I appreciate you posting the Mona technique. I lack the shoulder mobility to grab my barrel easily. I find the "normal" method super awkward. I just take mine off like a backpack with the harness straps.
The Mona technique always concerned me because there's a moment as the rifle is coming around that the barrel swings by the mats and other skiers. It seems to violate the barrel up or toward the targets rule, but many do it, esp the Swedish team
Totally agree. IBU Rule 8.5.1: "Making rifle movements that might endanger others or the competitors themselves, or that may be perceived by others as dangerous, is forbidden." Maybe nobody perceived her actions as dangerous...
No, that just looks like her personal style. I would recommend setting up in the middle but obviously she has done this so many times she figured out she likes to be a little off-set.

I thought it would be worthy to note, not only keeping the rifle pointed downrange, but also the correct moment that Tiril actually chambers a round.
Yes, good analysis
Fair to translate "I don't condone this" to mean "someone is eventually getting shot".

Your videos help in summertime, cant wait for the season 21/22
Awesome, Glad it helped! let me know if you run into any hiccups in your training and I can make a video about it for you!
Great stuff this analysis. Thanks for uploading!
My pleasure!
Question. When Tiril drops to the mat here, she is on the right side. Would it be better to be in the center, or am I missing something?
