Take your best shot.

Adults will now get that chance, starting this weekend.

Biathlon Yukon will host an adult biathlon open house Saturday from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. at the Grey Mountain Biathlon Range, followed by a wine and cheese at 6 p.m.

"It'll just be: come, shoot, ski if you wish, see what the rifles are all about,” Biathlon Yukon president Keith Clarke said.

Clarke said the decision to start the program came after a slew of requests.

At the ski swap, with a booth set up for Biathlon Yukon, a lot of adults stopped by to inquire about an adult program.

"We were getting more people interested in adult biathlon than parents, say, putting their kids into biathlon, so that's a significant number; that's significant interest anyways,” Clarke said.

"To my knowledge – I've been involved now for a little over 10 years – this is the first real focus of the club to put something together in an organized fashion and advertise and develop a program for adults.”

The club has enjoyed a healthy youth membership which jumped from 40 in 2008-2009 to 65 last season, attracting $80,000 in grant money to be invested into infrastructure – the largest infrastructure development since the club's inception in 1985.

Clarke said that after two years of interest, it's the parents turn to get involved.

"We actually pretty excited about the opportunity that we have to offer the program,” he said.

"The plan is to have an open house for those interested in our adult program … the open house is just the start.”

On Saturday, those interested can sign up for the winter program, with proposed training days Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

There are two options, Clarke explained.

"The club will offer an open range for adults, and our club rifles, on Wednesdays and Sundays starting this coming week,” he said.

"Those interested in participating will come to the range and they can ski around and shoot on their own, depending on their knowledge of the sport. So it'll be a drop-in, recreational ski for them, and they can also access the firearms.

"Basically, you sign up, and as a club member, you'll have access to the facility over the next four months.”

To participate on Wednesdays and Sundays biathletes must join the club, which costs $100.

The season typically runs from December to late March, early April.

The other option, Clarke said, is a formal lesson program.

"If there's a number of people interested in it, we can offer a pack of lessons on the whole sport of biathlon: becoming a better shot, what makes a better target shooter while skiing, etc…,” he said.

Why not earlier?

"The concern has been, how do we get it to go? Because we have the rifles and the firearms, how do we make it safe? How do we make it legal? How do we keep it all within the confines of biathlon? What it comes down to is that it's difficult to get a number of volunteers to make it work.

"We have those volunteers now,” Clarke said.

Of the wine and cheese, he added:

"We got a fun club, fun group of people.”
