Moar hnnnnng.

>>32146466

I've always wondered how you get into olympic shooting. I've always been told that I was a great shot despite lack of practice and that I should get involved in it, but I don't have the money or the knowledge of where to even begin with it. The "guns" they use are pretty expensive for a decent one.

Just a guess.

kek. pro biathletes make no more than 50k a year unless theyre winning every race.

>>32146995
I guess same as any other olympic level discipline, minus most of the body harm that comes from phisically intensive sports like running, where you burn yourself in the early 20s and anything after that is a downhill slope because your body cannot take it.

So pretty much practice 24/7, afford to practice 24/7, do all the competitions you can possibly reach and win them. Nothing magic about it, just completely forget about your personal life for a while.

I have a cousin that was nearly getting into world-tier artistic roller skating (which is the same as olympics tier, as artistic roller skating has no olympics), he was doing really good but gave up in his early 20s as he could not take the pressure anymore. When you reach that competitive level you either commit 150% or fuck off - he had no life anymore, he had to keep practicing even with broken bones if they weren't necessary for skating, when he wasn't practicing he had to win competitions.

>>32147090
>Not him, but I assume it's all the gadgets and gizmos and things to make shooting easier, thus reducing the need for actual skill.
well gee i wonder why all those rich fellas interested in shooting don't dump a bunch of money into olympic biathlon gear and get the gold medals all the time.

The tech behind it is made to have a higher skill ceiling, not to reduce it.
Nobody gives a shit for how accurate you can shoot with your run of the mill "match" ammo and hunting rifles, olympics and high level sports in general are about the best a man can do, the rifle is just a tool and should be as irrelevant as possible.

A chef cooking with the best stoves and knives is less skilled, by your reasoning.

>>32147288
FUCKED IN THAT BOOTY

>>32147294
I think you missed his point dude. Its not about lowering the skill ceiling, its raising rhe skill floor. The way these rifles are setup is to remove any possible error or guesswork on part of the shooter.

>>32147251

I don't have a personal life, really. The thing I lack is money and connections.

>>32147338
>The way these rifles are setup is to remove any possible error or guesswork on part of the shooter.

So get the best knives and stoves and start cooking, see how you compare to a good cook.
It makes no sense.

>>32147482

They are good cooks, you stupid asshole. Such good cooks that they require a knife of balance and precise nature that it allows them to work even better than you could ever dream to.

>>32147508
And the people that use those rifles to their full potential are good shooters, what's your point. Having a better knife will make you a better cook about as much as having a better rifle will make you a better shooter.

>>32147561

they make a lot less than that. There is not much sponsorship for the shooting sports and the event winnings are little. USA shooting pays olympic shooters a small training stipend, less than $800/mo. That means in addition to all the training you have to figure out a way to work a full time or decent paying part time job while asking for family or community support.

>>32146995
>The "guns" they use are pretty expensive for a decent one.

As someone who's done high level sport shooing, the gear will only get you the last <2% after you're perfect. Just get a 22 rifle and practice. It's a big mistake to go gear queer before you're good.

>>32146995

>>32146995
the way you get into competitions is that you kinda just show up and talk to people there, and find out from them what sort of basic equipment you'll need and then just start competing.
while not an olympic competion, I got into high-power competition about 5 years ago after a co-worker invited me to a match. I showed up with my garand, a $25 shooting mat from midway, and a spotting scope. that's it. I shot like dogshit that first match, but it doesn't matter because you only learn this stuff by doing it. 5 years later and I'm finally starting to win matches shooting vintage rifle class, having slowly upgraded my skills and equipment as I went along.

long story short is that you just have to find local matches, show up, talk to people, and participate. don't let yourself be intimidated by all the fancy guns and equipment you see other people using, all that can come later once you've developed as a shooter to where that actually makes a difference.

>>32147691
>It's a big mistake to go gear queer before you're good.
This applies to literally everything

>>32147614

The only ones that are making anywhere close to that much are doing so because of individual sponsorships. aka, as models, not athletes.

>>32147338
Haha no you fucking retard. Go ski or hike a couple miles then lie down and hit a target about 3 inches in diameter on the first shot, no sighter, in the wind. There's still a fuck ton guesswork and error.

>>32148046
Historically they are not. Kim Rhodie is the one exception.

>>32148046

>Because the best male shooters are competing 3-gun instead of 40k USD bolt-action plinking.


We're talking about olympics and medals. There isn't much money in three gun. Maybe you missed the FN just folded its pro team.

But, if you want to talk about non-olympic style shooting. The U.S. women are dominant. The only female IPSC USPSA GM is an American.

>>32148103
I think you mean $4k
and even that would be top-of-the-line rifles, you can find very decent used rifles for closer to $1k

>>32148162
>$4k
You should do some more shopping for a serious competition gun. One of the clubs I a member of just spent $6k on a gun for one of our juniors who shows some international level promise. Trap shotguns can easily hit 25K or more.

nothing wrong with starting with something inexpensive in my opinion, it doesn't really matter so long as it's a reasonably accurate bolt action with good aperature sights. even something like my old mossberg here would be fine to get you started, you can always upgrade later once you've learned more about what you like and what you'll need

~50 000 dollar is normal for a national team biathalon athlete from Norway in price money. Forucade earns about 250 000 in price money by being the best. Also the sponsorship money is clearly ties to their performance. Without it they would never been "models".

Pretty sure this thread just confirms most of /k/ is just a different type of fudd. Just because these people aren't shooting AR15's at tin cans in a quarry it means they are shit shots.
They have gadgets and gizmos to take out machine error, which leaves it to the skill of the shooter. They aren't after 3' groups at 25yards as their zero like you cunts, they are shooting the same hole over and over again every single time, against someone who is doing the same.

It's not exactly true. Women can be just as good as men when shooting, because it's not that difficult unless you're shooting a machinegun offhand or a stopping rifle.

Ex biathlete. Those anschutz rifles are comfy as fuck. Nothing like working that straight pull bolt on an 1827f.

>>32165736
Never said i was gonna be great, just asked how to start.

Im never gonna be in the olympics but it looks fun

If you live in an area that would be conducive to skiing and shooting then start googling for biathlon clubs in your area. Or maybe by state, like Washington state biathlon or something. Either way, google is probably a good start for finding amateur biathlon clubs or events.

Go back to posting firm butts in skin tight bodysuits you faggots.

No, were talking about sports and how to get a shooting gf. You post more sexy olympians

Okay, how do I find a training camp and sponsor one of these chicks?

Some have brands for sports wear. They don't exactly starve.

Some women are tetrachromates but that is uncommon. Not sure what other range variations there are.

Some can see outside the normal range, a little into infrared (non-thermal, to be clear). All I have heard of were men but that might have been a selection bias.

I'm not too familiar with this type of action; would it be sensible on larger calibers, or would the longer pull be too much of a hassle?

>>32170424
I dont think it would work for anythi g much larger. Besides the throw being too long i want to say these cant handle a lot of pressure due to how it locks up. We had a thread a couple months back about some guy trying to make one in 9mm and it was a huge hassle
