Competitions in Norway are arranged by Det frivillige Skyttervesen. Procedure The shooting position is prone with the rifle loaded, safety catch applied and the butt of the stock touching the ground. At the command "Ready!" the rifle is put to the shoulder and the safety catch disengaged. Five seconds later the "Fire!" command is given.

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".

Danske Gymnastik- & Idrætsforeninger
DGI (DGI, literally ''Danish Gymnastics and Sports Associations'') is a Danish association of sports clubs which includes 6,400 local sports clubs and 1.6 million athletes. DGI was formed in November 1992 as a merger of ''De Danske Gymnastik- og Ungdomsforeninger'' (DDGU), and ''De Danske Skytte-, Gymnastik- og Idrætsforeninger'' (DDSG & I). Having had an association agreement for several years, ''De Danske Skytteforeninger'' (DDS) was also merged with DGI in January 2013. DGI has traditionally had a much greater focus on recreational sports, in comparison to the National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark, having artistic gymnastics as their main business. Gradually, however, other sports such as badminton, football, handball and swimming Swimming is the self-propulsion of a person through water, such as saltwater or freshwater environments, usually for recreation, sport, exercise, or survival.

HK416
The Heckler & Koch HK416 is an assault rifle chambered for the 5.56×45mm NATO Cartridge (firearms), cartridge. It is designed and manufactured by the German company Heckler & Koch. Although the design is based on the AR-15 class of firearm (specifically the Colt M4 carbine family issued to the U.S. military), it uses a proprietary Gas-operated reloading, short-stroke gas piston system from Heckler & Koch's earlier Heckler & Koch G36, G36 family of rifles. The HK416 is the standard assault rifle of the Norwegian Armed Forces and the United States Marine Corps (designated M27 IAR, M27), and it has been selected by the French Armed Forces to replace the FAMAS and by the German Army to replace the Heckler & Koch G36, G36 as the standard issue service rifle. Other users include the Irish Army Ranger Wing, as well as the United States Navy, US Navy's SEAL Team Six, who used it to Killing of Osama bin Laden, kill Osama bin Laden in 2011.

Heckler & Koch G3
The Heckler & Koch G3 () is a selective fire, select-fire battle rifle chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO developed in the 1950s by the German firearms manufacturer Heckler & Koch, in collaboration with the Spanish state-owned firearms manufacturer CETME. The G3 was the service rifle of the German ''Bundeswehr'' until it was replaced by the Heckler & Koch G36 in the 1990s, and was adopted into service with numerous other countries. The G3 has been exported to over 70 countries and manufactured under license in at least 15 countries. Over 7.8 million G3s have been produced. Its modular design was used for several other HK firearm models, including the Heckler & Koch HK21, HK21, Heckler & Koch MP5, MP5, Heckler & Koch HK33, HK33, Heckler & Koch PSG1, PSG1, and Heckler & Koch G41, G41.

Mauser M67
The Kongsberg M67 is a bolt-action sharpshooter rifle made by ''Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk'' (currently Kongsberg Small Arms) of Norway, based on actions from Mauser M98k left by German armed forces in 1945. The M67 replaced the M59 in 1967 and was produced until the 1990s. The rifle is sometimes unofficially referred to as Mauser M67. However, both M59 and M67 were not licensed products of Mauser, but were produced by Kongsberg and marketed as such. Before the SIG Sauer 200 STR was approved for Scandinavian target shooting, the M67 and the Krag–Jørgensen were the most popular target rifles in Norway. Due to the Krag's propensity to change its point of impact under wet conditions, many shooters preferred to use the Krag for shooting on covered ranges and the M67 for field shooting. Most parts of this rifle, like the M59, were made from former Mauser M98 rifles but fitted with a heavy target barrel, a new oversize target stock, Busk target front and rear peep sight with 0.1 mrad a ...

Krag–Jørgensen
The Krag–Jørgensen is a repeating bolt-action rifle designed by the Norwegians Ole Herman Johannes Krag and Erik Jørgensen in the late 19th century. It was adopted as a standard arm by Norway, Denmark, and the United States. About 300 were delivered to Boer forces of the South African Republic. A distinctive feature of the Krag–Jørgensen action is its magazine. While many other rifles of its era use an integral box magazine loaded by a charger or stripper clip, the magazine of the Krag–Jørgensen is integral with the receiver (the part of the rifle that houses the operating parts), featuring an opening on the right hand side with a hinged cover. Instead of a charger, single cartridges are inserted through the side opening, and are pushed up, around, and into the action by a spring follower. Later, similar to a charger, a claw type clip would be made for the Krag that allowed the magazine to be loaded all at once, also known as the Krag "speedloader magazine". The ...

Milliradian
A milliradian (International System of Units, SI-symbol mrad, sometimes also abbreviated mil) is an SI derived unit for angular measurement which is defined as a thousandth of a radian (0.001 radian). Milliradians are used in adjustment of firearm sights by adjusting the angle of the sight compared to the barrel (up, down, left, or right). Milliradians are also used for comparing shot groupings, or to compare the difficulty of hitting different sized shooting targets at different distances. When using a scope with both mrad adjustment and a reticle with mrad markings (called an "mrad/mrad scope"), the shooter can use the reticle as a ruler to count the number of mrads a shot was off-target, which directly translates to the sight adjustment needed to hit the target with a follow-up shot. Optics with mrad markings in the reticle can also be used to make a stadiametric rangefinding, range estimation of a known size target, or vice versa, to determine a target size if the distan ...

Prone Position
Prone position () is a body position in which the person lies flat with the chest down and the back up. In anatomical terms of location, the dorsal side is up, and the ventral side is down. The supine position is the 180° contrast. Etymology The word ', meaning "naturally inclined to something, apt, liable," has been recorded in English since 1382; the meaning "lying face-down" was first recorded in 1578, but is also referred to as "lying down" or "going prone." ''Prone'' derives from the Latin ', meaning "bent forward, inclined to," from the adverbial form of the prefix ''pro-'' "forward." Both the original, literal, and the derived figurative sense were used in Latin, but the figurative is older in English. Anatomy In anatomy, the prone position is a position of the human body lying face down. It is opposed to the supine position which is face up. Using the terms defined in the anatomical position, the ventral side is down, and the dorsal side is up. Concerning the forea ...
