Range Use

There are two pathways for booking range use at Craftsbury outlined below: Open Range and Visiting Teams.

All Craftsbury Biathlon Range users must have the following:

Craftsbury Biathlon Membership

The Yearly Membership option includes many other COC benefits that can be found here.

Open Range

We offer weekly Open Range Sessions with a Craftsbury staff Range Safety Officer on Sunday afternoons from 1:00-3:00pm. These sessions are for experienced biathletes only who bring their own 0.22 caliber biathlon rifles and ammunition (max velocity 360 m/s). Please email us if you are new to the program to confirm you are a good fit.

Scheduling Notes December 2024-
Dec 22nd no Open Range.

Open range includes access to roller loop (as seasonally appropriate) or ski trails. It often also includes some coaching help during the session (for those interested) from Green Racing Project biathletes.

In addition to certification and membership requirements outlined at the top of this page, any minors planning to sign up for open range must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Please do not bring rifles in the Activity Center or leave them unattended anywhere on campus

Visiting Teams

Here is the process for visiting teams to use the Craftsbury Range:

Step 1: Identify Your Range Safety Officer (RSO)

Your RSO must have completed US Biathlon or Biathlon Canada’s RSO certification process and be approved by Craftsbury Biathlon leadership before they can book a session. Coaches who are interested in bringing their team to Craftsbury should reach out to biathlon@craftsbury.com to learn more about our RSO requirements.

Step 2: RSO Makes a Reservation for a Range Session

The RSO creates a range session by signing into their Craftsbury account and adding a range session to the range calendar. Coaches planning on bringing a bigger group, please reach out to biathlon@craftsbury.com to give us a heads up before booking large sessions.

Our goal will be to safety accommodate as many biathlon users as we can and we reserve the right to tweak range reservation times to maximize range use, particularly during busy times.

Step 3: Athletes Select Range Session

Athletes must meet requirements outlined at the top of this page. They will need a Craftsbury account in order to see the Craftsbury range calendar. To sign up for a session, they should login, click on biathlon from the main menu, click on register for a biathlon session and then calendar will appear. Navigate to the session that your RSO created and select it. In some cases, your RSO may have invited you to sign up through an email link. In that case, the link should bring you directly to the relevant range session.

Step 4: Get a Membership

As part of the checkout process, we require that you have a valid Craftsbury Biathlon Membership. If you do not have this, the system will prompt you to get one.


No RSO?

Highly experienced individual athletes may also be able to “piggy-back” on the scheduled range sessions of other teams with prior permission from the session’s RSO. Once they have permission from that RSO, they should follow the normal sign-up routine for that range session.
