball ammunition is requested. Period dress is definitely encouraged\, though not required. \n \nMark your calendar today so you don’t miss the next St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon the first weekend in March in Ogdensburg\, New York. \nTags: St Lawrence Valley Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon\, Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon \nView other Primitive Snowshoe Biathlons & Related Events
