Objective of the study was to analyze the results of a series of shots, expressed in graphic and digital format, obtained with the help of the SCATT MX-W2 wireless optical sensor in highly qualified biathletes.
Research methods and structure. The study involved 25 biathletes of the Russian national team of the main and reserve teams with qualifications of masters of sports, international masters of sports, Honored masters of sports, aged 20-30 years. The total number of recorded training sessions was 154, with the number of shots in one training being from 50 to 150. After zeroing in the weapon, the athletes fired in a series of five shots at the installations in the conditions of the shooting range with live ammunition with a wireless sensor attached to the barrel at rest and after physical exertion.
The article presents the data of testing the shooting fitness of  biathletes of the Russian national team, obtained with the help of the SCATT MX-W2 wireless optical sensor and the analysis program.
Results and conclusion. The analysis of the shooting parameters obtained using the SCATT MX-W2 wireless optical sensor makes it possible to develop an algorithm for managing the improvement of the shooting training of biathletes when firing  ammunition. The examples of individual analysis of graphic and digital parameters of the technique of performing a series of shots are shown, which allow identifying errors, developing individual programs for shooting training and recommending ways to eliminate the identified deficiencies.

Keywords: shooting in biathlon, biathletes of the Russian national team, analysis of parameters of shooting fitness, wireless optical sensor SCATT MX-W2.
