Although the flu kept a good portion of the team away from practice this past weekend, Coach Gord Gibson still put those who arrived through the paces at the Cai Creek practice area, near the Salmo Pass. “We just keep practicing.” he said about the three ath- letes who were weft enough to come to practice. For the six area skicr- shooters who tried out for the -C. Winter Games earlier this month, the waiting game still continues. Gibsan expects to find out by the end of the month how many he can send: But they will have to patiently wait and see how many biathletes from other zones try-out. Only then will they know how many places are being allocated to Zone One, which contains the East and West Kootenay. For Gareth Orr, Andrea Handley and Dyana Doskoch, this was a weekend to focus their practice time on shoot- ing. Skiing small loops to get their heart rate up, the three took time to analyze their shooting groupings and make adjustments to the sights on their .22 calibre rifles. Handley and Doskoch tried several shooting drills which had them both firing at the same set of five drop targets One started on the right side and the other on the left and both worked their way towards the third and middle target. The winner is the one who » drops three out of five. This is a good drill to help increase both accuracy and speed in-shooting-which-are both important aspects of the sport. Declining snow conditions and destructive 4x4 drivers who drove over their smoothed tracks along the logging road at the Cai Creek Cross-country ski area have started to make their skiing tougher. All they can hope for is a drop in temperature and some new snow—until then they. will continue to practice and make the best of what condi- tions offer. Best'selection 4 in the!
