Pentathlon

Modern Pentathlon was traditionally fencing, 200m freestyle swimming, riding (show jumping), and a combined laser run (pistol shooting and running).  Following the 2024 Olympics, the riding discipline is being replaced by an obstacle course for the future.

Laser gun set up is $570 for the Ecoaims PP320EXP Laser Pistol and $200 for the LT50EXP Laser Travel Target.

I called Elaine Cheris and she was very encouraging for me to drop by and try out the laser pistols and go to fencing.  Classes are M-F from 4 PM to 6 PM and 10 AM to 12 PM on Saturday.  She lives a few blocks away and is happy to let me in.  I let her know that I would text, but was planning on dropping in next week.

For fencing, wear sneakers and casual clothes.  Think sweat pants and a t-shirt.

I called over to Atlanta Laser Shoot and while the owner is in Patagonia, he informed me that EcoAims is currently not shipping to the United States and laser pistols are very expensive in the absence of new imports.

When available again, I will purchase 

LT50EXP Laser Travel Target (218.86 Euros)

P3EXP (527.10 Euros) - OCR/Glock Style

OR

PP320EXP (475.65 Euros) - Pentathlon Style

These are manufactured and sold from Finland.  I will likely start with the PP320 and only purchase the P3EXP if I get involved in OCR.
