I think it should be called " Danger Will Robinson!  Danger!" :)\n\nIt is really called a BIATHLON\n \nThe Biathlon consists of cross country skiing in which the skier stops at intervals to shoot at a target. Evidence of a skiing and shooting sport exists in cave paintings in Norway from about 2000 BC, depicting hunters on skis while stalking animals for game. The modern sport has a military basis, in which Scandinavian soldiers were trained to ski while carrying rifles and to periodically stop and shoot. Biathlon-type events in Scandinavia are known to have been held as early as the 18th century.\n\nThe first modern biathlon probably occurred in 1912 when the Norwegian military organised the Forvarsrennet in Oslo. An annual event, it consisted initially of a 17km cross-country ski race with two-minute penalties for the shooting part of the competition. A military patrol event was included at the Olympic Winter Games as a demonstration sport in 1924, 1928, 1936, and 1948, although it was not exactly the same as the biathlon.\n\nThe 2006 BIATHLON events have an informationlink below.\n\nThe first 2006 BIATHLON Event is the \nMen's 20 km Individual Held at \nCesana San Sicario (Mountain Venues)\nOn  Feb.11, at 13:00 - 14:55

Yes. I'd suggest the summer olympics. Your event will be fencing. Bring a broadsword. Swing it around wildly.

Watch the movie "Lord of Wars".  It just came out on DVD a few months ago.  It is a quasi-documentary with Nicolaus Cage about gun running.  It is a very good movie!

You're not the only one since the NCAA has a collegiate champion in the sport, the university of Missouri this year...Women compete in the Olympics, so keep shooting, you might win a gold medal someday like Kim Rhode. She has three Olympic medals, two Gold, one Bronze...The "girl" can flat out shoot!

If you have played paintball, you'd realize its a sport..its like an all out sprint the whole game..whereas hunting is considered a sport and u stand and shoot targets..try it when the targets are shooting at you.

Yes basketball and handball made their debut at the 1936 Olympics, both as outdoor sports. Handball would not appear again on the program until 1972.

I'd say the decathlon in the Summer Olympics. It requires you to train on 10 different disciplines and be pretty good at all of them.

There are several different events in Olympic pistol shooting. \n\nOne of them is the 'Free Pistol.' \nFree pistols have the widest variety of variations. Guys I know like the Pardini and Hammerli. Here is a website that describes them:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/pistoleer2001/Evolution.html\n\nAnother event is the 25 meter Rapid Fire Pistol. This is a nice site for a brief into and has a picture of a Pardini auto-loader: \nhttp://arizona.rifleshooting.com/oly-rf.html\n\nHave fun and keep your muzzle pointed in a safe direction!\nConcordbridge\nNRA Instructor\nwww.NWSafe.org

I don't remember his name but i recall hearing about a guy in the army in the vietnam era who didn't fight because the army kept him in America because he was such a good shooter it made good PR for the army. I remember being told that he could toss asprin in the air and shoot it with a .22.

This is the full list of all the medals won at the Athens olympics. Unless i have missed one I do not see any shooting events mentioned in the list, so it looks like they won none.\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympics_2004/3609588.stm

Wear a clothing guard when you shoot.
