I'm coming to this sport as an interested spectator.  I'm a "pre-novice"
cross-country skier (I'm a runner and have skied a fair amount of downhill)
but have never even been on a pair of cross-country skis.  Given my schedule
for the next three months, I won't be able to remedy it until next winter.
But I know something about shooting.  Biathlon shooting is pretty
sophisticated skill, but one leg of it is the act of shooting a rifle.  To
that end, I commend to you the Appleseed Project.  It's a clinic to teach
basic rifle skills to anyone interested in learning.  They hold classes all
over the country.  They get into the history and the tradition of America as
a nation of riflemen, but don't think they're a bunch of revolutionaries.
They're mainstream -- they even trained a battalion of the South Carolina
National Guard.  The commander did not feel that his troops had received
adequate rifle training and he reached out to the civilians.

See http://appleseedinfo.org/as_schedule2.php for an event near you.
