I did US Summer Biathlon back in the 90s. We pretty much all used these Marlin rifles. There were all kinds of regulations and you could get all kinds of other rifles, but these were built like tanks and could take a beating. All guns went through tech first day. You could be pulled for checks at any other time by a steward. I don't remember a lot about the rule book. The thing I remember most was all the regulations on sights. Simple Dual aperture. You wouldn't think it was that complex. But there were a lot of bullets in that rule book all focused around sights. For us, Ammo was all provided for the event. It was all 22lr. You wanted more practice ammo, you could buy that yourself. But event ammo was spec. Fun times.

They used to have it down in Florida several years ago. Once they stop doing it, I don't recall anybody else picked it up.

True, if you are shooting cartridge revolvers and for your rifle. However, if you shoot cap and ball in a non-BP category, you are not required to meet power factor nor smoke factor. -
