<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Hey Biathletes,<BR>Swix has come out with some non slip grip <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">biathlon pole straps </SPAN>which I've tried out in 4 races in MN. They work well, better than the simple webbing only biathlon straps. They're available at Boulder Nordic Sport.<BR><BR>Also Snow Mtn Ranch has a selection of two kinds of <SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">rifle bags </SPAN>at reasonable prices. These have the clear window over the bolt, as specified by IBU rules. One is a heavier duty deluxe Swix version and the other is a lighter less fully featured Madshus version at half the price. Check them out on Sunday after the Sprint race.<BR><BR>Bill Quinlan<BR></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
