Nordic Shooting With Cross-country Running
Nordic shooting with cross-country running or running biathlon (''Norwegian'': skogsløp med skyting, ''Swedish'': springskytte, ''Danish'': terrænløb) is a biathlon sport which combines running and shooting. Norway In Norway, "skogsløp med skyting" (literally ''shooting with cross-country running'') is a summer variant of the Nordic field biathlon where contenders compete in running and shooting with fullbore rifles. Competitions are held within Det frivillige Skyttervesen. The length of the running part is usually between 2 and 3 kilometers, and during the race shooting is done 2 to 3 times. Contrary to the winter variant, the firearms are not carried during the running part, but are instead stored in racks close to the shooting area. Field-Run competitions are arranged in either the "normal" or "sprint" format. The Norwegian ''normal program championship'' is arranged during the large yearly event Landsskytterstevnet, while the Norwegian ''sprint championship'' is held late ...

Biathlon
The biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. It is treated as a race, with contestants skiing through a cross-country trail whose distance is divided into shooting rounds. The shooting rounds are not timed per se, but depending on the competition, missed shots result in extra distance or time being added to the contestant's total. History According to ''Encyclopædia Britannica'', the biathlon "is rooted in the skiing traditions of Scandinavia, where early inhabitants revered the Norse god Ullr as both the ski god and the hunting god." In modern times, the activity that developed into this sport was an exercise for Norwegians as alternative training for the military. Norwegian skiing regiments organized military skiing contests in the 18th century, divided into four classes: shooting at mark while skiing at top speed, downhill race among trees, downhill race on big hills without falling, and a long race on flat ground while carrying a r ...

22 Lr
The .22 Long Rifle or simply .22 LR or 22 (metric designation: 5.6×15mmR) is a long-established variety of .22 caliber rimfire ammunition originating from the United States. It is used in a wide range of rifles, pistols, revolvers, smoothbore shotguns, and submachine guns. In terms of units sold it is by far the most common ammunition in the world today. Common uses include hunting and shooting sports. Ammunition produced in .22 Long Rifle is effective at short ranges, has little recoil, and is cheap to purchase, making it ideal for training. History American firearms manufacturer J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company introduced the .22 Long Rifle cartridge in 1887. The round owes its origin to the .22 BB Cap of 1845 and the .22 Short of 1857. It combined the case of the .22 Long of 1871 with a bullet, giving it a longer overall length, a higher muzzle velocity and superior performance as a hunting and target round, rendering the .22 Extra Long cartridges obsolete. The .22 LR ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Small-bore
Small-bore refers to calibers with a diameter of .32 inches or smaller. It may also refer to small-bore rifle competition. The medium-bore refers to calibers with a diameter between .33 inches up to .39 inches and large-bore refers to calibers with a diameter of .40 inches or larger. Miniature bore historically referred to calibers of .22 inches or smaller. There is much variance in the use of the term small-bore which over the years has changed considerably with anything under .577 caliber considered small-bore prior to the mid-19th century. __NOTOC__ Small-bore competition Small-bore competition often refers to shooting competitions conducted with .22 Rimfire ammunition, Rimfire target rifles.http://compete.nra.org/documents/pdf/compete/RuleBooks/SBR/sbr-book.pdf Small-bore rifle NRA rule book See also * List of rifle cartridges * Table of handgun and rifle cartridges References * Historic small-bore Enfield, BSA and other Service, Training and Target rifles reference pages, wi ...

Practical Shooting
Practical shooting, also known as dynamic shooting or action shooting, is a set of shooting sports where the competitors try to unite the three principles of precision, power, and speed, by using a firearm of a certain minimum power factor to score as many points as possible during the shortest amount of time (or sometimes within a set maximum time). While scoring systems vary between organizations, each measures the time of which the course is completed, with penalties for inaccurate shooting. The courses are called "stages", and are shot individually by the shooters. Usually the shooter must move and shoot from several positions, fire under or over obstacles and in other unfamiliar positions. There are no standard exercises or set arrangement of the targets, and the courses are often designed so that the shooter must be inventive, and therefore the solutions of exercises sometimes varies between shooters. International sanctioning bodies There are several international sanctionin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Field Rapid Shooting
Felthurtigskyting, literally field-rapid-shooting, is a practical rifle competition popular in Scandinavia, where the shooter has to engage three different targets placed at different distances with one shot each in the shortest time possible. Competitions are arranged by Det frivillige Skyttervesen in Norway, Svenska Skyttesportförbundet in Sweden and Danske Gymnastik- & Idrætsforeninger in Denmark. Felthurtigskyting is one of the disciplines in the Nordic Championship held each year. Procedure Maximum 6 rounds can be used, starting from the standing position with the rifle loaded and the safety catch applied. The shooting position is freestyle, but generally the prone position is used. At the command "Fire" the shooter disengages the safety catch and assumes firing position. There are several documented techniques for the "dive" which is the transition from standing to prone, which mainly can be divided into the "rolling method" and the "kneeling method". The targets used ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Long Range Shooting
Long range shooting is a collective term for shooting disciplines where the distance to target is significant enough that shooter has to put effort into calculating various ballistic factors, especially in regards to the deviating effects of gravity and wind. While shooting at shorter ranges, a shooter only has to slightly adjust the sights to compensate for limited bullet drop at most, but when the range is extended, wind drift will be the first factor affecting precision to the extent that it must be taken into serious account. Some would argue that long range shooting starts where assessment of wind, distance and various atmospheric conditions are equally important for the results as pure shooting skills - meaning that even if one conducts a technically perfect shot, the shooter will miss the target because of incorrect calculations, neglecting to take some elements into consideration, or merely due to unpredictable downrange conditions. It is widely accepted within in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
