NSU was founded 2 December 1983 by Ragnar Hegge, and aims to preserve Norwegian history of fireams as well as to exercise shooting according to the old methods.
Competition rules are given by MLAIC, but NSU also offer own separate national equipment divisions for historical Norwegian military and civilian muzzleloaders from the end of the 19th century.

Some of the oldest firearms which have been used in competitions arranged by NSU is a matchlock mechanism from the 15th century.Østlendingen - Bruker våpen fra 1400-tallet(Østlendingen Newspaper - Competing with firearms from the 1400s) Firearms using cartridges may also be used, but they must be loaded with black powder.
