Ratings of some old and new -

cold-weather fabrics follow:
@ Wool. It’s still one of the
best insulators around, but once

and arrows take the place of ri-
fies.

Starting at one-minute intervals,
competitors ski one kilometre
from the starting point to the ar-
chery range. From a_ standing
position, they shoot four arrows
at a target 30 metres away.

Like biathion competition, scor-
ing is a simple hit or miss. The
cycle of skiing and shooting can
be repeated several times.

Those attracted to the sport in-
clude bowhunters, archers, cross-
country racers and bi-athletes.
